Default Hamilton Stripped of Win - Official
I am a Ferrari fan, but that's humiliating for Formula 1. I am saddened. It was a great victory for Hamilton.

Not sure I agree with the FIA on this one.
I'll have to read the motivation of this decision first.

Good for Massa and Ferrari. Who says Kimi is not good second driver..

I don't like races to be decided in court, but in this case it is justified imo.

A very sad result. And after a race for the lead which was not only such a blast to watch in the last few laps, but which was obviously as fairly fought as a naturally competitive situation involving cars can get. Is there anything left to say?

Seriously, as an observer you can take so much, but these kind of decisions are beginning to intrusively deaden the sport for me.

That's such a bull move that just shows how even people in power in the sport are biased by their opinion of Lewis. Hamilton had to cut the chicane because Kimi squeezed him (fairly) but yielded the position to where he'd have been anyway, right behind Kimi.

I really can't see how this is justified. Regardless, Hamilton is still leading the championship, but this is decision is really hard to agree with

This is bad for the sport. It will fuel the FIArrari speculation and guarantess that nobody will try overtaking anymore.

Let's wait and see if it was the chicane, or the 4x line changing. With the chicane move I agree there was nothing wrong (imho).

that depends on what you think he did - if you thinks its fort he weaving you were complaining about then thats not what was penalised, but for the advangtage gained by cutting the chicance - i can see some rationale for a slap on the wrists or even a nominal (say 5sec) penalty, but not for 25 seconds - i have a feeling that there will be an appeal over this one

Absolutely and utterly rediculous decision and I am absolutely gobsmacked.

I've never said it before but I feel that almost all the decisions the FIA are making are ruining their sport

I hope Lewis still wins the title and gives them the two fingered salute!

How ing stupid this is
The FIA want racing they get it
Hamilton goes off but lets Kimi passed so he wont be penalised then this happens

Does anyone have a contact for these idiot belgian organising stewards

McLaren should sue or threaten to pullout and push ahead with other teams and form their own championship so Ferrari can race themselves

I can not believe that!!!! If Lewis had not cut and carried on, he would have hit Kimi out the race and given a drive-through for an avoidable accident......So he avoids it, gives the position back and gets a drive-through.......this is as mad as the Keegan/Ashley saga at Newcastle.

I hope McLaren appeal!!!!! FIA has just killed so called RACING!

Where does the 25 sec penalty come from? Who dreamt the penalty up? Why not a fine? Questions, questions?

I want FM to win, but not in that way. Such victory is pointless.
