What happened with max in brazil last year?

[@iiTsFaded_]

@@shaikh.sulaimso basically, Checo and max swapped places on the last lap and the deal was if max couldn’t catch the car in front before the last few turns, which I believe it was Alonso, he’d let Checo back through. But, Max ignored the orders and crossed the line, and that basically prevented Checo from getting P2 in the driver’s championship that year. Rumors had spread that it was Checo who intentionally spun in Monaco qualifying earlier in the year to prevent max from getting pole, so that was Max getting back at Checo in a way.

Maeenn....totally agree. imagine over that last lap, he yelled at the radio..This is being manipulated maenn!!!!......so imagine the emotion inside after losing like that, then to calm down regardless and still stand tall even when Im sure he felt like just getting out of the car and probably walking off....Thats hard grit..I give it to him, not easy to do that especially with the adrenaline, the immense emotion and even anger.....But for any fan especially the impartial ones; considering he had dominated it so much over the years, regardless this was probably the most exciting finish in years...and for Max to emerge as the new champion was almost a relief.....it kind of signified what it took to get Hamilton off his perch, you had to go past your comfort zone, duel with luck, and even then still it didnt seem enough, Max still had to exploit the opportunity when it presented itself. Fair play to both guys but what a finale!!!!!!

Don‘t mix Max‘s performance with what happened in that race, he is maybe the most talented driver ever (definitely one of the most talented ever) but the win in Abu Dhabi was handed to him because according to F1 rules, you have to let all lapped cars pass or let no lapped cars pass, you can‘t deliberately chose and say we are going to let some lapped cars pass and others don‘t, thats simply not fair to the other drivers as well. Masi broke the rules to artificially create a racing ending which should have been exciting but what excitement is there when one car is on 40laps old hard tires and the other one is on fresh soft? Even the Alpha Tauri would have overtaken Lewis in that case. Also Mercedes could have pitted but how should they know that Masi would break the rules and let only the lapped cars between RB and Merc pass, because if everything went according to the rules, the race would have ended under the safety car and then Mercedes would have lost track position so considering everything goes by the rules it would have been very stupid to pit. Masi broke two rules that day (Which the FIA also admitted to btw.) and that handed Max and easy win.
