Lewis Hamilton has had his Belgian Grand Prix victory overturned by the
stewards, handing the win to title rival Felipe Massa, who finished second
on the road.
Hamilton was given a 25-second penalty for cutting the Bus Stop chicane
during his wheel-to-wheel battle for the lead with Kimi Raikkonen during
the closing laps.
With 25 seconds added to his race time, Hamilton has dropped to third in
the classification behind BMW Sauber’s Nick Heidfeld.
The decision brings about a four-point swing in Massa's favour in the
championship standings, reducing Hamilton's lead from eight to four points.

Can I bring you back to the snippet of the interview I posted last October and re-affirm my point that there is a conflict of interest at the top of the FIA table. :|

Isnt it the track stewards that made this decision though :?
AND I find it strange that Ron Dennis says he contacted.....
....Charlie Whiting (FIA Formula One Race Director, Safety Delegate,
Permanent Starter and head of the F1 Technical Department, in which
capacities he generally manages the logistics of each F1 Grand Prix,
inspects cars in Parc fermé before a race, enforces FIA rules, and controls
the lights which start each race.)
After the incident and he stated that Lewis had done enough to satisfy
himself, so surely the race stewards must have had some contact with him??
I think McLaren will appeal and get this reversed.......

First I agree with Ron Dennis :shock: :shock: :shock:
Now I find myself agreeing with Coulthard :shock: :shock: :shock:
In a recent interview about the Spa contraversy he said.....
There are a set of rules and regulations, and the race track is defined by
the white lines. In Monaco you don't cut corners, you hit barriers.
"You can argue it was not Monaco, but the driver would have respected
the corner if there was a barrier there. Lewis knew there was no barrier so
he cut the corner.
"He did not need to go across there particularly, he did because he tried to
go side-by-side with Raikkonen and Kimi squashed him in that position.
From a driving point of view you have to look at the white lines as
barriers."
So maybe deep gravel traps and tyre barriers to stop this happening again :?
