Same old story…
Apparently, the stewards at Sunday’s race missed two things that are obvious in this video. Firstly, Hamilton IS marginally ahead in the run down to the chicane; unfortunately, he’s on the outside, which is not the racing line for that corner. And secondly, he immediately gives the place back to Raikonnen - as they go down the pit straight, the McLaren is fully behind the weaving Ferrari.
McLaren have appealed against the penalty, but their appeal may not be allowable under FIA rules; it is unclear whether a time penalty (as opposed to a points penalty) can be appealed. Perhaps people wouldn’t be crying “FOUL” quite so loudly if it hadn’t been Ferrari that benefited from Hamilton’s demotion to third. After all, over recent seasons the FIA, and Max Moseley particularly, do seem to have been more than generous to the Italian team.
