Hamilton's Spa appeal gets underway

[CJW93]

Lewis Hamilton and the McLaren and Ferrari teams have arrived in Paris for the court of appeal hearing that will decide the result of the Belgian Grand Prix.
The Spa stewards gave Hamilton a 25s penalty for missing the Bus Stop chicane during his spectacular dice with Kimi Raikkonen, dropping the McLaren driver from first to third.
Although Hamilton overtook Raikkonen by cutting the corner, he then backed off and allowed the Ferrari to re-pass before out-braking it into La Source.
However the officials' view was that Hamilton had not done enough to concede the place, as although Raikkonen's car was completely ahead, Hamilton was still in an advantageous position due to his Bus Stop short-cut.


Hopefully the Fia give Lewis the points back

[Judge Judy]

I'd be surprised if they do

I hope he does get his points though.

[CJW93]

I highly doubt he will get back the 10 points, but we can always hope

[RareIce]

his appeal failed he'll continue to stay 1 point ahead in the championship
