F1 2021 Season

Doesn't make it right.
From a pure sporting perspective. Not talking about today in isolation.

You build up a significant lead and then thats killed by a SC. Its needs looking at.

Why are they complaining about it now then?

edit: I do agree about the unfairness but that’s always been the case. The way people are going on about it is as if they all of a sudden created a safety car today.
 
Feels like a classic legal move there going in with two complaints. One frivolous, one solid, giving them quick and easy decision on one which also serves to highlight the severity of the other.
Interesting, is this a common practice?
 
Nothing will happen with the protests, it's just more theater, the championship has been handed out and that's pretty much the end of it.

The only thing they can do is to get rid of Masi, who's been an inconsistent mess all year, and bring in a race director who can handle the pressure and stick to the rules.
I nominate santi_mesut_alexis
 
it’s max i feel sorry for. he should be spraying champagne at anything that moves and shouting “world champion, bitch!” into the faces of children but instead he’s stuck in the back of the red bull trailer, piling cash into brown envelopes. it’s a crying shame.

They aren’t going to rule against him. And it’s going to CAS either way. If they hand Hamilton the win, Red Bull obviously aren’t just going to accept it either.

Surely Horner will help him with some licking the envelopes..


... and anything else to hand.
 
Sainz team should probably lodge a complaint too, why give max the chance to win, yet not give sainz a shot at Max for 2nd?
 
Please just read the facts of the situation. There is more to it than just lapped cars passing and safety cars as a whole.

They should have let all cars pass but we all want to see racing though? You rather have it finish behind the safety car. Feels strange to want that as a racing fan.
 
How is it a farce? Races are decided by safety cars all the time.
They let 5 cars unlap themselves to remove a 10sec+ gap between Hamilton and Verstappen. They should've either let all cars unlap themselves or none. Both of those correct decisions would've led to a Hamilton win.

The race was not decided by the safety car but by the FIA.

They already had 55 laps of racing and Hamilton was miles ahead. The arbitrary the last lap has to be a racing one is nonsense.
 
Get them both out on the track again. Five lap shoot out. After five pints each. The FIA not doing this is a farce. Worse than the FAI.
 
Was trying to avoid the result, so I can watch tonight, but ny brother in law who's expecting a baby text me the result. I had my phone data off and just checked his message incase it was about the baby. He doesnt even watch f1 normally. So mad.

Will watch the highlights tonight now, have seen the first lap incident. From what I've read, sound like FIA cheated lewis out of a deserved victory and got what they wanted. Schmachers 7 world titles not being beaten, by a black man who will wear a rainbow helmet.

Gutted for lewis. It's a new dawn in f1 racing, rules of engagement are different now. Its lunging down in the inside, pushing people off track and bumper cars. Shame the likes of Senna, mansell, piquet and schmacher arent around to stick max into a wall.
 
Both teams are heading back to the stewards in 5 mins according to the coverage on C4.
 
FOM will probably live stream the case when it goes CAS and turn it into a PPV.
