What a great race, one of the best in a long while...

I also agree the ruling is crap. Hamilton deserves the win.
The championship is wide open the way it is now is wide open though.

So what now, are they going to give Kimi a 10 grid spot penalty for intentionally sticking his Super sharp @ss vertical front winglet into Hami's rear tire after getting passed. Nope!!! probably not. This is absolute BS x10!!!! I love it. It's freaking great!!! Even when you follow the rules, it's still not enough.

They are right about one thing, he did gain an advantage...... Talent, fairness, sportsmanship, did I mention talent. All those items gained at birth. It was an excellent race with unfortunate ending that turned into an unfair ending.

I just got the news...... TOTAL BS!!!!! If Hamilton would have gained the advantage I would have been the first to say come on Lewis. He went thru the chicane to avoid crashing into Kimi, after passing he let off to let Kimi get by then resumed. How can they penalize him. Ferrrari must have FIA officials on the payroll. What do you guys think? I watched it over and over again I cant believe that decision.

I mean come on!!! These people are not logical. Hami ran Kimi down like a cheetah after a gazelle. The pass would have been super super difficult but it would have been inevitable. How the F could they call it "gaining an advantage?" Absolute Political BS!!!

F1 sucks.


Sorry, I should clarify - the FIA and FOM suck. This was definitely one of the better races from start to finish. It's just too bad the decisions outside of what's happening on track are such crap.

After last year there is no way the fia could ever be on MM's side. Stealing keeps coming back to bite them in the ***.

Amazing race for Heidfeld and Vettel!

And yet you guys rag on NASCAR? Christ, McLaren paid $100m in fines and lost a championship... isn't that punishment enough? This was shaping up to be an awesome F1 stretch run, and now I have no interest in watching another race. Why waste 2 hours when the outcome is up to some ******* steward?

Might as well watch figure skating.

I was actually pretty upset when Kimi crashed out. He deserved the win if he would have beat Lewis. He deserved second place if Lewis beat him. The crash was a bitter moment for many. But to then have the FIA interfere to this degree??? An awesome race that will be tainted for all eternity.....
