Yep. The FIA will not overule their own decision.
F1 2021 Season

Both are levels above in these cars. Will be very interesting to see how next season goes with new regs. Hopefully that prat Masi is out too.
Just put him on ignore, he's been on a wind up all year in this thread, he's rabidly anti Hamilton and is easily the most childish person in the thread.
You'll feel much better just ignoring him, you won't get any sensible discussion.
Uttertly embarrassing. People should be held accountable for such ridiculous accusations.
yep. that’s the point for me. it’s how it’s been contrived to get max a chance regardless of the rules.
Why would it?
It feels like they've taken a stance this season to let as much play out on the track as possible because it appeals to fans.
The trouble with that is it can benefit some drivers over others. If you have rules, stick to them, everyone knows where they stand.
What racism is that?
Totally agree with all that, it’s not fixed for a particular team, just fixed for the drama. To create headlines, to get the quick views, to sell their docu series.
There’s always been drama but I just find it a shame it’s gone this way so blatantly. That ending was ridiculous today no matter who you’re a fan of. It wasn’t even racing, it was so lobsided with one driver having a clear advantage over the other.
like I’ve said previously I’ve never been a massive Lewis fan anyway but that ending made me sick.
Thanks for proving my point, "deserves it less", still means he would deserve it. Why should a decision not made by Max, change the opinion of whether or not he deserves it?
And jesus the state of this comment: "Norris has driven brilliantly this season, he's deserving of the title given how well he's done in an inferior car." That is not at all the point.
Some of you really need to come back tomorrow, saying Max doesn't deserve it is ridiculous. I'm saying this as a Hamilton fan through and through.
Right, Hamilton is a baby and Max 'I push drives out of the track if they try to overtake me' Verstappen is a paragon of sportmanship? Get over yourself.
Lewis with fresh tyres on the last lap leads to Max causing a crash I'm sure.
Do you guys think George Russell will challenge for the title straight away ? Because that could make next year really, really more intense if that's even possible.
All perfectly understandable and correct.
And when Masi is removed for making the rules up on the hoof, we have just the job for him. UK Prime Minister.
Yes he is not British, but don't let that stand in the way of a wonderful career.
that was the post season controversy i could sign up for with protests and counter protests. this is just shit.
Probably
Yep. Whoever won that championship would've deserved it.
If they have done it all season then they are not going to change the effect for one race
Quite possible.
They hung Hamilton out to dry there. Dispicable.
If you want it to be a spectacle then let them fecking both pit.

Mercedes were the ones that sent in the protest. Both drivers have been summoned for alleged breaches
One for 48.8, and Max was indeed in front of Lewis by a few inches, prior to the restart, but not sure it'd be enough to warrant an 'overtake'.
48.8 said:
and one for 48.12, unsurprisingly. Which was also posted earlier in this thread.
48.12 said:
Doubt it, he will be a no2 for Lewis and I won’t have any issues with it considering how many years he has ahead of him
Horner "let them race, one last lap"
Absolute joke of a comment. Yeah let them race but then do it fair then. Both on fresh tires.
I'm honestly interested in hearing Max fans opinion on that comment from Horner there. And this has nothing to do with the result or the championship, it's a straight forward question:
Do you think that was a fair "let them race" last lap showdown?

And lets not forget his wife beating dad.
Very well said.
He will hit the ground running I'm certain. I don't think he's likely to be quite as nice as Hamilton is in wheel to wheel battle either, he's got a point to prove etc. We need Leclerc competitive against Max too, no quarter given.
Yeah I mean I have a healthy dislike of Verstappen, I think he's spoiled, dangerous, and treated unfairly leniently compared to everyone else, but the racism accusation just doesn't land.
It's bizarre, there's more than enough to dislike about him without making stuff like that up.
hey! it was just aggressive marriaging.
Yeah and where there's interpretation, I get that.
When the rules say what to do in these circumstances, it feels contrived because they don't want the championship to end under a flag/vsc.
I think he'll adjust and settle in much quicker than some people think.
No doubt Lewis and Max have been the fastest drivers this season.
But for the reasons in my post which you replied to, Max did not deserve to win over Lewis. He drove dirty and the FIA let him get away with it to create "drama". It's a farce.
What Max deserved imo is to come 2nd after some great driving this season.
I agree entirely with this but I don't at the same time.
I really despise the fact that Max got the chance to 'race' after pretty clearly being beaten by Lewis today and coming out second best.
Sky F1 may as well put Horner on the Red Button at this point, just a PR mouthpiece for him for the last few years.
I'm not sure if Ferrari will improve enough for Leclerc to be up there. It's more likely that Mclaren can do that with Norris.
I thought I’d be delighted to see Max win just because I wanted someone other than Hamilton and Mercedes to win but as it’s settled down I do think the better driver on the day by a mile lost and only because of a ridiculous decision. Leaves a bit of an empty feeling really.
Of course not.
I'm surprised it's not even worse tbh. I was looking forward to some right arguments!
All we are getting is some pitifully unfunny woodworms and basic bitch calls of salt. This was supposed to be my post-race entertainment
I can’t be bothered to go trawling for quotes but he has a clear beef with Hamilton being in the sport at all. The way he talks about it is questionable, to say the least. I’m not the only person to notice it, I know that much.
I seriously hope so, he showed in his chance with Mercedes last year that he'd be capable of winning races so.
Exactly. The last lap was most certainly not a race. It was a walk over due to circumstances.
And don't forget the weaving Verstappen was doing after he had passed Hamilton.
As you say. The so called last lap racing was not racing.
It probably helps that he has already raced in a Mercedes. He must have a pretty good idea what it feels like.
Yes. Street rules.
