Bring back gravel and grass at the chicanes and get rid of the tarmac run off areas and then we will not have this problem in the future.
I think that Felipe Massa sums up the incident unpartially
"Immediately after the podium ceremony, we knew the incident was under investigation and my first reaction was to find out what had actually happened, as I didn't see it when I was on the track," he commented.
"What Lewis did is the sort of thing that can happen, but I think he was maybe a bit too optimistic in thinking he could just hand back the position, albeit only partially, to Kimi and then immediately try and pass him again.
"Incidents like this have often been discussed in the official driver briefings, when it has been made absolutely clear that anyone cutting a chicane has to fully restore the position and also any other eventual advantage gained. If Lewis had taken the chicane correctly, he would never have been able to pass Kimi on the very short straight that follows it. That was my immediate opinion after seeing the replay.
"Maybe if he had waited and tried to pass on the next straight, that would have been a different matter."
The Brazilian also showed some empathy for his team-mate, despite the championship standings potentially favouring him in Ferrari's eyes.
"While I am pleased to have won, I have to feel sorry for Kimi too," Massa said, "I know what it is like to be leading a race and then losing it with a few laps to go. He was in a different situation to me when the rain came, as he was fighting for the win, so it is very frustrating for him, especially after he drove a great race."
Even though Lewis was well in the lead after this incident he was still driving fast and nearly came off driving up in the Raidillon Kemmel Straight area nearly came off and hit the wall I think.
