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.
Massa had a strong weekend - topping Friday practice by a comfortable margin, taking second on the grid with a relatively heavy fuel load, and driving a solid race that looked set to result in third place.
