What did you think of Lewis Hamilton losing his win at the Belgian Grand Prix due to a stewards decision?Please leave your comments here.Footage of the incident ...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rd2n1HxkRy8We will comment here plus have our race review video online soon. Thanks for watching.--------------------------------------Below is some reactions from F1 drivers etc on the incident - Lewis - I didn't gain an advantage from it. We were still able to race at the next corner and I gave him his spot back, and I think it was fair and square.Kimi - There are rules about cutting chicanes and gaining an advantage. I don't have anything (else) to say.Massa - It has been made absolutely clear that anyone cutting a chicane has to fully restore the position and also any other eventual advantage gained. If Lewis had taken the chicane correctly, he would never have been able to pass Kimi on the very short straight that follows it.Uncle Ron - We immediately radioed him to let Kimi back past and he immediately let Kimi past. We then checked with Charlie Whiting and, although Charlie is not a steward, the opinion he gave was that he had complied with the rules.Stefano Domenicali - This is racing.Alonso - In the end, what they say is always fair, whether you like it or not.Trulli - Hamilton got an advantage by cutting the chicane. Had he stayed on the road, he wouldn't have had the speed to overtake the Ferrari.Lauda - This is the worst judgment in the history of F1, the most perverted judgment I have ever seen. It's absolutely unacceptable when three functionaries (the race stewards) influence the championship like this. It is clear to me now - Ferrari does get preference.Stewart - F1 is being overseen by people who are not doing it full time and we get inconsistent decisions.Moss - I thought it was an absolutely appalling decision.Hans-Joachim Stuck - The pendulum clearly swings in the favour of Ferrari, and that has often been the case.Ralfie - To me, it was fair overtaking.--------------------------------------(Music is "Honest Mistake" by The Bravery")

Nov 19, 2008 - eloidor - senna was just the same as lewis in terms of the way he conducted himself on the track (making optimistic and sometimes dangerous moves). also Senna thought (although i would say 'knew') he was in a class of his own. so it sounds to me like Senna is the perfect person to compare Lewis to... maybe not in terms of personality, but DEFINITLEY in terms of driving style and etiquette... Don't be jealous just because we've never had (and probably never will have) a Sweedish F1 champ!

Nov 19, 2008 - NICKYNGWEI - I'm sure if Hamilton read your comment he won't be too insulted... i mean you can't even spell his name, and Aaronelvey - you can't even read his name... Hamilton is well educated and a great driver... you guys are obviously not that well educated, and neither of you could handle a 2.4L v8 F1 car churning out roughly 750hp at 19,00rpm... SHOW SOME RESPECT SINCE YOUR BOTH OBVIOUSLY F1 fans!!! you don't have to support him, but you don't have to be an arse either.

Nov 19, 2008 - *19,000rpm

Nov 19, 2008 - A bit after the event I know but.... I bloody loved the look on the Ferrari boys when they realised they had been beaten! F**king priceless. More than made up for Spa, more than enough, keep me going til next season. Well done Lewis
blackbill2 Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - Lewis wins DWC, despite the being robbed of points by Max Moseley the other crooked perverts at the FIA. Priceless!
theunholysoul Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - It seems to me that FIA has always been biased towards Ferrari. I am not gonna be surprised if Ferrari are paying those punks. I dont blame them if they ever did receive payments from the team. If you think about it prostitutes are freakin expensive now a days. Seriously, I reckon they prefer Ferrari to win, because there are more Ferrari supporters than any other team. They obviously bring money to FIA. Hence, they must keep those fans happy. Unfortunately it did not happen - boo hoo :)
jokinaroun100 Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - that was absolutely hilarious watching theire faces drop and you know it was probably more about beating hamilton rather than winning the championship i reckon
free1970iow Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - God, there is a lot of bad feeling here. I'm a rational bloke and not too easily distracted from reality but...I fucking loved it, seeing ferrari lose. Its not about being english you moron its about following your man. Lewis is a fucking great driver, end of. Go 'n cry about it then slag off the winner, you'll all get your turn to have a great world champion but for now its England and probably for a bit to come. Love it.
litbert Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - i dont see what people have against hamilton i this he is amazin and a bloody brilliant driver so people need to get over themselves and start classin hamilton champion.
nickrapids Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - yeah that's it that's the look he will have when a new boy wonder comes out of nowhere and kicks his ass on the track.
1994jack2008 Says:
