F1: Hamilton WINS WINS WINS... Then his Spa victory was "Stripped" away


Lewis Hamilton won an exciting race on sunday after a dramatic final lap. Rain had a major effect in changing the race's overall driver standings

Kimi Raikkonen and Lewis hamilton battled out the race lead in the final two laps with Hamilton snatching it in the final lap.However after the race, the race's stewards investigated Hamilton's take over manuveor on Raikkonen and decided to penalize Hamilton with a 25 second race penalty. With the 25 second penalty Hamilton was placed 3rd overall, awarding the race win to Massa and second place to Nick Heidfeld.

I dont think that stripping the victory and placing him third overall was close to being fair. Please let us know what you think
