McLaren have put an appeal into the FIA about the decision to give Lewis Hamilton a 25 second penalty. McLaren said Lewis Hamilton was 6 km/h slower across the start/finish line. Here is the statement..
"We looked at all our data and also made
it available to the FIA stewards. It showed that, having lifted, Lewis
was 6km/h slower than Kimi as they crossed the start/finish line.
"Having passed the lead back to Kimi, Lewis repositioned his car,
moving across and behind Kimi to the right-hand line and then outbraked
him into the hairpin. Based on this data, we have no option other than
to register our intention to appeal."
"We are a racing team and now focus on Monza, with a view to
extending our lead in the drivers' world championship,"
