Exactly, even Alonso knows the unlapping was done too late, to get a real race lap in.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Fair comment.
Dude, come'on... Dont be like this..
Thar radio from Alonso doesn’t in any way shape or form indicate he agreed with only letting part of the field go through.Also
There was clearly time to do it sooner and that was the only thing they did wrong that they didn't do it sooner. But in any case we will got that final lap and it was always going to happen and the result would be the same.
Also no one mentioned that 5 cars that were let go by were cars fighting for the points (ended from 7 to 11) and blue flagging them (like they did with Stroll) for whole lap would have affect on their finish and points tally., Every other car that wasn't allowed to unlap was from 12 and lower.
They have to get confirmation I guess that the track is clear of debris and stewards to let them pass
Why do you keep quoting me? I'm not interested in your transparent wumming.
Ignore him is probably the best thing you could do, he's is struggling to come to terms with max being world champion.
A quick google finds plenty of articles saying exactly the same things I have about their relative pace, from people who have actually bothered to look at the data.

Are they all wumming as well? Would it hurt you to try to educate yourself a bit about a sport you seem heavily invested in, rather than play a fool all the time?
OK, I'm sorry, I was being snarky. Apologies. Xx
There was just alot to catchup on in this thread after a long day at work!

I just dislike cheating. Is that so bad?
Same reason I dislike Manchester City.
No worries.. We can all get like that.
Definitely. My honest opinion without any trolling is the best described in the video bellow.
Basically they botched it and should have taken decision earlier but presure of the last race and presure from Toto and Horner in a crucial moments created perfect storm. Because of that Masi reacted to slow and created controversy which never should be created.
But if the right decision would be called at the right time the final result would be the same. But on the other hand it was wrong decision even if they can justify it within the rule book and I can understand the frustration from Mercedes, Hamilton and fans, just not the ones who call it fixing, and that Max was given championship.
If Masi stays or leaves they definitely have to change to one line from race director to teams only and have to cut off FIA radio for the fans. This was second mistake in last 2 races which evolved from team boss calling race director on the radio.
And I think I am done with 2021 thread with this post.
Pauldy, You are to blame, having started the threadIts not all been bad, there has been some good in it.
Full team radios during the safety car period.
So tedious. Can you change your privacy settings so I can put you and your wumming on ignore please?
@Rado_N can tell you how to do it anyway
I'd tell you how to, but apparently giving you simple clear information is wumming, and I don't want to upset you.
If they botched it, then they botched it. You can't break the rules live on TV to unbotch it. That's even worse than botching it.
And I don't even think it was botched. It was unsafe to release the lapped cars any earlier than he did. The right outcome would be to end the race on the safety car. If that was bad TV, ok fine, he also had the option of 1 lap of racing without unlapping the cars, it would have created no controversy as per the rules. He also had the option to red flag and restart.
So many...options.
Well, at least it's not the 2019 or 2020 thread with probably 3 posts in it cause Hamilton's car was too OP'd
I don’t really understand how it works besides whoever gets the most points wins.
last time I remember hearing about it Hamilton had points deducted and was more or less out of it? But granted that was from someone who also doesn’t understand it much.
What happened today? I’ve seen tweets and read but it might as well be a foreign language. We’re they driving behind safety drivers and then the message to drive fast and race wasn’t given to some racers including Hamilton or their was a delay?
We got what we deserved after those yearsWell, at least it's not the 2019 or 2020 thread with probably 3 posts in it cause Hamilton's car was too OP'd
Verstappen had pitted for fresh tyres behind the safety car but Hamilton couldn't because he would have dropped behind Verstappen and there was no guarantee at that point of any more racing, so to do so would have handed the title to Verstappen. The race director then ignored the regulations because he didn't want the race to finish behind the safety car. He allowed only the lapped cars between Hamilton and Verstappen to un-lap themselves, which resulted in Verstappen sitting right behind Hamilton on far better tyres and leaving Hamilton effectively a sitting duck. If they'd stuck to the regulations, either all of the lapped cars would have been let through which would have taken more time and the race would have ended behind the safety car resulting in Hamilton winning, or they wouldn't have let any of the lapped cars through which would have meant 5 cars between Hamilton and Verstappen which would have given Hamilton at least some chance of holding Verstappen off. The issue is that the race director ignored the regulations and made a decision that has zero precedent in 70+ years of F1 which effectively handed the title to one of the drivers.
Everyone saw what happened. Red Bull and Verstappen have their title, and they'll get to keep it, but it will remain a tainted title for the rest of your days Marko.
Infantile WUM as always, fortunately I have the answer now, so I don't have to deal with your nonsense trolling anymore.I'd tell you how to, but apparently giving you simple clear information is wumming, and I don't want to upset you.
All the best at nursery!
Thanks both, you've made F1 threads much more enjoyable going forward.
Doubt if they will see it as 'tainted'. The mantra within RB has always been the 'we do whatever it takes to win' or the 'means justify the ends' approach.
So they may see that all that pressuring on Masi till Masi's brain broke as 'justifiable'.
To be honest I don't care too much. People working inside Red Bull are long gone anyway. I'm talking about how it will be remembered in motorsport folklore and RB and this generation of 1 season fans will have no bearing on that.
For all the stick Horner gets, Marko is a million miles more detestable if you ask me.
That camera behind a mirror
I think you mean “the ends justify the means”.
Thanks for the explanation… I’ll probably never fully understand how badly Hamilton got screwed compared to those that follow F1 but even to me it does sound bad.
