"they don't have the balls either, that's their problem,"

From Webber: "
"You don't get penalised for overtaking people. Lewis did not get penalised for the move itself. He got penalised for taking an advantage from the previous corner." http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/70490

From hamilton:
"Webber don't have the balls, that his problem"

I remember seeing the notice for the investigation on my TV screen just before I turned off my TV, which was after the podium ceremony.

Not a surprise for me, anyone with a little racing-experience can see that what Lewis did was wrong and deserved a penalty :p :

yeah not a surprise for me either

No, I thought not.

Sure. Give Kimi a 25 second penalty, too! :)

well it still is the very first time in a situation like this..they use "gained an advantage" as a way to give someone a penalty...while there's still nowhere described what exactly "an advantge" means...I keep finding it weird a penalty is based on something that's not clearly described in a rulesbook !

anyway..now they say..the driver cutting a chicane has to give back position and has to wait at least one corner before he can make another pass attempt correct ? so let's go back to Spa..same situation..but a 3th car involved (let's call him Robert for the occasion)...a car....that's also goin way faster than the leadcar and is close behind the 2 fighting for position...so what Lewis should have donne is...give back his position and not make a move on Kimi at La Source...in order to take away the advantage he gained correct ?

Now because of Kimi being slower than lewis and lewis being forced to stay behind the ferrari..and keeping in mind Robert is also goin a lot faster than Kimi..he gets behind lewis and makes a pass on him and eventualy also on the leadcar at la Source...Now I don't know..but would that not mean the rule FIA imposed on lewis disadvantage him towards Robert as he was not allowed to defend his position...because not allowed to pass Kimi himself ?

this is not easy to explain I know..But I hope you somehow get the point on what I am trying to show here ?

Because you know, if the situation was reversed, Ron would run right over and hand deliver the trophy to Ferrari! :)

Sure, but Ron was "only" giving it to Fisi in a Jordan. Imagine if he had to give it to MS and Ferrari! :)
