Yaaas Broncos!
Stop trying to ruin my funThat was not Masi’s decision. That’s the stewards decision. But this safety car decision is Masi.

Yeah I just realised they did that. Its crazyI don't understand why they didn't let them all through though, that's what the rules are? It was very strange.
AgreedIt's been long clear that they have no shame.
destroyedDelighted. Verstappen destroyed hamilton. Best way to win. Hehehehehe
Only 5 lapped cars were let through (not all the lapped cars) and usually you let them get round the track to the back of the pack before the race restarts. Instead, the race director just let 5 cars through, precisely the number between Lewis and Verstappen, and then restarted the race.Can somebody explain in layman’s terms what the furore is?
Yeah, if soap opera racing is what they wantedDeserved title. He’s done it with a worse car on the final lap of the year, can’t get more epic than that.
It's quite simple really...Can somebody explain in layman’s terms what the furore is?
I would not even stand there.Looking forward to seeing Hamilton spray max with champagne and max and the red bull fans congratulating Hamilton on such an amazing achievement
Karma for Brazil 2008?Yep, has every right to be furious.
Screwed over by FIA.
To let them race.Joke of a finish.
Out of interest why wasn't every car that was lapped not required to go passed the safety car, but only the ones between Max and Hamilton?
No its certainly not normalI haven't watched F1 much, but that's the first time I've ever seen 5 cars unlapping. Is that a normal occurrence ?
Stay tuned, Americans run the sport now.What a race. They should change F1 to be scripted like WWE to keep it exciting. First race I watched in a decade
Lewis had won the race until the FIA set it up so that Max was on fresh tires for one last lap right behind Lewis... Any racing driver in any formula could have won that from Max's position.Can somebody explain in layman’s terms what the furore is?
FIA got what they wanted. It's pretty unreal to be honest.Only some cars unlapped themselves under SC? How is that legal?
Perfect, thanks!Only 5 lapped cars were let through (not all the lapped cars) and usually you let them get round the track to the back of the pack before the race restarts. Instead, the race director just let 5 cars through, precisely the number between Lewis and Verstappen, and then restarted the race.
I don't think they made the right decision though. They made the decision that would allow that last lap showdown to happen.I mean, in the end they made the right decision. Why they originally announced that lapped cars won't be allowed to overtake is anyone's guess.
Stop trying to ruin my fun![]()
My heart sank seeing that at the end, Hamilton just sitting in his car. Definitely this shouldn't have ended like this.No need to mate.
Not bothered Max has won, just the way it was decided at the end was a farce.
Doesn't look like it did.Would benefit Lewis though no?
TBF Max was fecked over in Baku, Silverstone and Hungaroring so yeah luck turned around in the last lap but what goes around comes around.You mean fecked over
No, they've made terrible strategic decisions all season and were bailed out by Lewis being the best driver on the grid.His team made poor decisions not pitting him but that ending made any decision pointless. Mercedes were screwed there with very poor decision making. To have a final lap with those behind not being able to overtake would have been the fairer choice. To allow them to move aside, placing Lewis and Max (with fresh tyres) besides eachother was grossly unfair.
The better driver over the season won the title though imho.I couldn't care less who wins, I watch for the racing. But the better driver lost today.
It was purely the crash that did it. If Hamilton went on softs and lost race position and there had been no crash, he’d still have lost. Unless everyone knew there’d be a crash on the 52nd lap beforehand. Mercedes’ strategy was perfect if there’d been no crash.don’t be ridiculous. RB played a blinder. Not their fault the decisions played in their favour. Merc are the ones who should be embarrassed. They fecked it for Hamilton.
He was just fecking gifted the WDC though.TBF Max was fecked over in Baku, Silverstone and Hungaroring so yeah luck turned around in the last lap but what goes around comes around.
Should have reacted to the pits though in hindsightThere was no way Mercedes would have foreseen the crash.
Yeah, I think they thought it would be great to have the season long marathon finally get decided on a sprint, flexing on a few rulesDid the FIA just force the last lap to become competitive? Why was Verstappen suddenly behind Hamilton?
FIA won them this Championship. Been in Red Bulls pocket all season how could Lewis compete against that?
Really? Merc has got so many bullshit decisions that helped them this season as well.FIA won them this Championship. Been in Red Bulls pocket all season how could Lewis compete against that?
Well done Verstappen. Great driver no end of talent but this Championship will always have an asterisks on it.
He won't be reactionary but nobody deserves to lose like that.If I'm Hamilton I'm retiring tomorrow.
