I can understand the wanting to get a race to decide the title but no one can look at that and think it’s fair what they did.
If they red flagged it, both drivers on new tyres and it’s a fair fight.
Safety cars are part of F1 but changing the rules to make a race isn’t right.
The stewards say the race director is allowed to control use of the safety car so they have rejected Mercedes protest.
So if race director can do what he wants, why have they rules governing how cars can un lap themselves ?
This just sounds like a complete fudge to justify the race director handing verstappen the title
I'm never watching a race again after that - total bullshit
I’ve never really watched one before but yeah, I won’t be back.
I’ve always been a bit confused by the mix of it being partly a driver competition and partly a team/constructor one. But you’d still expect a race to play out fairly.
This afternoon’s nonsense made a mockery of the whole thing.
They basically handed Verstappen a title he clearly wasn’t going to win.
Salty Hamilton fans can go watch cricket. Next season will be ballistic with completely new cars on 18 inch rims. George Russell will give Sir Lewis plenty of sleepless nights. You'll be back
Make 2mrw better than 2day
Für eure Sicherheit
Holy shit why can’t you take a joke?
I’m not an F1 fan at all. I guess I kinda wanted Hamilton to win but I didn’t really care.
What happened yesterday would have been just as nonsensical had it happened the other way around.
Sport should be about who is the best person on the day.
You don’t stop a 10,000 meter race with one lap to go where one athlete is 30 meters ahead and then have a sudden death lap with the person who was second suddenly right behind the one who was leading. Especially if the person who was second is given new shoes or something which gives them a clear advantage in that final lap. It’s just now how sport should be.
