10 second penalty for almost kiling Max. He made that up in like four lapsLewis received a penalty for that?
What more do you want?
I agree, they shouldn't be compared or used to justify separate incidents. I was just pointing out how its never mentioned because those decisions went the way of Hamilton.
Remind me of the penatly Max got for driving over Lewis' head?10 second penalty for almost kiling Max. He made that up in like four laps

completely forgot about that incidentAnd as hellhunter said, Max would've killed Lewis had the Halo not been there.10 second penalty for almost kiling Max. He made that up in like four laps

It shouldn't be imo, they were decisions within the legal framework. I bet Lewis fans would find the defeat much easier to digest if he had lost to a penalty, because that's within the discretionary power of the stewards. You can argue about it, even disagree with it, but no rules were violated if that should've happened.10 second penalty for almost kiling Max. He made that up in like four laps

It'll just spill over to the 2022 thread. People aren't done talking about it and to be fair, it's only been a couple of days.
It's nothing to do with luck. The result was manipulated in the final race, in a unprecedented way, to decide a championship.
If by rest of the world you mean the Netherlands yes, otherwise no.
You need to step back for a minute and look at this differently. Imagine it was 2 drivers and teams you had no feelings for, not LH or MV. As a racing fan would you want that to happen and be allowed to happen every season?
Sure you take the good luck, but you can still admit he was completely shafted. We've got max fans in here trying to defend it saying it was the right thing to do.And you'd be the same if it were the other way around tbh. Like Lewis fans would care
And the FIA did already try to assist Lewis many times including the beginning of the race to make it more exciting. As expected, incidents like Silverstone are never mentioned by Lewis fans.
But Max only finally got some luck in that last race hey?
Max winning the title was a far more popular outcome everywhere except England.
based on...... ?
I'm sure the likelihood of a fair judgement from the FIA court played into it heavily. And Lewis will have probably agreed there's no point taking it to a biased court only to lose.
Social media. Press coverage anywhere other than the UK.

Actually no.. The FIA themselves have issued a statement saying the fan meltdown is tarnishing the image of the sport.
Which is a line you've just made up.
Yes. That doesn't mean I like to see 2 laps of SC. Can't even imagine what it was like for the fans at the track. Wtf is your point mate.
Its says the 'misunderstanding and reactions of the ... and fans is tarnishing the image of the championship.'
I was listening to an article about the finances of major sports. And that said that the biggest market for F1 was actually the US. And in fact, that market is so big and growing their it is highly likely that there will be 3 GPs there before the end of the decade. With Miami being the 2nd.
Why don't you just copy it faithfully?
The misunderstandings and reactions of the media, drivers and fans is tarnishing the image of the championship?
So what. This is still one of the most popular threads judging by the high number of posts.
It doesn't say 'only Lewis fans' either. Make of it what you will, that statement is negative, regardless of what wierd narrative you're trying to drive.
...... The decisions in those last laps were heavily scrutinised and controversial but the end result is globally popular. Is that driving a 'weird narrative' or just stating the bleeding obvious?
That isn’t true at all. The vast majority of this thread are unanimous in the view that screwing Hamilton was merely a byproduct of them breaking their own rules to create a last lap spectacle - they weren’t biased either way - they just wanted a show.
I think we're past the point of caring who is the champion. I certainly am.
Oh I knew this would be a problem. I've merely tried to put myself in his shoes and I feel torn.
You're incredible. In two posts you say Spa was a farce and that Max finally got some luck in Abu Dhabi. I would also take a look at this:
Who can blame him, he was shafted big time, hopefully he will stay and have extra fire in his belly.
I never said Lewis nearly killed Max, so I'm going to ignore this.
Yield or die seems to be his motto. Pretty mental to be honest.
Appologies, there are people saying that and I didn't check to make sure I was misattributing it. However, chosing to ignore the entire post because of this feels like a pretty cheap get out. My post attempts to highlight the dishonestly of your "Max was unlucky this season" by pointing out the variety of ways in which Max has been very fortunate. If you don't want to address it, that's fine.
I'm not going to dissect the entire season right now, but even in the last race Lewis got lucky cutting like 400m and not having to give position back. Martin Brundle said surely he has to give it back, but Lewis was allowed to keep going. Everytime something similar happened with Max this season, he had to give position back.
I think he'll try and do when fergie did in 2012. One more year and go out in a blaze of glory.
OK, you want to make sweeping statements about how Max was unlucky all season, but not to actually look back at the season and justify your position. Got it. Not dishonest at all. Also just to note: in the video above Max was unpunished for Spain, Imola and Brazil, so your statement is 100% demonstrably false.
