And Hamilton won. The lead changed about 3 times in the last 4 laps with the rain coming down and then Raikkonen spun off and into the wall.

Brilliant. F1 at its very best. It's makes it so good with a little rain

Both Raikkonen and Hamilton are being investigated by race stewards for the legality of their passing manoeuvres. Final race positions to be confirmed.

For those who are interested Lewis Hamilton has been stripped of the win..

He has been demoted to third place behind Ferrari's Felipe Massa and BMW Sauber's Nick Heidfeld.

The race stewards seem to have it in for Mclaren & Lewis & seem to kiss ferrari arse. Didn't ferrari get let off for an incident in the Pit Lane in the last race?

That is a quite appalling decision by the race stewards. Goes totally against the spirit of sport.

I'm just an average race fan and even I can see what happened:
Hamilton goes off the course and takes advantage when he resumes the course in the lead.
Hamilton slows down and lets Raikkonen retake the lead.
Hamilton speeds up and overtakes Raikkonen on the next turn.

How has he taken an 'unfair advantage'?

Maybe Teme was one of the race stewards. After all, he did a similar thing in the Randomness thread and MIG took an unfair advantage. First that and now this eh. Both of them similar decisions by a supposedly impartial steward.

It was the only interesting F1 race in this season for me (I stopped watching F1 a few seasons back).

Obviously officials want us to watch races were positions are changed only in pit stops.

Too bad for Hamilton. He showed superb driving skills today.
