Safety car finish?
I think this might actually finish under SC. 4 laps to go, they need to clear that crash... If it finishes under SC Lewis to win. One more lap of racing and MV probably has it.
This is a huge gamble, again!
I have no fingers left...
Wow what and end to an amazing topsy-turvy season
That safety car wants to hurry the **** up!!
This is going to be quite something.
Wait, wut?
Maybe it won't after all. Starting to feel some sympathy for Red Bull. Well, nearly.
Someone will be trying to orchestrate one racing lap, though I’m sure. If they manage it, this is Max’s; it f not, it’s Lewis’s.
This is going to be either ridiculous or chaos. At least the lapped cars will be between them.
Lapped cars not being allowed to go through so Hamilton can hopefully get enough of a gap to stay clear for one more lap.
And RB are taking that decision very personally, thinking it's all a big anti-RB conspiracy.
Looks like two racing laps, I think…? money’s on Max 😬
Getting a Hmmm on that decision
Ah no, just one
Even one lap, Max still has a good chance.
What the f@&k?
They're making it up as they go along. Complete and utter farce.
There will be lots of appeals.
Farcical now.
Bloody hell 😳
So this is going to court then.
Ah that’s ****ed it
does he have DRS?
ARGH!!!
Crazy
Bollox
Mental!
Ooof
WWF1
Wtf was that?
That is a joke
Mess.
****ing travesty
Well he didn't win that by being the fastest
wowowowow see those softs
What the actual fuxxxk...
Farce
Well you can't say that wasn't entertaining
Bit of a pantomime that one.
Bloody hell, what a title decider.
****ing joke!
bye bye toto
What a bit of a mess - Masi needs the sack
Farcical!
Nooooo
That’s a joke. Surely.
Cluster f u c k
Oh there's gonna be lots of Michael, Michael
Masi isn’t going to be working as a race director again…
We'll see you (FIA) in court.
That was an absolute farce and it’s me done watching F1
what great entertainment
Hahahahabahha Lewis the loser
What a crock
Don’t know where to even start with that. What a mess
Cam't argue that throughout the season, the luck has been firmly on the RB side for a lot of this. Escaping penalties, safety cars falling exactly where they need them...
I still feel that Lewis deserved it far more.
What a load of shite.
Chance for LH to show what a real champion looks like.
shouldve pitted to change lh tyres.. they had 2 chances
Race control just handed that to Max. Whatever the rights and wrongs, and whatever the "convention", they've just completely changed the outcome.
First F1 race I've watched in years...
Absolute Joke!
Glad I've not wasted any time previously...
Mercedes should be quite aggrieved for sure.
I think there'll be appeals - Merc will be asking why half the field was allowed to unlap rather than all of them or none of them.
they had 2 chances
Both times it would have lost them the race. They had no choice.
Why did they only let 5 of the lapped cars (those between max and hamitlon) through and not the others?
For the first time since the 90s F1 just about hooked me back in. That's it though, it's not a sport anymore.
Why were only the cars between LH and MV allowed through?
Yes, it should've been the whole field, even Brundle said that in commentary
Agreed, decided in an office and not on the track
Masi changed his mind - forgetting the rules - after Horner whinged at him. Mercedes have been robbed.
Wow, what a farce. I can't help feeling this isn't the end of it, this will be dragged through the courts for a while to come.
I hope Mercedes don't appeal...would be bad for the sport. I think Max's pole lap yesterday showed what a great (if controversial) driver he is.
Mercedes just need to come back next year and destroy the field.
FIA decided a last winter they didn’t want another Merc win.
That is utterly shocking.
Before the race it was fair to say both drivers deserve to win the championship (just about!)
After the race Hamilton and Mercedes definitely deserved it.
Horner can never complain about RB being unfairly treated again. Just got gifted the race after their driver totally failed to catch someone on much older tyres.
Ridiculous. And that Ladies and Gentlemen is what shit management (Masi) looks like.
At least it wasn't won with a dirty move, but Masi can do one.
That’s it though, it’s not a sport anymore.
Agreed. Not sure it's been a sport for years, but that was pure managed-for-TV entertainment for the purposes of the owner's shareholders.
If Max had won by being fastest today then fine, I'd have said well done and well deserved.
That was just a farce. I've been watching since Rosberg won in 82 but I won't bother now if the rules aren't applied fairly.
I don't think Mercedes will appeal I would be surprised if they don't exit in a few years this is not sport, the whole season has been tainted.
I think there’ll be appeals – Merc will be asking why half the field was allowed to unlap rather than all of them or none of them.
Not forgetting the 4-5 seconds in one lap that Sergio Perez held up Hamilton in one single lap earlier in the race, acting as a purposeful mobile chicane.
It would have been shit to watch, a total anti-climax, but the only fair ways to end that race were either to finish under the safety car, or to allow all of the lapped cars to unlap themselves.
Not a Lewis fan here, but honestly he was robbed of that race!
