Disappointed - Hamilton
The international court of appeal has ruled against McLaren and Lewis Hamilton and has confirmed the penalty that was imposed on the Briton after allegedly cutting the busstop chicane at Spa Francorchamps 2 weeks ago. He thereby was deemed to have an unfair advantage which cost him victory. Hamilton reacted in a statement:
"People will probably expect me to be depressed about today's result, but that isn't me. All I want to do now is put this matter behind me and get on with what we drivers do best: racing each other.
"We're racers, we're naturally competitive, and we love to overtake. Overtaking is difficult, and it feels great when you manage to pull off a great passing manoeuvre. If it pleases the spectators and TV viewers, it's better still. So I'm disappointed, yes, but not depressed."
