If the GP2 races are anything to go by we could be in for an entertaining afternoon! A little rain in this mornings race at some sections of the track....
I hope so, in general spa races are quite boring these days.
Expecting to see Lewis pit a lap before Massa, if Massa can stick with him he should pass in the pits.
Or scenario B: Massa makes another good start and passes Lewis into turn 1 and its another boring procession. All assuming its dry.

Lewis and Kimi under investigation. After Valencia the FIA will be stupid to do anything.

This is silly! I guess its for the chicane where Hamilton ended up using the escape road bit then letting kimi back past before getting him at la source?
Seemed Kimi was using quite a bit of run off at times as well. What do they expect in such conditions? Regardless of who won, why do they always try and ruin what we, the fans, really want to see? I was on the edge of my seat for at least the last 10 laps, and fell of it in the last 3!!

I dont know, generally theres little to go on, and I think its just a matter of protocol, in the end they should issue no penalty. If they do, it'll either be a grid penalty for monza or a time penalty.

now kubica alonso and heidfeld being investigated, likely for the passes in the last corner with yellows for Kimis crash.
I think this could also be part of the Kimi lewis investigation. Nothing official has been said why they are investigating, and several times Kimi and Lewis passed each other round cars which had spun or gone off track which should bring out yellows.

glock gets 25 second penalty for passing under yellows, Webber up to 8th.
So that gives an idea of what penalties to expect for the rest. Still cant see Lewis or Kimi getting one though.

lewis given 25 second penalty
3rd in race
P.S. Should Charlie be allowed to keep his 30? I think he did a good job to get it bang on. Ferrari fan or not even I think its a BS penalty.

What a load of BULL ...... we get one of the best finishes in years edge of the seat stuff, absolutely no reason to penalise anyone, or are the FIA trying to stop legitimate overtaking just to make the sport safer. I also have my suspicions that had it been Kimi who made that pass at the bus stop, gave up the place, to go on to pass at la source, then continue to go on and win that there would not have been any penalty.

What a load of B****cks!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is ridiculous.
Are McLaren appealing this? Massa in no way deserves this win. Utter tosh. I sort of expected a ferrari pleasing grid penalty for monza or somthing, even thugh i dont really see what Hamilton did wrong. He gave the place back! - but this stinks!

It hardly seems worth watching for the rest of the season ...... if the FIA want Ferrari to get the trophy so much then they should just give it to them and we can all go do something more entertaining.
They always favour Ferrari over McLaren.
The last time there was a possible penalty against Ferrari that could have gone in McLaren's favour, the FIA decided to investigate the incident
after
the race and then they just fined them 'so as not to interfere with the race positions'. It's an absolute disgrace.

Hamilton was deemed to have "cut the chicane and gained an advantage", thereby breaching Article 30.3(a) of the sporting regulations and Appendix L chapter 4 Article 2 (g) of the International Sporting Code...................how the f#%& does letting another driver pass you on purpose to gain back their lost position translate into gaining an advantage!!!!.................Looks like the Ferrari gate fine and inspections were not the end of the affair after all. The consistency of FIA rulings is just lately are a joke. I guess the sun must shine out of a collective Ferrari rear end.
