Lewis Hamilton was given a twenty five second penalty for cutting a chicane when involved in a passing move with Kimi Raikkonen. This would see him lose his victory in the Belgian Grand Prix.

As a result of this Hamilton would drop to third in the race results while Felipe Massa, second in the race, was now given the race win.

Also Toyota's Timo Glock was given a 25-second penalty after the stewards ruled he had overtaken under yellow. It was viewed that Glock had passed Red Bull's Mark Webber for eighth place in the dying moments of the race, in an area where there were yellow flags following Kimi Raikkonen's crash. This would see Glock lose his eighth place finish and this would go to Webber.

The revised race results are below.
