Bring! It! On!
Beautiful.
Kimi was winning it last I saw.
Was the red flag against the rules? Were the process for those safety cars completely disregarded in his favour?
The issue is not max benefitting t from the safety car, its that the race director deliberately made it easy for him rather than following the rules. The race director cheated Hamilton. Deliberately.
You have to wonder if Michael Masi’s Mercedes contract only lasted the same number of laps as Lewis’ steering wheel count - quite a turnaround from allowing Hamilton to cheat and doing everything Mercedes tells him on the radio to suddenly applying the rules correctly at the end and talking back to Toto.
Did they?
But for safety cars, RB had fúcked up despite pole.
The start was nonsense, but I don't think it made a big difference. Lewis' tyres were taking him past Max at some point in those first few laps.
Max only led the whole race for about half a lap, but it was the most important half a lap by far.
Yep Leicester 1 up against Newcastle
rosberg- toto why didnt you pit lewis for fresh tyres?
haha this what we need to see later on
In hindsight they should have red flagged and give four laps on softs
Like a lot of people watching today, I'm very much an inexperienced viewer, so trying to figure out:
what was the story with Perez being withdrawn at the end? He sounded surprised to be called in, and if it looked like the race might just finish behind the safety car wasn't it weird to not complete the race?
No, it's all or none.
Mercedes do need to let this go though. It does nobody any good if they try to take this further.
I just don’t want to hear any more bullshit about the stewards favouring the Mercs. People conveniently ignore that Horner was complaining about the decision not to let the lapped cars through and then complain about Toto doing lobbying as well.
Most likely 😅
Latifi crashed at literally the perfect moment. One lap earlier or later we wouldn't have had this.
Why does toto sound like Alan rickman playing dev in the movie Michael Colins.
Horner appears and Hill disappears
Wasn't able to watch, just caught up with some of the highlights. Delighted for Verstappen, feel like he was the best driver over the season. Stewarding is terrible, but I think karma won out in the end.
Show me on the rules where it says only the lapped cars between 1st and 2nd need to unlap?
You can't cause that isn't in the rules. Masi deliberately cheated merc.
Someone suggested they did it to make it clear to all the drivers that it was max in the red bull behind them.
The race director wanted the contest to finish as a race.
Fair **** to him.
And Ham was very gracious as well.
Man oh man
Pretty ridiculous way to decide a world title, I understand the rules and what the racing director said but it kind of stinks to end it that way, and Iam a red bull fan but that was a weird one, doesn’t attract the casual fan
Toto Vs Masi coming up next year in UFC would be some box office
What he did was make up it, deliberately cheat merc, and give max an easy pass.
That's just wrong
I don't know. What Masi did was a joke, if a stink is made about it leading to his removal that would be better for the sport in the long run.
Christian Horner should resign and move to broadcasting, its clear that talking to the media is his first love.
It’ll be a brave person from sky who approaches toto to ask him if will come on air live.
But if that was the desired outcome, then red flag, tyre changes all round, grid restart and 4 laps racing was the way to go.
This was just so unsatisfying
Max won. Give it a rest lad.
