2009 Belgian GP – Saturday practice
The final practice session did not make us any smarter. Heidfeld, Trulli, Sutil, Grosjean, Glock, Kubica – these are the top 6 drivers in FP3. Rosberg seems to have finally found some pace in his Williams and finished in 7th. The reliability worries continue for Red Bull – this time it was Mark Webber’s turn [...]

Mixed feelings about the FIA’s ruling on Hamilton’s appeal
The verdict is out, the penalty stands, Hamilton still leads the championship, but still only by a point. I have been expecting no other result but my feelings about the whole issue are rather mixed. On one hand I do agree with the actual penalty. But the way FIA swept the appeal off the table [...]

The Spa Verdict – Hamilton’s Penalty – FIA rejects McLaren’s appeal
As many predicted, FIA rejected McLaren’s appeal against Lewis Hamilton’s 25 sec penalty for the chicane cutting back in Spa. The FIA’s reasoning – drive-through penalties could not be appealed:
“Article 152 of the International Sporting Code states that drive-through penalties are ‘not susceptible to appeal. The competitor Vodafone McLaren Mercedes appealed the Steward’s decision before [...]

2008 Belgian F1 GP – The incident, the penalty – justice or farce ?
The penalty imposed on Bruno Senna during the Belgian GP2 race renewed the debate about pro-Ferrari bias from FIA. No, Bruno Senna is not yet racing against Ferrari. But he received drive through penalty for almost an identical “offence” that brought Felipe Massa under investigation in Valencia – dangerous relase from the pits. Felipe Massa [...]

2008 Belgian F1 GP – Wolf’s Race Review

It actually went even further and the final result was amended about 2 hours after the race with 25 second penalties to Timo Glock (overtaking Webber under yellow flags) and the controversial one to Lewis Hamilton for cutting the chicane. The debate on that [...]

2008 Belgian F1 GP – Hamilton penalised, Massa wins
Lewis Hamilton was handed 25 secs penalty for cutting the chicane in the wheel to wheel fight with Kimi Raikkonen in dying stages of Belgian GP. This move, following Massa’s no penalty in Valencia, will no doubt spark new hot debates about the stewards’ decision making.
The penalty means Felipe Massa was handed the race win, [...]
