Raikkonen escapes shortcut penalty

Kimi Raikkonen has escaped a potential corner-cutting penalty following Belgian Grand Prix qualifying. The stewards were investigating whether the Lotus driver had gained an advantage by going beyond the track limits at Eau Rouge in Q3, but ruled he had not. "Although car #9 left the track at Turns 3 and 4 (not only on this lap but also on another lap in Q3) a detailed examination of telemetry and sector times clearly indicate there was no advantage gained because the exit speed was shown to be slower than on other laps where the car did not leave the track," said a statement from the officials
