Michael Massi has the worst job in the motorsport world. Any decision he makes will be questioned. But I don't think anybody wants to take his job though.Brilliant isn't it
Lewis was able to repair his car under red flag at Silverstone, Max gets tyres under this one.
Makes the race nice and interesting.

RB gamble paid off
Exactly as they say the red flag rules have benefitted Lewis before
Hope we get a standing start for an exciting restart, no Bottas buffer this time...

idiotic decision and rule in itself
fixed.
I wouldn’t want his job, but he doesn’t actually exude any sort of authority does he, bit of a wet lettuce.
Yeah at least this evens out the red flag Hamilton benefitted from earlier in the season
I don't share your hope, but it's certainly Max's to lose now.
Whoever benefits from the top two surely you can still realise this isn’t right and fecks over so many drivers
It is indeed a total farce.
I mean honestly. Why not red flag sooner instead of turning the whole race on its head.
Yeah let's not repair the wall and let some poor driver lose his life a couple of laps later. Idiotic post.
Chances of Bottas ploughing straight into the back of Max at the restart ?
Can't they fix it by just forcing the grid to stay the same from the start of the safety car? So all can pit, but afterwards everyone goes back to the same position or something.
I honestly don't get these type of races... Monaco also.
Sure, no room for error, so you've gotta be at it for the full race.
Any crash can massively change the outcome of a race through not fault of the front runners

They should just ban tyre changes on Red Flags. Makes this whole situation go away.
Lewis needs to keep his cool, Bottas has actually turned up today so they need to tag team Max.
They could but removing another element of strategy and gambling won't make the sport more enjoyable.
Thank you for confirming my point.Poor bottas. He did a cracking job this time and still Max jumps him
Surely it’s a standing start?!
Being a referee in any sport is extremely difficult. However Masi does an exceptionally bad job. Pretty plain to see F1 is hiding it's shenanigans behind his "incompetence".
Is this a flying start or from grid?
Id laugh at that to be fair, could be why the merc strategist was coming down to speak to lewis instead of over headset
Can’t see any reason why it wouldn’t be standing?
How about ban fixing cars on a red flag as well, it’s nothing new under red flags

Think they will do a flying start with SC, won't risk another melee.
think again before calling someone idiotic. i am not against the red flag in itself but going yellow before and deciding the champiobship by then going red is a very bad call. ver shouldnt be allowed to change his tyres at the least
Has to be a standing start, no reason for it not to be.
it’s not an easy job but he has a habit of making the completely wrong decisions
Yeah but that benefited Hamilton so thats ok
They absolutely should ban tyre changes/car repairs under red flags, but they couldn’t do it mid season. As many have pointed out, Lewis benefited massively from the same thing earlier in the season..
It didn’t feel right then and it doesn’t feel right now

Nobody is saying that, just that it should have been red flagged straight away.
Hooray for you that it's handed the win to Max, but looking at it coldly it's been handled badly, and loads of drivers have been screwed by it.
I assume it'll be a grid start, so even though it's advantage Max, anything could happen down to the first corner
as you say it is what it is but i see no reason for it to continue unless the weather changes
He shouldn't be allowed because you say so? You realize the rule allows repairs and changes right? And of course the first action will be SC because the car wasn't blocking the track. Then it was realized the wall can't be repaired from the outside.
Still not confirmed if standing?
Just go in from work.
Has the red flag handed Max this race ?

Hopefully we get robots that can see damage instantly for next season. That would save all this mess
Yep.
really hope ham makes it. red bull is such a shithouse company and mateschitz a top right wing idiot who supports anti vaccine policies through his tv station.
