FIA throws out Hamilton F1 Spa appeal.

FIA throws out Hamilton F1 Spa appeal.

Formula 1 World Championship leader Lewis Hamilton has failed in his bid to see the penalty that cost him victory in the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps overturned – after the FIA today ruled his and McLaren-Mercedes' appeal ‘inadmissible'.

I think this is disgaceful, if F1 continues in this fashion the I will not be watching it next year. I will stick to BTCC, MOTOGP & BSB were this kind of thing does not happen

Never mind Lewis you'll just have to win every race. You are a fantastic racer however it seems that as you race for McLaren and are British you are never going to win a border line decision.

Here's and idea. Change your nationality and sign for Ferrari. You will be world champion unti you retire.

All joking aside. Good Luck Lewis you have the real fans and your country behind you. Ron, make sure you give the best car and don't **** up his strategy this year.

Mark.

What a predictable travesty. This is the first we have heard of a drive through penalty in the weeks since the race. I expected the judges were well coached beforehand especially as it was Mclaren in the dock. That will teach the nasty British press !!!!

suprise suprise. what a farce that was it just goes to show ferrari's international assistance win again.
once again they show one rule for one team and a different rule for the others.
and why was ferrari's qc questioning LH surely it should have been the FIA questioning him not some ferrari lacki.

still it just proves what i've thought for years f1 and the fia are as bent as a banana.

This is worrying, drive thru penalties cannot be appealed. There should also be a rule that they cannot be enforced after a race has finished. I mean all they have to do now if not happy with a result is hand someone a time penalty and there is nothing they can do. What a joke.

The result of the appeal is no real surprise, just a little disappointing that the FIA have once again tarnished the sport with an awful decision.... can't wait to see what they come up with to stop mclaren and hamilton winning the drivers and constructors titles....
maybe just read it in paper a few days later once they have made their minds up !

Im not surprised, after all he has talent and dosent drive a red car. Aggressive but fair (usually) moves were the trademark of a certain German bloke in a red car (who is the GOAT officially). The only way Lewis stands any chance of winning the world title is to go to Ferrari. But i hope justice is served and he wins this year in a Mclaren.
Go on Lewis- stick two fingers up at the *********

Well, it may be F1's first night race this weekend, but the days of me being an avid follower of F1 are near over, I'll be down the pub Sunday having a Sunday Roast - sod the race. I may record it, & watch it later, but that doesn't matter as the 'stewards' wont have chosen their winner by then anyway.

How sad....

It appesrs once again that the championship is going to be decided in the courtroom and not on the track. If had been one of the lesser lights in the race nothing would have been done, Hamilton was outstripping Ferrari hand over fist at that stage of the race.It nowappears that the best drivers do not win races.If these decissions are made by the stewards in daylight god knows what will happen in night racing Maybe the winner does not need to turn up unless his name is Hamelton.I am quickly losing interest

I'm really not surprised, I guess the only way you can win races these days is by capturing pole and leaving the pack behind. Which is sad because the so-called new regulations are supposed to increase overtaking. So I guess we will see increased penalties in the future if the driver that's being overtaken pushes the other driver wide into gravel traps and chicane's. What happened to those rules?

What a surprise (sic).

If only Ron Dennis had had the guts to step down after being caught cheating, Lewis might not be up against this MacBrick Wall.

Completely predictable. The President of the ICA was even from Mosley's home territory of Monaco. How funny that the FIA took the inadmissibility point on this McLaren appeal but did not take it in the 2007 Toro Rosso case when the Court held that an appeal against a 25-second penalty was admissible and the FIA left the inadmissibility points "to the sovereign application of the Court". However, I guess Toro Rosso were not challenging Ferrari for the title. The FIA and all its procedures stinks to high heaven as they do not apply their rules in a fair and uniform way.
