SPA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *spoiled*
 
Go Mchami!!!!!! I was literally screaming the last two laps for various reasons. Wonder how many men had heart attacks this morning.

Gotta say, I'm no feza fan but i did feel pretty bad for Kimi.

Really was hoping to see Bourdais on the podium.

Spa is hands down the best F1 circuit, just perfect in every way. :thumbup:

Great race! I agree with your sentiments about Kimi...

Awesome finish by Quick Nick! Will surely make Kubica feel more mad...

+1. Kimi is in a bit of a drought lately.........I really do hope he picks up soon. But I'm pleased with a P3 result for Heidfeld!

Absoluitely heartbreaking finish.

I seriously question if Hamilton is good or just damn lucky :(

Rookie year outscored his two-time defending champion teammate and was within 1pt of being champion. Has shown his skillz in the wet and overtaking too. Nothing lucky about his performance. And let's not forget his performance in GP2 either.

I disagree, I have 1 word: Rain. Without it, he doesn't win that race. He also got lucky that he didn't crash or get a penalty cutting through the chicane right before the pass.

What a load of balls that was. Lewis stripped of his win, 25 second penalty so he ends up third and oh, guess what? A Ferrari wins.

Best last 5 laps on any GP in the last few years, I see nothing wrong with what Lewis did at all, he attempted a move, Kimi moved over onto him so he went over the chicane and conceded the place, then retook him on the next corner. And then he gets it stripped by some political w***er on a mission to stuff McLaren. If I was McLaren I'd tell the FIA where to go.

Afterwards I was considering going to Belgium next year, they can stuff it, I'm keeping my money

I agree with Scottie.

This sucks I hope they appeal and this bad decision gets over turned.

Thunder22 09-07-2008 04:40 PM

Wow, just saw that he was penalized!

Well, can't say that I didn't see that coming :) lol! (lauging at the prognostication not the penalty).

He absolutely gained an advantage by cutting the chicane. If he has stayed on the course he would have had to drop his speed by a large enough amount to avoid an accident that he wouldn't have been able to make the pass that he wound up making after conceding the position back.

:iagree: we should've seen this coming, esp after autosport wrote that the stewards were looking into the incident almost as soon as the race finished.

I mean WTF?! He did cut the chicane bc he got squeezed over by Kimi. But then he let Kimi pass him to concede the position. He only passed him again in the following corner.
