I can’t believe this. Paddy just IM’d me and asked if I’d seen the news. Lewis has been given a 25 second penalty for something he hadn’t done wrong.

He was leading into the corner (just), Kimi nearly ran him off the road so he cut the corner. Out of the corner he slowed down, let Kimi overtake him, then down the straight he overtook Kimi again. So where was the offence?

Now he lost the win at Spa, went down to third, and lost points in the Championship. McLaren is right to appeal. Lewis, you did nothing wrong.
