that info would have come about to the stewards in the post race interviews, you can't blame mclaren for being cautious when it comes to the stewards! so because of the misunderstanding they should only have classified trulli 4th instead of a 25 second penalty.

I picked this one.

The result as it was at the flag (Trulli P3, Hamilton P4)

I doubt Hamilton will lose his 3rd place anyways.

Indeed not, however they can't play it safe and then, once they realise that actually Lewis was well-within his rights to have kept the place, go to the stewards to get Trulli penalised! If the race director had said to let Trulli past, then it would've been fair. But it was totally a team choice. They made the mistake of not knowing the regulations. I can't believe how anybody thinks it is fair that Jarno should lose is podium spot for McLaren messing up!

Because of the 'misunderstanding' they should have left the result to stand as it was at the chequered flag! Given the facts that you are a McLaren fan and were as outraged as I was when it came to Spa, I thought you'd be a little more reasonable than this. The whole thing was a mistake on McLaren's part and it's outrageous that they even lodged a complaint with the stewards after giving the position away.

wheres evidence that McLaren even lodged a protest? or is that an assumption on your part?

Sweet, whereabouts?

And he basically said along the lines of "Trulli overtook Lewis under the safety car, the FIA are looking in to it so hopefully we'll have a result soon". Mixed in with a bit of Eddie Jordan talking over the top of everyone

I'm not sure if this has already been posted, however there's some non-official footage of trulli's offroad:

Hamilton slowing down happened later on and is not on the video.
Funnily enough Glock went off track at the same turn. Cold tyres?

By the way, nice forum you have here

That settles it for me. Trulli 3rd, Hamilton 4th

I'm not entirely sure how that clip makes that decision for you >.>

[nic5]

great video.
guys, look at around 0:27 of the video.
didn't another car just overtook a red bull after the turn? was that Vettel because he was too slow?

[EwanM]

Proves he was ahead of Hamilton.

[EwanM]

I wonder if the FIA will use that?
