Over 33.000 F1 fans sign Hamilton petition

Over 33.000 Formula One fans have already signed an online petition which urges the FIA to reconsider the penalty that was given to Lewis Hamilton at the Belgian Grand Prix on Sunday. Because of the penalty, Hamilton lost his victory at Spa-Francorchamps and he sees Felipe Massa approaching to only 2 points in the championship standings.

The petition, addressed to the FIA, states: "We, the undersigned, insist that the FIA reconsider the decision made to add 25 seconds to the finishing time of Lewis Hamilton (McLaren-Mercedes) in the Formula 1 Belgium Grand-Prix (07th September 2008).

"We believe the decision that has been made to be wrong and strongly urge you to revert back to the original final classifications. The rules state that Lewis Hamilton had to give position back to Kimi Raikkonen, which he did. He then freely, and through driving skill alone got position one back."
