Because you made comments where you clearly didn't read my post.
Either way, let's keep this to f1, not these petty comments.
WOW I hope next season thread is not so toxic, but I think it could be.
All makes for good reading on the whole.

Max has 18 top 2 finishes this year, the most by any driver in F1 history. "Undeserved champion" according to some.
The way the season ended doesn't sit right with me, but selective memory on here is hilarious. Baku, Hungary and Silverstone. This WDC should've been sewn up a while ago.

The incident that caused it all, that prevented Lewis from winning an eighth world championship...just had to involve Michael Schumacher's son too. 
Exactly, sainz could have had a chance of doing both and finishing first while Lewis and max blocked each other, but he had 4 cars in his way. It was an utter farce, I still can’t believe it
But no one knows how the rest of it would have went after it. For example what the decisions would have been under the virtual safety car.
The FIA will admit error, give them Massi’s head on a stick - everyone will know it’s a tainted win but it won’t be overturned.
Most likely outcome, agreed
My bet too.
I read all of your posts, but yes, lets.
I hate to agree with you, because I dislike Red Bull with a passion, but you right.
I wonder what went through Hamilton's mind there. Suddenly Max is right behind you on fresh tires. Felt like a wounded prey being hunted by the predator.
Settling this race and Championship at CAS will be so fitting for this season.
99% certain this is how it will play out.
Yep, I think this is what’ll happen too.
It is arguable if you look at this race only. Over the course of the season is a different story.

Lets be honest the race director fecked up big time, but it must stand or F1 will be turned into a laughing stock.
It might have been exciting for the causal odd race watching but for the fans it was a disgrace.
I wanted Lewis to win, but there is no way I want him winning by appeal.
I have read posts saying he will walk away from F1, I say not a chance , he will be back next season wanting his title back and fighting for it.
Worth pointing out that Mazepin managed to finish 21st in the championship in a sport with 20 cars.
Impressive.
Impressive.
A bit surprised why overturning the race, applying the proper rules, would be seen as more of a farce than having the result stand with completely made up rules.
What a stat
In fairness, think Russell did that a couple of years back. But still, a fitting placement for that prick.
You make a good valid point
Max's tyres were always getting shot, and that incident wasn't cut and dried as to what happened. The stewards think he forced that situation, not sure I agree with that, but he still had to pit when he pitted. Nothing changed as a result of that in terms of tyres/strategy.
The last decision was a complete omni shambles and changing of the rules. Not an interpretation, a change to suit the TV and get a "final lap showdown'".
Now we can talk about right and wrong in both, no problem, but there's no way they are even remotely close to the same thing.
Nobody is saying Max wouldn't have been a worthy winner if he won this race on merit, then fair play.
Nobody can say that ending wasn't shambolic. The whole race was abandoned and settled on 1 lap
Because the gap between the first 3 and everybody else was massive which basically gives him a free pit stop as he'll still come out in the same position and lost out on 5-10 seconds to Lewis instead of the 25 seconds he would have in a normal pitstop.
Hamilton fans not taking it as well as their driver.
FYI, the first race I attended was the 1984 Dutch Grand Prix won by Alain Prost.
I agree entirely. But won’t be what happens, sadly.
Finished behind a one-armed man who had a go in an Alfa for a couple of races, no less.
Would absolutely love the replies from Max fans if the result was overturned. Sadly it won't happen.

That's an amazing stat, I laughed out loud reading it.
It’s already a farce - at least this would be a farce ending up with the correct race winner based on today’s race. Either way it’s going to CAS.
Penny for Latifi’s thoughts?
Poor guy won’t sleep well tonight.

That's not what I asked exactly but someone else got what I meant and replied. Thanks.
Whatever they are I could never unhear how much he sounds like kermit the frog on team radio.
