chrisjpainter Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 I'll turn on at 12:59 and not a minute before! I just want to watch the race, not celebrities desperately trying to find relevance in a different field! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIGHTCHOKE Posted December 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 (edited) Either they have rules or they don't, you can't have it both ways. Safety car and lapped cars. Edited December 12, 2021 by TIGHTCHOKE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oowee Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 Lewis was robbed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 Never in my life have witnessed such cack as what I have just seen. They handed verstsppen the title knowing full well exactly what would happen. Stinks. I'm no fan of Hamilton but if I was max I'd be bloody ashamed to have it handed to me like that.

TIGHTCHOKE Posted December 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 That devalued what was once a sport held in high regard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjpainter Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 I don't think there's a challenge that can be made that will make a difference. What could the race organisers do now? Say 'Lewis you won, because we don't think Max could have caught you? Too many variables could have been played out, lock ups, accidents, etc. And it robs every other driver below of what they achieved on the last lap. Void the whole race? Max is still World champ by virtue of race wins. Penalty for Max? For what? In this episode, Max was completely innocent. He'd done nothing wrong, it's the laws that have muddled it all. It will always be a controversial ending, we'll be talking about it for years to come. The issue of safety cars and lapped cars needs looking at.

He won’t be, he is Dutch and after 21 years of working with them, I can say that they have no scruples and a level of arrogance that far exceeds any other nationality that I have worked with.

figgy Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 I can say hand on heart if it was Lewis winning and max was leading by so much I'd think the same, hollow victory. Toto must be spitting mad to hear that called motor racing get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokersmith Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 It's a bitter pill to swallow ... but I don't see what the FIA did wrong. Any of the bellyachers on here care to share what rule was broken to favour Max? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 They didn't let all the lapped cars through as they should have. Eith all or none. They decided to put verstsppen on Hamilton's tail knowing full well how it would end. A stupid choice from the race officials thinking it would be great to see. How daft do they think everyone watching is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any of the bellyachers on here care to share what rule was broken to favour Max? Some talk of allowing certain lapped cars to overtake, but not others, which would be unfairly applying them. The stewards were done for either way. Whichever team lost out would have liquored up and come down the mountain on them, so I guess they had two choices: Apply the letter of the law and unfairly bias Lewis; or just let them race, Hamilton with track position Max with the tyres. They went for the latter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
