Well while his tussle was on with Kimi Raikonen in the final laps of the race Louis Hamilton cut a chicane which gave him an advantage over Raikonen. Although he gave the place black to Raikonen by slowing down he overtook him on the same corner thus giving himself an illegal advantage.According to the rules a driver cannot gain an advantage of any kind by taken a different route on the track and Hamilton did that and was penalised with 25 seconds.
