Ferrari’s Felipe Massa has been
declared the winner of Sunday’s Belgian Grand Prix
after McLaren’ Lewis Hamilton was
handed a 25-second time penalty following the race.
Hamilton drops to third place as
a result, with BMW Sauber’s Nick Heidfeld moving up
to second.
Hamilton was penalised after stewards
decided he had gained an advantage by cutting
the final chicane in his late-race
battle with Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen. McLaren plan to
appeal the decision.

Pre
race comment
Lewis
Hamilton - “As
you can see, reliability is the key and finishing and scoring points has
got to be the goal for everyone. I'm not worried about the reliability
of my car, as you can tell. The past year and a half we've had phenomenal
reliability, and that's obviously due to the whole package that the whole
team has put together and the engine's great,
the
car is great.”
Felipe
Massa - “Well,
reliability is part of the consistency, so if you have a single problem,
you're not consistent, so the consistency is still the key for the championship.
Consistency means the performance, the reliability and also the drivers,
so I think all these things are very important to the end of the season.”
Jarno
Trulli - “I am definitely optimistic because the team is pushing
very hard. Our recent results show how much stronger we are getting and
it is nice to race with a competitive car every weekend. Toyota is
doing a very good job this year and looking stronger and more competitive
at every circuit. We are still pushing ahead with the development
work so I'm confident that we can maintain the form in the coming races
and keep the points coming. I will do two test days at Monza, which in
terms of set-up is a bit of a one-off race with very
low
downforce. After that we go to Spa, which is my favourite circuit.
It's always a good feeling to be heading there!”
Nico
Rosberg - “The important thing for the team at the moment is that
we’ve identified where improvements can be made with the FW30 and are making
the necessary adjustments to take us into the final few races. The work
everyone at the factory is putting in should help us out in Spa. We’re
not going to make a huge jump, but we’ll definitely be heading in the right
direction. I’m really looking forward to the Belgian Grand Prix because
Spa is an amazing race track. We had a great race at Spa last year.
I finished sixth, which was one of my best results of the season.
It will be difficult to score points there [this year], but you can never
predict what will happen somewhere like Spa, so we’ll have to wait and
see.”
Kazuki
Nakajima - “It’s going to be the first time I’ve driven a Formula
1 car around Spa, so my first priority will be to learn the circuit and
to find out how the car behaves on this track. I have, of course,
driven Spa while racing in GP2 so know what a great racing track it is.
In fact,it’s probably one of the greatest tracks on the calendar so I’m
really looking forward to taking my FW30 out and doing that first lap!”
Timo
Glock - "I am going to Belgium with a lot of confidence because
our performance in the last few races has been very impressive and we have
proved we can fight at the front. Personally it is very satisfying
to have scored points in the last two races despite feeling unwell both
times and I really believe we have made a lot of progress. It's really
good for the team to be scoring points regularly and challenging forthe
podium. We hope we will be strong again in Spa but we will seehow it goes
with the harder compound Bridgestone tyres, I am confident we can
finish in the points again"
Rubens
Barichello - "Our test in Monza last week was positive and we expect
to have resolved the braking problems which affected my weekend in Valencia."
