I hate to agree with you, because I dislike Red Bull with a passion, but you right.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
I wonder what went through Hamilton's mind there. Suddenly Max is right behind you on fresh tires. Felt like a wounded prey being hunted by the predator.
Settling this race and Championship at CAS will be so fitting for this season.
99% certain this is how it will play out.
Yep, I think this is what’ll happen too.
It is arguable if you look at this race only. Over the course of the season is a different story.
Lets be honest the race director fecked up big time, but it must stand or F1 will be turned into a laughing stock.
It might have been exciting for the causal odd race watching but for the fans it was a disgrace.
I wanted Lewis to win, but there is no way I want him winning by appeal.
I have read posts saying he will walk away from F1, I say not a chance , he will be back next season wanting his title back and fighting for it.
Worth pointing out that Mazepin managed to finish 21st in the championship in a sport with 20 cars.
Impressive.
Impressive.
A bit surprised why overturning the race, applying the proper rules, would be seen as more of a farce than having the result stand with completely made up rules.
What a stat
In fairness, think Russell did that a couple of years back. But still, a fitting placement for that prick.
You make a good valid point
Max's tyres were always getting shot, and that incident wasn't cut and dried as to what happened. The stewards think he forced that situation, not sure I agree with that, but he still had to pit when he pitted. Nothing changed as a result of that in terms of tyres/strategy.
The last decision was a complete omni shambles and changing of the rules. Not an interpretation, a change to suit the TV and get a "final lap showdown'".
Now we can talk about right and wrong in both, no problem, but there's no way they are even remotely close to the same thing.
Nobody is saying Max wouldn't have been a worthy winner if he won this race on merit, then fair play.
Nobody can say that ending wasn't shambolic. The whole race was abandoned and settled on 1 lap
Because the gap between the first 3 and everybody else was massive which basically gives him a free pit stop as he'll still come out in the same position and lost out on 5-10 seconds to Lewis instead of the 25 seconds he would have in a normal pitstop.
Hamilton fans not taking it as well as their driver.
FYI, the first race I attended was the 1984 Dutch Grand Prix won by Alain Prost.
I agree entirely. But won’t be what happens, sadly.
Finished behind a one-armed man who had a go in an Alfa for a couple of races, no less.
Would absolutely love the replies from Max fans if the result was overturned. Sadly it won't happen.

That's an amazing stat, I laughed out loud reading it.
It’s already a farce - at least this would be a farce ending up with the correct race winner based on today’s race. Either way it’s going to CAS.
Penny for Latifi’s thoughts?
Poor guy won’t sleep well tonight.

That's not what I asked exactly but someone else got what I meant and replied. Thanks.
Whatever they are I could never unhear how much he sounds like kermit the frog on team radio.
Yeah, given the death threats Glock got in 08, would be horrible to be him right now.
Fair enough. As a neutral, I'm glad there were allowed that final racing lap but I also grasp that it was unfair how it unfolded.
Well, that was anticlimatic.

Merit? Max was not making the calls, stewards/FIA did. He made most of the situation which opened up for him, which in this case was a one lap dash and he made it work.
Besides, I'm obviously talking about the season as a whole. That's why I quoted a stat of 18 top 2 finishes. Max deserves this, ending wasn't ideal, but that doesn't mean he didn't drive his ass off all year to get to this point. Folks are right to bring up Hamiltons' misfortune today, but at the same time, Verstappen had his in Baku, Silverstone and Hungary.
And the amazing fortune Lewis had in Imola, where he should have finished last after spending a full minute doing donuts in the gravel but still finished second.
Max was unfortunate in Baku and Hungary, Silverstone he takes partial blame for. He also brake checked his main competitor and got away with it.
Does he deserve to be champion? Yes, is it justice? No.
If you want to talk about misfortune and justice, Lewis is probably a 10 time world champion by now. Just enjoy it Max fans, justification as to why its deserved isn't required.

I guess it’s a matter of debate, but generally I think most people were of the view that going into this race both drivers have done great and both were deserving. And I think it’s in this context that people say “underserved” - not because he didn’t over the season, but because both did and the way it was won today was not deserved.
Absolute novice but I've kept watch due to the hype around this season. Can anyone explain in simplistic terms what the controversy is regarding the race.
Well done Max! Deserved title win over the course of the season, and after all the bad luck he’s had. He’s been the better driver over this season for me. Hopefully the first of many to come. Him and Lewis have been on another level compared to the rest. End of the race, I’m pretty sure my heart was going faster than these cars
Mercedes in the second half of seasons is something else. They turn the heat on like crazy, and the cars seem to get way faster. Ham gracious in defeat, doubt anyone else in the grid could have been composed in that situation. Respect. Having 7 titles probably helps though
