I’m not English and never really been a fan of Hamilton. That ending made a mockery of the sport.Everybody not following Lewis disagree's with this.
It's Damon 94 all over again
Salty english fans and everybody else lapping it up

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.
You think this is the sport with the most financial disparity between teams?
Christ
It was always going to be the case. Same for Perez and Bottas.
Bottas could have cleaned Max out at Saudi Arabia when he fecked the restart but he bailed out instead and lost a load of places.
Wonder how much Masi had on Verstappen to win.
it’s been a good result for him. i really didn’t want him before today with his sound bites and hypocrisy but circumstances have mellowed me. not his fault it ended how it did. someone just decided he should get the chance to win it that his performances deserved this year.
That holds true for basically every official in every sport.
F1 literally has a "Constructors Championship" title for the manufacturers. It's not tripe but it's certainly "manufactured".
I was joking about WWE but F1 is not and has never been a sport. It's a fascinating engineering contest with some wonky rules. It's closer to Robot Wars than it is to the 400meter dash.
what agenda did he have?
not really. what happened today is akin to the ref deciding what is a goal and what isn’t a goal, despite having a clear rule set laid out in the rules.
I agree. But it's not black and white.
Besides, we all know Merc won't push overly hard. They'll be after leeway for the next few seasons and the rule changes. It's F1, they don't actually give a shit about rules being changed and the driver championship, they want to know what they'll get to help stay on top and not push this further.
Toto isn't a pussy, he's a c***.
That is that then. No way CAS overrules that.
But in my view, that merely means when the safety car should be used and not how it should be used. But I agree with others, it is frustratingly vague. Hopefully we see clearer rules in the future.
cant disagree with that
i’m not saying he had one. the fia have made it clear that the race director has authority to ignore certain rules if they want to. that means a bad race director, say a race director that has had most people moaning at him all year, can contrive a result as they seem fit, with maybe what brings the best stories or the highest social media engagement in mind.
Horner made that one clear both during and after the race tbf.
Ridiculous.
Scripting a spectacle over following standard procedure?
I doubt it. Look what this has done. Its like Sepp Blatter not wanting tech so that everyone is talking about the decisions.
C'mon Lewis, announce Formula E! This is probably as good a time to make the change as ever!
He's not saying has an agenda but saying that one with an agenda could make his own result.
I think he had an agenda though. He wanted a spectacle at the end of the race and ignored the rules to get that spectacle.
This is definitive of myself. Gave F1 a try, I really enjoy cars generally but watching so many laps can be slightly boring imo. Boxing, Football and NBA in no particular order.
It is a shame though irrespective of who won it would have been far more proficient if it was on the terms of racing solely.
completely agree
There will always be opinions in any sport and I’d quite happily say I have a differing opinion on silverstone but it’s irrelevant. Season is over, one of them was going to win and whoever it was deserves it because it’s been a pretty great season with every kind of drama you could think of.
Withdraw from f1... pull engines from mclaren aston and Williams
Leave them with 12 cars and throw loadsamoney at formula e
To be completely honest I would not want any championship to be decided on the whim of the racing director fixing it and creating a "miracle" in the final laps. For any team/driver.
What I am saying is that in any officiated sport the referees can change the result in case they wish to. So that does not make it different than other sports.
No, refs don't have overarching power over rules. They may apply them wrong or make mistakes, but they're not paid go against them because he feels like it
Would love a verstappen tweet
“don’t cha wish your tires were soft like me”
“don’t cha wish your tires were soft like me”
Better chance Max's girlfriend leaves him and fecks me instead.
He doesn’t get to make up new rules because he wants a more exciting ending though.
its not the same. it’s the same as the ref deciding a striker can pick the ball up and throw it into the goal if it means there’s more riding on the super sunday relegation 6 pointer next week. it’s shit and whether or not it meant your man won or not you should be concerned by it. it’s not good for anyone who watches it as a sport rather than a soap opera.
if you’re an f1 driver you’ve got a surprisingly high chance tbf.
So at the end of the day today..
- Red Bull drove a perfectly fair race, unlike what many feared..
- Lewis drove a perfect race individually
- Lewis was badly unlucky, Max was very lucky
- Red Bull was quick and decicive in their strategy, Mercedes wasnt
- FIA/Stewards made arguable decisions (dont they always?)
In todays race Max definetely was the luckier one, in other races it has been the other way around.. In the end over the whole season for both can be argued they deserve it...They were both miles above all the others for the whole season.
The best part of the whole race for me was the battle between Checo and Lewis, awesome racing from both!

Because they construct the cars. In that sense they are a manufacturer maybe. But its clutching at straws. F1 was a serious sport until Masi got involved.
This.
The people making this about Max vs Lewis are all the same, no matter where they are from. Just doing what they are supposed to, generating clicks and talk about that race and F1.
What it's really about, or should be, is a so-called "sport" that allows someone to change rules on the spot to suit the revenue stream. A "sport" where the team principles/managers are always in the ear of the referee. A "Sport" where not even the actual drivers don't fully know the rules as they not only change so frequently, but they have zero clarity on anything.
A "sport" where when in found to breach rules, the team principle is asked if they think the punishment is fecking fair
I dont think she'll do Marzepin tbf.
I hope it doesn't turn out she has gone through the whole paddock, know nothing about the girl

She was Daniil Kyvat's ex... Max's ex teammate. Even has a kid with him.
Make of that what you will...
