Formula 1 Round 22 Abu Dhabi GP

Yes they are, letting only some of the lapped cars through is not within the rules.

Not the first time they've done that, especially on tyres.

Max could have stayed out, the tyre differential would not have been there.

Verstappen won the race because of a better strategy. He had nothing to lose with the extra stops and sometimes luck goes your way.

But Masi has been a disgrace all season long. He bends to whoever complains the most. I'm pretty sure they didn't even apply the correct rules at then end only letting 4 cars unlap themselves at the last second.

I suppose reflecting on it, it was consistently inconsistent stewarding all season so it was just going to be a case of who was in the right place at the right time to cash in at the crucial moment.

They really need to have a look at it for next season, exciting as it was, the sport's credibility will be lost in all the drama

Well as was pointed out on commentary that Mercedes’ asked Lewis about tyres and then didn’t bring him in.

Absolutely insane. INSANE!!

I am so, so happy for Max. It’s so great to see the best driver winning. I said he’d need to be lucky and good!!

Honda too deserve a huge amount of congratulations for leaving it all on the track before leaving the sport.

Conversely, but of retrospection needed for Mercedes. Wolff was cannot dictate terms of the race. He was disgraceful today.

Hamilton will be back and fully motivated next year, the battle with Max will be amazing!

What a season!!

Yet they will still manage to change the story 😊

I'm very much on team Verstappen but that just seems like a farce. That being said, it's nice to see a farce go in his favour for once.

Hamilton was just remarkably unlucky. I don't think Merc got it wrong, RB were always just going to do the opposite, and there were risks either way.

What a finish. Well done Max.

Plot Twist: Michael Masi secretly works for Netflix

Verstappen was complaining while the situation was happening, he never in his wildest dreams expected to restart side by side with Hamilton, but that's what they did.

Come on, its more than odd. Let them all through or let none of them through.

Don't only let the ones through that suit you and then hit the restart button.

How can people handwave that away so easily? Its supposed to be the race director for gods sake.

Lewis deserved the win today but that’s the way it can go with safety cars.

Both had great seasons. You would have to be very biased to think one was the clear winner. Glad to have a new winner in a two horse race.

Really hoping there’s a tightening of the pack next year.
