Sky sports saying decision in 11mins
Feels like a classic legal move there going in with two complaints. One frivolous, one solid, giving them quick and easy decision on one which also serves to highlight the severity of the other.
Haven’t seen that anywhere?
decision is at 18:45 uk time
Fine but it's not me you were posting to/from?
I was just trying to clarify the other posts
Decision at 6:45 according to sky
FIA treating it like a red flag restart. Weapons.
Decision any minute
When I used to play 6-a-side footy and we were losing 3-0 or more close to the end of the game, I'd sometimes* say "next goal's the winner, yeah?" to whoever was marking me as a joke.
This kinda feels like that.
*I am hilarious.

How is it a farce? Races are decided by safety cars all the time.
It's all a big farce. There's no good way out of this for them, they've made a huge problem for themselves here.
You love giving yourself a hard life don’t you?!
We're gonna get a promo 5 minutes before the decision with a montage of previous stewards' decisions.
the un lapping of cars is one of the more ridiculous rules in F1, why should lapped cars be allowed to un lap themselves?
Hamilton benifitted from this earlier in the season, eventually gaining 18 points.
Lapped cars should move aside so the race order before the incident is in place.

The safety car rule in general is farcical. Not sure why Hamilton and Mercedes who were so far ahead have to be penalised for events outside there control. Defies logic.
"TV ratings were up"?I don’t see how the FIA can stand by their decision.. what can they say?
Literally announced it as I got out of the car.
Maybe the presenter was mistaken but that’s what he and the correspondent were just getting into
Doesn't make it right.
From a pure sporting perspective. Not talking about today in isolation.
You build up a significant lead and then thats killed by a SC. It needs looking at.
Why are they complaining about it now then?
edit: I do agree about the unfairness but that’s always been the case. The way people are going on about it is as if they all of a sudden created a safety car today.
They'll make up some absolute bullshite and stick with their decision. Then get shown up at CAS in a few months.I don’t see how the FIA can stand by their decision.. what can they say?
Interesting, is this a common practice?
They didn't allow all the cars to unlap themselves, just the ones between Lewis and Max.
That teets going straight in the evidence file to cas
Please just read the facts of the situation. There is more to it than just lapped cars passing and safety cars as a whole.
I nominate santi_mesut_alexis
They are not. They are complaining that the rule was not followed.
The safety car has been around for decades. Have you just decided today that it defies logic?
They reckon 2nd is gonna be dismissed too.
Off to CAS we go.

The FIA tweeting that about Max winning the title at 6.29pm and a decision expected at 6.45pm on the protest...
Imagine if they do rule against him, they'd have royally stitched themselves up.

RB garage looks pretty relaxed.
it’s max i feel sorry for. he should be spraying champagne at anything that moves and shouting “world champion, bitch!” into the faces of children but instead he’s stuck in the back of the red bull trailer, piling cash into brown envelopes. it’s a crying shame.
Even footballers who chose to play for Liverpool have enough sense to see what happened...
Feel like this will be the case too. It really shouldn't be though
