The reverse camera angle showed slight contact between Lewis and Kimi, who was trying to push him off anyway. The only advantage Hamilton had was that he was better on the brakes than Raikkonen, I mean he had to slow his acceleration to let Kimi past, how can that be considered an advantage? If anyone gained an advantage it was Raikkonen, bloody stupid decision from bloody stupid people.
It's up to the person passing to pass the car in front. Kimi didn't need to let him go around or anything. Personally I don't think Lewis was going to make that corner with how he entered it even if Kimi's car hadn't been there.Quote:

Petty officialdom needs to take a back seat and let the racing do the talking. We shouldn't be nit picking over the replays, Kimi did this, Lewis did that. It was good hard racing - why can't we just leave it at that? I just hope that Ferrari where not digging away behind the scenes (oh yes they do) in this disgraceful decision.
One thoroughly disgusted F1 fan.
Eh? How do you work that one out? Did you watch the race? Did you not notice it was wet and slippery?Quote:

If there was a wall there would Raikkonen have had the right to squeeze Hamilton into it?
Are the stewards on the payrole of Ferrari ?
Just what is going on here ? Mclaren admitted the imformation they illegally recieved last year,they put their hands up.in the hope that it was END of the problem.They let ferrari win last year by making silly mistakes to let Ferrari win the drivers title,which was plain to see.BUT moseley still must think Ron tried to stich him up with the Sun Paper thing.Too much bad feeling here!
Mclaren needs to appeal AND get all the other teams to break away and then Ferrari have NO one to race against ,so they can win their own races,but they might then complain about the marshals
Sorry I am getting really p***ed off with these desicions,all in ferrari,sfavour it STINKS.just what did Hamilton do wrong ? We want to see pure racing,what we get now is NO overtaking or Ferrari will protest you !
Now that you mention it I'm sure if there were stairs Raikkonen would have pushed Lewis down them and slept with Lewis' brother.Quote:

ok..even with your view of things..did that gave him advantage after the corner ? Lewis even lost advantage being next to kimi before the corner and being behind him after the corner....Quote:

McLaren have lodged an appeal against Lewis Hamilton's demotion to third place in the Belgian Grand Prix, the FIA confirmed on Sunday night.
They are fully justified in doing so IMHO :up: It may be risky as there is the possibility the penalty could be increased, but they simply had to appeal.
