i did not miss it
nor did i ever say ferrari is faster around the bends
ferrari is always faster than McLaren on the straights
stewards would not be able to make an instant righteous judgement on the spot because they may not be viewing the telemetry at that specific moment
telemetry is something that requires review and replay with the things occurring on the track
when will LH fans realize that LH does make wrong decisions sometimes too

If that was the case stewards would not have radioed the ok to McClaren, this track with rain and no traction control shows a drivers skill and Hamilton bested them on Sunday, he makes his share of mistakes save for a couple of key ones he would be defending world champ but this was not one of them, how about credit where it's due.

yeah maybe the stewards should not have told McLaren the "okay"
i dont think the last couple of laps were really driver skill oriented
McLaren is known to have a better chasis for driving in the rain on hard tires while Ferrari is known for having greater straight-line speed and great endurance on soft tires
each car has its own characteristics and at this moment, F1 is still at least 65% car oriented IMO
also Kimi crashed because Rosberg (i think) was in front and didnt get out of the way for Kimi so kimi had to suddenly brake thus locking up so couldnt brake fast enough, leading him to swerve to the right where even less traction is to be found
Kimi had the fastest lap at Spa
he also led most of the race starting from 4th
strategy didnt play a huge role either
it was mostly the car and the driver
so if it is driver skill and rightful holder of the credit, it is Kimi
also Trulli for a crazy fast start (except he never recovered after his spin out)
