@@aesir1ases64 We can only say that in hindsight because it was never clear until the last moment that the lapped cars between 1st and 2nd were going to be let through. Given the gap Max was only 11 seconds, keeping track position was the right call to make.

Controversy aside how can you not give Max his due here. I know Lewis will whine about unsafe racing as soon as someone is within 30 seconds because he's used to a calm Sunday drive well ahead of the pack, in a rocketship, for years. Max bossed it this season.

Controversy aside , could you stop just bashing Lewis for once ? I know you"re a Max fan for sure , the way you chose your word but it's getting annoying . And it's not because his radio was always on in Live footage that other drivers don't do that . Talking about Rocketship , ReDbull haD the best car 2/3 of the season but i don't see you talking about " Rocketship" for half of the season .

[@suckieduckie]

@@mago97615 I don't know where you get that the RB was better for 2/3rds of the season. It's 50/50 at best, 60/40 for Merc at worst. Go over it track by track and you will see. Bahrein: 50/50 Imola: Hard to say due to rain and Lewis binning it. 50/50 in my book, Portugal: Mercedes Spain: Mercedes Moncao: RB Baku: RB France: 50/50. Strategy made the difference there. Austria: RB Austria: RB Silverstone: 50/50 Hungary: Mercedes Spa: Inconclusive Zandvoort: RB Monza: Mercedes Sochi: Mercedes Turkey: Mercedes COTA: Mercedes (Biggest steal of the season imo) Mexico: RB Interlagos: I'm actually gonna go 50/50 here since Lewis had his rocketship engine and the straight seemed perfect for the dropping suspension of Mercedes. Qatar: Mercedes Saudi Arabia: Mercedes Abu Dhabi: Mercedes. In my book that is 7 RB tracks, 10 Mercedes tracks and 5 50/50 tracks. Now you could argue that in France the RB was quicker or that Monza was a bit more 50/50 this year, but like I said the most you're going to get is that the cars were roughly equal.

there is a sound clip of alonso and all other drivers on youtube. Alonso was indeed laughing after the first call came in where they couldnt unlap. He said verstappen should be infront of him, not behind him.

[@0megalul309]

Vettel said that too.

[@prometheus8073]

It was either they let everyone unlap themselves which meant there would probably be no laps left or just race with those laps left with the cars in between Max and Lewis, not half and half. Max is a deserved champion but Lewis should have won the race. Mercedes calculations were logically right not to pit but they weren't expecting human intervention to interpret rules and give the race win to Max. That last lap wasn't racing, it was merely a show. Things could have been handled better if they wanted a race for the last laps. Glad Mercedes withdrew their appeal. They should rest, recover, and focus on next year.

[@mariusvasile6543]

@@prometheus8073 "Mercedes calculations were logically right not to pit" no they were not, Masi was supposed to let them unlap themselves a lap earlier than he did. Also merc decided at the beggining of SC. Lewis is the driver that won but redbull is the team that won this race.

A lose lose situation for Mercedes. Had they lost track position the race would have more than likely finished under the safety car. So either way the FIA would have had the race to go Max.

[@tonespeaks]

@@Di_ROSSO If the Race Director had followed the rules and the more importantly fairly applied the rules to everyone, Lewis would have won under Safety Car. The rules don't allow the Race Director to use the car at his discretion... that is false. The Race Director can use the Safety Car within the rules, so that racing is fairly applied to everyone. BTW the rules that the Race Director ignored are there for the safety and fairness of everyone. Max is more than a worthy Champion, but Lewis had this race stolen by the Race Director. It will all come out in the Report, the rules are really clear in this area, there is no wiggle room. The Race Director cannot override the rules at his discretion.

Almost broke my laptop out of anger for the unfair irregular never done decision made by Puppet Masi. Still in my heart, It believes that Hamilton is the real champion. 11 seconds lead with 4-5 laps to go was 99.99999% Hamilton win and even Horner said it that they need a miracle/Puppet Masi to win the race. As Gary Lineker said " Imagine Man City and Liverpool going toe to toe for the title. On the las day of the season they meet and City are up 3 goals with just minutes to go. The referee decides it would be more exciting to have a penalty shootout. What's more is that the City players have to be barefooted. That's F1"
