Hamilton Stripped of Win - Official

[harsha]

what the #$@%$%^%$^#&$%^&$^@#$%^

Fools and Idiots Association strikes again

[Bradley]

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.

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).

[Robinho]

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

[J4MIE]

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!

[F1boat]

McLaren will appeal and will win the appeal IMO.

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

ABSOLUTELY DISGRACEFUL!!!!!!!!!!

kimi puts him off the road, hamilton comes back on, drops back then overtakes and kimi spins off the track, what kind of advantage did hamilton gain!...NON WHAT SO EVER!....but hes penilised 25 seconds.....F1 IS DEAD TO ME!.....RACING..WHAT RACING!

[dwf1]

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!

Mark I believe they are the same stewards at every race to try to ensure consistency....god knows they are Ferrari fans

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