ITV simulcast the race on their website - anyone watches that way - and more importantly, what happens when there is an ad break on ITV1? is there a break on the web transmission?

F1 SPOILER ____________________________
Good ending or what, huh!!

I thought Massa would be the one spinning around, not the Mute Finn
Kimi sure cannot claim to be the best driver out there now even though he is the current WC.
When on equal terms with Lewis, found wanting

So all down to Massa v Hamilton for last 5 races
END SPOILER ________________________

It's his own fault for head-butting Bernie

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 as a result, with BMW Sauber’s Nick Heidfeld moving up to second place.

Hamilton was penalised after stewards decided he had gained an advantage ..

What a load of balls, he immediately gave the place back, so no advantage! Then the only person he could have gained from spun out - F1 is so obviously bent its untrue!
