From the F1 2008 Sporting Regulations - published on: 19.05.2008

“The end-of-race signal will be given at the Line as soon as the leading car has covered the full race
distance in accordance with Article 5.3.”

this seems to say to me that because Lewis was still behind Glock when Massa crossed the line, he actually still finishes in 6th, not 5th.

thoughts people?

and just in-case anyone is wondering, check it for yourself at:

In ALL racing forms cars that are on the leading lap are still racing until THEY cross the finish line!

where was the insult?

[McLaren Fan]

I didn't see any insults. Anyway, he's clearly not much of a fan of motorsport or is a very desperate Massa and/or Ferrari fan.

FIA Confirmed!

just looking though that look at vettle!

he's defo one to watch

[McLaren Fan]

Vettel is brilliant. I know Kovalainen has potential, but I'd be prepared to pay him off if it meant Vettel coming to McLaren. I can't see it happening. There is too much red tape surrounding him with BMW and Red Bull, but there's no harm in trying to lure talent like that to the team.

A bit harsh
And could be seen as an insult - at least it wasn't very nice to say this to a new member

He's been on my watch list since he replaced RK last year for one race and drove into the points.
I'll be rooting for him next year - hopefully Red Bull will be competitive, he deserves a good car so that he can show his brilliance on a regular basis.
It'll be tough for me to choose between SV and FM if it comes to that
