Max Verstappens mad F1 World Drivers championship celebration

[@scottmeredith3359]

Can't believe I'm having to enjoy the celebrations for Max 2 days later on a photographer's KZbin site. Max's WDC crowning was horribly anticlimactic and disappointing, thanks for giving us something to celebrate Kym!

[@mamavswild]

All the dumbfounded confusion; Max deserved better than that after such a dominant season. It would have been all fixed if the FIA had announced to the teams that full points would be awarded if the race resumed following a red flag for weather IMMEDIATELY upon resumption of the race.

[@KymIllman]

Hear hear

[@jeffsteyn7174]

Well considering the cheating by redbull. The anticlimactic end was very appropriate.

[@mamavswild]

@@jeffsteyn7174 Cheating?! That’s ridiculous. You clearly have never liked them from far before their ‘minor’ overspend…that or you have no cause to like ANY team…but something tells me you do, hence your venom towards RedBull. And besides, absolutely none of it…at any time…was the fault of the driver.

There was a dedicated area for people with long lenses cameras called the "Camera man area ticket" starting from ￥40,000~￥70,000+($275～$500). The price differs by the number of areas you can access.

[@mamavswild]

Poor Max can’t just have a normal WDC without dumbfounded confusion 😂 The regulations should have been announced by the FIA that upon a full resumption, full points would be awarded and that should have been announced IMMEDIATELY upon the safety car taking the track and the cars following it back following the red flag. The commentators and the teams had no idea until the end that full points would be awarded as long as a red flagged race resumed. With such a dominant, graceful season, Max deserved better.

[@KymIllman]

Really crazy stuff

[@tiadaid]

The FIA assumes every team member read the rule book from cover to cover.

Thought you were joking when you said Gasly got 2 points off his license until the end when talking about Logan Sargeant. Does it work the same as a road license where if you get so many points off and you lose it ? Have any drivers ever lost their super license ?

[@ez_jordan9194]

He don't kuse super license points. Other type of points (forgot name and how many points can you loose). It works quite like the normal road penalty points. If a driver goes over the limit he can't start next race

King and Prince is a famous J-Pop idol group, and they are also Honda's ambassador, so that's why they are there (actually they have a CM with the Honda F1 engine team a month ago). But be careful, their management company is quite famous for copyright restriction, and not allow other people selling images without their permission (that's also why many people bought their images from you, as difficult to bought their images, besides their official website). Also, Japan is kind of still slowly loosen the COVID restriction, I think that's also why you don't see lots of celebrities on the track side during the race day.

[@the_mike_honcho]

It was uneventful because, the FIA jumped in after the race and manipulated the results in Max’s favor…again. Full points for a sprint race? 5 seconds penalty to LeClerc? Tractor on track? FIA’s a joke. Now it’s confirmed that RB exceeded the cost cap in 2021. RB and FIA just can’t seem to let Max win races on his own. Max would most likely have won the WDC in Austin regardless, why manipulate the results? Because, they had a throne ready and didn’t want it to go to waste. It’s a sport, not reality TV, FIA needs to follow the rules and stop fixing results to match their storyline.
