The sport has been ruined by politics. I'm done with it. I have no more faith that the results are not rigged. Last year was very controversial and this year is just as bad. Don't bother with a US Grand Prix. We don't need you over here. Keep you corupt sport in Europe where it belongs!

This is a shame.

I'm a fan of both Lewis and Kimi. It didn't matter to me who won as long as, preferably, the other came second. Between them, they deserved it.

First, Kimi crashed out. I was devastated. Now this.

The closing laps gave us the best racing we've seen in a long while. Now that's all negated by the FIA's tampering with the results.

A 10-second penalty wouldn't be enough. A 15-second penalty would have been too suspicious. Better make it 25-seconds to be on the safe side.

I respectfully disagree with the stewards. This is BS! What precedence does this set for the rest of the year? horrible decision. Granted Hammy cut the chicane, but he did give back the place... STRANGE!

What?! That's a load of #### for cutting a corner. Kimi pinned Lewis forcing him to miss the chicane completely. Hamilton's had to do some defensive driving or else he would have smack right into the rear of the Ferrari. I thought Hamilton gave the position back to Kimi. This is bull.

Had Hamilton not cut the chicane, he would not have been inches off Kimi, a competitive advantage was gained. That said, when will Hammy learn that he can't be so rashly aggressive all the time? Today he was in line to add to his championship lead but he just can't help himself. His apparent disrespect for other drivers on course is a two edged sword.


The way Kimi was creeping around the circuit how is that you know he still wouldn't be inches off Kimi and out break him into turn one?

It's sad when we have two racers racing, and one gets called disrespectful. Talk about disrespecting the sport.

Not sure if it's true, but I just heard that Massa has said he won't accept the win.

Hamilton choked again!

He cut the course and received a well deserved penalty!
