Bring! It! On!
Every driver out in front loses their lead behind a SC it is nothing new
Applying the rules that way would have penalised Hamilton on lap 1 so I actually doubt the people demanding rules be followed ACTUALLY want them followed strictly.
It was only one of 10 victories. Lewis had 8 victories this year. On balance the right man won, but the manipulation of "the show" that Masi did here was horrible.
Regarding the football analogy, Red card match suspensions have been overturned.
Merc prostesting again? FFS it's getting late, get some sleep.
Stay classless Mercedes.
RB versus Merc
They're still crying. It's actually fun watching them meltdown.
With new regulations next season and potentially/hopefully teams like Ferrari/McLaren/Alpine/Aston Martin who haven't won a title in years in legitimate contention these teams will ensure there is solid rule changes to avoid any of them becoming victims of some of a mess like today and to ensure the removal of Masi
That's what happens under a safety car. The 11 second lead means nothing once the SC comes out.
Reckon Merceedes will just continue to lodge appeal until Thursday.
Sore loses at this stage.
Not surprising really.
As I said, it's like trying to get goals deducted after a football match because the referee made an error or tries taken off a rugby score as the video referee made a bad call.
You cannot have a situation where a referee decision can be challenged in court, it's terrible for any sport, not just formula one.
The people saying it should happen, if every decision in a sport can be debated and subject to legal challenges after the event, then we may as well just pack up and go home. That is not what sport is about.
For anyone who thinks it's a "hollow victory" because Hamilton was faster today it's a season and this race isn't a winner takes all final. Versappen was faster in other races
I REALLY hope George Russell has a woeful season next season,like,brutal bad.
Why?
Do you wish the same for Lando? He said at the end of the race that he didn't like how it unfolded either and he has no skin in the game.
That's how safety cars work. This isn't a new thing. It doesn't matter how big a lead is, what matters is who is first past the post. Hamilton lost on track.
Would you stop, that's embarrassing
So how did Perez hold of Lewis on really worn tyres and Lewis had brand new tyres?
Craig Slater really would put you sleep if you listen to him too long.
Never really got the love for him. His tweet that he later deleted about Bottas that time was a Dick move.
Yeah, a guy who wears a tribute helmet for the man who brought him into F1 must be a gobsh**t
Hes gunna fit in great with Merc thats for sure.
He certainly enjoys listening to himself.
Through taking advantage of DRS detection zones deployments.
In case you forgot, Perez needed DRS to overtake Hamilton again which kept him behind. Hamilton didn't have that luxury today.
Hamilton was also on hard tyres, compared to Perez being on worn softs, so Hamilton's tyre advantage at the time was lower than Max's. The hards take a number of laps to get up to speed. It's one of the reasons why Max wasn't able to close in as quickly when he put the fresh hards on.
Because that would be really classy.
Its not decided in 1 race, its decided over a season, Verstappen got more points so hes the champion - its pretty straightforward
He'll be another Bottas while Hamilton is there
Toto just left with Paul Harris QC.
Id be worried about what he'd do next
Lance Armstrong had a whole massive charity. Still a gobsh**te. I'm neutral on Russell but your reasoning is daft
So did Latifi. It would have been pretty strange for a Williams driver not to wear a tribute helmet that weekend don't you think? Whatever you think of Russell that's an odd thing to single out and praise him for, when it's unlikely it was his decision rather than the team's.
elite level sports people / teams are often fairly awful people, their single mindedness probably causes this. Mercedes and Hamilton have just lost a world championship in really controversial circumstances, to think red bull or max wouldn’t be kicking up a fuss no is fairly naive I think.
For the record I think they made the right call, they couldn’t change it now and RB or max did nothing wrong today, just got a bit of luck.
Is this a parody post?
And sure while you're at it get him a trophy and jacket(!) made for 2016 also because Nico was mean and didn't let him that one.
