    He was mad for new tyres at every yellow. It was bad luck but he turned out to be right

    And I'm sure you'd be saying the same thing if it happened to benefit Hamilton? 😂

    Okay max has won but I’m sorry Michael Massi is a terrible race director and over the winter he needs to get a decisiveness implant as him changing his mind has lead to shockingly messy outcomes and it’s not fair to the drivers and us the fans.

    Mercedes had plenty of options to come in, they played it safe and got caught.


    Absolutely delighted !!

    FIA letting the championship be won on track and not let it be decided ending up under the safety car, fair play to them!

    The stewards **** it up again.

    Nonetheless, congrats to Max. He kept his head when others would have lost it. Fair play to him.

    The max fans will obviously love that but no fan that is not biased can consider that anything but a disgrace.

    Well done Max.

    I'm sure there's lawyers licking their lips waiting on a call from RB, Merc and the FIA for a date at CAS.

    Right ending to have them 1 vs 1 but it was ridiculous there was so much toing and froing with the decision making.

    YUKI finishes 4th!

    Funny that Mercedes now moaning about safety car not staying out when earlier they were moaning that they didn't want it to come out at all.

    Toto was a disgrace today to be honest trying to run the race.

    Max has been amazing this season and over the season the best driver but the stewards won the race for him today with a bizarre move

    And it probably would've been wrong to end it with a safety car too.

    The FIA knew Max was likely winning if they restarted, and they know Lewis was definitely winning if they didn't.

    Stewarding decided it.

    Did they clear all of them, or just the ones in front of Max?

    Then dont let the lapped cars change at all. Removing only the ones between them is not process and a disgrace.

    I think it's contentious because the FIA only let certain cars unlap themselves and not all the lapped cars.

    The change of tyres was key, Hamilton should have came in, changed them too, yes he's be second, but he'd have a chance on good tyres
