Another one with this very awful take.
Feels strange to want a 1-sided lap to decide the title then too, no?
Or do you think changing the rules to have allowed Hamilton to pit and have them both on a fair 1-lap shoot out would be a step too far?
Because if the rules had been followed, they anticipated that the race would have finished behind a safety car.
Because he’d have lost track position when the rules dictated that the race should’ve finished behind the SC, therefore throwing away the championships
They are not to be honest. People have complained about it for years.
Todays issue is with the application. Or non application of the SC withdrawal rules.
Seems to me though the rules are ambiguous and Mercedes won’t win. The rules only say all cars needs to unlap themselves if all cars are told to.
That happens all the time in formula 1. It’s terrible luck but Verstappen had his fair share of that too this season.
They didn't apply their own rules when allowing 5 cars to unlap themselves so they could have a last lap race.
Horner looks confident
Don't get that either Merc seem very cautious compared to RB. All they do is react
That's just silly.
Tag team wrestling is the only solution. "Mad" Max and "Little Jack" Horner Vs "Old man" Lewis and "Headphones" Tito
Well not really because if it goes to CAS i don't think there's a chance to appeal the decision as that is the final decision
Well when u find out that u agree with Liverpool players u should know that u are on the wrong side.
do they normally give decisions in person ?
Is there an ELI5 post in here breaking all this down?
What a shit way to end the season. FIA have fecked this up so badly
Many many years ago on That's Life, they had some people playing Outrun sober, then again after a few pints. To a man they all improved when pissed. Makes you think.
Strategy. They didn't need too, he had a 10-second lead, and they were lead to believe there'd be no overlap at first.
You’d rather have no racing?
Thanks for that …Christmas turkey will from now on never taste the same.
Eh? I mean whatever is decided in this protest is going to CAS. Regardless of the outcome.
If he did, max stays out and wins.
They didn't want to be behind Max? (for some unknown reason
)No they simply didn't want to risk the fact that the race MIGHT finish under the SC. It wasn't a decision about the rules but probabilities at the time and since Hamilton had already passed the pit entry.
It's beyond luck they literally disregarded the rules so they could have a shoot-out last lap for a bit of spectacle. That isnt sport.
Still wearing that T Shirt
Crazy stuff this. This shows they need some serious overhaul at FIA
FIA: Sprint Race
Theres still the issue of SC not coming in the next round, but the same one
I feel like either the Judgment of Solomon is coming - cut the WC in half.
Or that 2 wrongs actually make a right.
I am joking by the way.

I think he meant if FiA award it... (not CAS)
Yeah great comment. You are a much better fan being happy at rules changing to suit tv audiences, there's irony there
At least let it be a fair fight won't you? Or is that changing the rules too far?
That’s your opinion. That isn’t a fact.
There was plenty of racing all of the laps before.
What he wanted was the rules to be applied correctly.
Which they weren’t.
Hence the word "anticipated".
'Red bull and Mercedes going to the stewards to hear the verdict.'
If a team was leading 1-0 in the last 5 minutes and someone had to go off injured, would you be happy with the referee deciding it would be decided with a penalty shoot out?
Did you miss the previous 55 laps?
Not necessarily. Would have actually ended up a shoot out both on softs for one lap. Merc had no way to know that though. They played the probabilities
The rules were disregarded for 'motor racing', later corrected by the glorious Masi to, 'car racing'.
