indeed. hamilton did everything he could at the time to undo what had been gained when he took this avoidance action so as not to hit kimi. perhaps Ferrari would have preferred that he did hit kimi at that point?
anyway, how was Lewis supposed to know at what point any advantage gained had been given back? would a 1 second gap have been enough? 2 seconds? how does a driver know at that moment in the heat of a race what advantage may or may not have been gained and what to do to correct it?
Lewis certainly did everything he could at that moment to give kimi back his position
lets hope the appeal causes the officials to see some sense

i agree M...
And for the person that said he got an advantage, he gave the position back, he was then travelling at 6kph slower than Kimi when they crossed the line, he overtook him at the next corner because he braked later than Kimi (we all know Hamilton is the better driver in the wet, hence he caught Kimi in the first place!)...
fingers crossed the appeal will sort it...

agree with every1 here .. i think Lewis did a splendid job of keeping his nerves and carried the fight all the way to the end. It was a great race to watch. Hard luck for kimi, overtook lewis in the first lap and then never looked back till the skies opened up and then things changed .. only if schumi can teach kimi how to drive in the wet hehe
Lewis still has the chance to win the title and so does massa
it is all going down to the wire

Well,that isn't the point.If lewis didn't cut the corner,he would never have been so close to kimi at the la source.
Stewards gave 25sec penalty which is an equivalent of drive through (since the race was done before the stewards reached a decision).
If anyone remember japan 2005...

Here is a perfect answer from a racing driver :-
Jarno Trulli answers the question.

Quotes from different drivers:-
"There are rules about cutting chicanes and gaining an advantage. I don't have anything (else) to say," World Champion Raikkonen said.
Massa, meanwhile, said Hamilton was "a bit too optimistic" in passing Raikkonen so soon after cutting the Bus Stop chicane.
"It has been made absolutely clear that anyone cutting a chicane has to fully restore the position and also any other eventual advantage gained," Massa said.
"If Lewis had taken the chicane correctly, he would never have been able to pass Kimi on the very short straight that follows it."
Hamilton's former McLaren teammate Fernando Alonso, meanwhile, said the F1 world should accept the stewards' decision.
"In the end, what they say is always fair, whether you like it or not," the Spaniard told Cadena SER radio.
Guys what do you say now? Add Jarno Trulli to this.

Well...
I guess it's a fair decision. If you risk to bend the rules, then you should take the consequences.
If he was a wise guy, he should not have done that "smart" move and let Kimi keep the place 'till the next turn.
Eventually he would win the race too.
Hamilton thought he could get away with that, slowing down just enough to let Raikkonen pass, but then putting his nose stuck to Ferrari's back.
This way he used the Ferrari's slipstream to pass Raikkonen the next turn.
Even if Hamilton would get to the chicane stuck in Raikkonen's @rse, he could never keep that close distance after that turn.
