Hamilton-Raikkonen Incident
Three laps before the finish line in the rain began to rain. At the end of 42 laps, Lewis Hamilton in the turn of the Bus stop caught Kimi Raikkonen, who was the leader during most of the race, evened with him and overtook the chicane, after which the finish line barely let Raikkonen go ahead (according to the rules, after overtaking due to chicane cutting, the pilot should later skip the opponent) started the next attack and bypassed Raikkonen in the first turn of the track. Raikkonen, after half a circle, slipped on the track, hit a wall and got off, and Lewis won the race. After the end of the race, the stewards analyzed the overtaking incident and decided to punish Hamilton with a 25-second penalty, because they considered that he gained the advantage by cutting the chicane, since in the case of a careful corner, he couldnβt overtake Kimi in the corner La Surs . In the final protocol, Lewis rolled back to third place, and the winner was declared Felipe Massa. [4] The McLaren team appealed the decision of the stewards, but on September 23 at the FIA International Court of Appeals a verdict was rejected to reject the protest, as a result, Felipe Massa remained the official winner of the race.
