Bring! It! On!
On that basis would it have not just been much better to finish under the safety car, Hamilton was never going to lose without it so there would have been little to no controversy.
Where are all the conspiracy cracknuts now then?
Carlos Sainz. Remember last year when we thought it was a bad move?
Just the ones in front of Max.
Well this aged well
The best thing to do would have been to red flag the race no then have a standing start for the final 4 laps.
As much as Mercedes might think it's hard luck, Red Bull nailed the strategy when push came to shove and Mercedes didn't.
Karma for Toto and his nonsense
The decision for the first lap baffled me, the stuff at the end baffled me. Balanced out in the end.
Congrats to Max, unlucky for Hamilton but hey that's racing.
And special mention to Michael Masi, who's dynamic new flexible approach to enforcement of rules and regulations has rejuvenated the championship.
delighted to see hamilton knocked off his throne, was really worried he was going to beat schumys 7....great win for max
With one on fresh softs and one on worn hards.
Such BS, but entertaining
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
Lewis leads pretty much for 57 laps…
I think it's contentious because the FIA only let certain cars unlap themselves and not all the lapped cars.
Then dont let the lapped cars change at all. Removing only the ones between them is not process and a disgrace.
Did they clear all of them, or just the ones in front of Max?
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.
Anyone know who came 3rd? 😂😂😂
Overfckingjoyed I am , sensational drama,deserved world champion in max.
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
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.
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!
Incredible. Against all odds Max pulled it off. Amazing.
It wasn't within the rules, that's for sure.But it was the drama we all secretly wanted .
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.
Nice to see some of the other drivers console Hamilton
The max fans will obviously love that but no fan that is not biased can consider that anything but a disgrace.
The stewards **** it up again.
Nonetheless, congrats to Max. He kept his head when others would have lost it. Fair play to him.
FIA letting the championship be won on track and not let it be decided ending up under the safety car, fair play to them!
Mercedes whinging about the rules, ironic
