The Stewards said he overtook under yellow flags. As a result, Glock loses his 8th place to Webber.
Still no news on the Kimi/Hamilton decision.

Of course, while Massa is the direct beneficiary, this absurd ruling also helps Raikkonen by ensuring that, even though he crashed out under his own power and fault, he is now still 19 points back. He was 17 points down last year with 2 races left. 19 over 5 doesn't look so bad.
This series has become a farce. I wonder if Massa knew the end result going into the press conference and that was the reason for his discomfort.
Yeah, I know that's not the case. But these ridiculous rulings do invite conspiracy theories.
Is 25 points typical chicanery? Or is the stance of the FIA that they'll make it up as they go along and deduct as many points as needed to achieve the desired result.
Hard to see how the stewards' ruling stands.

Wow. They took this long to give a guy a yellow flag penalty, then 10 minutes later come up with 25 seconds for Hamilton? What in the world are they thinking?
Maybe all the time they spent was just figuring out how much time a theoretical drive-thru penalty should cost.

For all of you that liken NASCAR to WWE, I would say you no longer have a leg to stand on. This has to be the biggest load of HORSESH*T ever seen. To take away a win for something like this is ridiculous. AA JMHO

On the speed report Varsha said that McLaren had checked with Charlie Whiting after Lewis cut the chicane then let Kimi by and were told everything was OK. It's possible thing is overturned. I think it should also be taken account that Kimi got the lead back on the same lap and then crashed himself out. I don't see where Hamilton gained an advantage.

If it took them this long to come up with something that obvious, we'll be here for a while... so here's some "mood music" while we're waiting.

We have 2 similar posts.
These after race decisions about on track activity is absurd. If they thought Hamilton cut the chicane or failed to give Kimi his proper position clear enough they should have told him to let Kimi by DURING the race.
Kimi fan but this is not right.
What scares me now is that we are going to have McLaren appeal and then we never know who has how many points.
