The Complete 2008 Belgian GP Review
A thorough review of all the events and results from round 13 of the season
It should be remembered as one of the most thrilling (and slightly surreal) finishes in Formula One history, but instead the 2008 Belgian Grand Prix ended in post-race controversy after the stewards' decision to penalise on-the-road victor Lewis Hamilton and effectively hand the win to his title rival Felipe Massa.
McLaren's intention to appeal could yet result in a further change, but for the time being at least, the race victory belongs to Massa, who has consequently closed to within two points of Hamilton in the standings.
