Name a race where not all were able?
What if you’re a sainz fan? Why didn’t he get the chance to challenge verstappen for a position? Why only some lapped cars moving aside?
Then he should have Red Flagged the race, let both men change tyres and sprint to the end.
Or, just let the cars stay unlapped. Max was on reds he would have taken them easily, and they were also obliged to move out of his way.
So many good options and he picks the most controversial one. What a tit.
No I appreciate it, and I love it turned out well for you!
It's the fake idiots who I don't have time for, you at least have a reason to gloat my dude
Lewis's fans, u can't make it up.. arguing a fact which I didn't even stated
I think constructor championship is real merit of that if u want to argue.
might not be sinister but it’s still not sport. the rules and past precendent would dictate the race finished under the safety car. shit way to end it but thems the rules. like the race starting and finishing under the safety car at spa. what actually happened was an ending that sold more tickets and brought in more ratings. that’s shit.

So you think Newey is wrong then?
All lapped cars should Have been told to go around That in itself is the error but it doesn’t affect the race result regardless in this instance.

i’m no lewis fan, i’m just quoting adrian newey who said his red bull was the best car over the course of the season. to paraphrase some deranged half wit’s words, why would a poster on a football forum know more about f1 than a guy who designs the cars?
Except it does. Because had that happened they wouldn’t have had time to bring the safety car in.
It does because they should have joined the back of the pack which would have meant that the race finished under the safety car.
It also does for the drivers who were stuck behind cars not allowed to unlap themselves...
Horner clearly asks him for a last lap shootout. Masi changes his plan, which people seem to be forgetting btw, and makes that happen. Horner repeats the same thing post match in his interviews.
Funny though how they get that last lap, but no RF and changes to the overlap rules. The agenda was there, to get the last lap going. That's the point, whether it's to benefit one team over another I doubt, but it was certainly to suit the tv/sponsors/moneymen.
It would have if he had followed the regulations. The safety car would have to stay out until the lap after all of the lapped cars got to the back of the pack. By that stage the race would have been over and Lewis would have won.
Agree. Red Bull were gambling left, right and centre hoping something would stick. They had to. Its all they had.
In the end, Michael Masi intervened to give them the win.
Exactly, you don't have to believe there was bias towards Max, but clearly the rules were bent to have more spectacle
Mercedes had the same opportunity to change tyres… At the end of the day, Lewis punished himself twice
he really is the worst.
Incorrect again
Could use a stickied post at this point
I'm just saying that best driver won the driver championship and best car won construtor championship. Everything else is personal opinion.
No not really. Anything they did would've benefitted Max in a way.
First instance, max gains track position if Lewis heads in to the pits. He stays out and Max gets fresh tyres to catch Lewis (which wasn't working so they made the right call here).
Second instance, Lewis heads into the pits, Max gets track position, and Max has fresher hards than Lewis did so might not have been able to overtake if the last lap happened. And we know the last situation that played out. Either way, safety car should've stayed out until the finish with this second instance.
You're a tad delusional
Mercedes couldn’t pit Lewis under the safety car because it would have given track position to Max and handed him the title if Masi followed the actual rules and the race had finished under a safety car. Also it wasn’t Lewis - it was the team - he was told not to pit. They were also completely right not to pit under the VSC as Lewis was matching Max’s pace even though he was on 26 lap newer tyres. It’s very simple stuff.
Verstappen beat Hamilton over a 22 race season despite having worse luck and a worse car.
That safety car was pure karma for Mercedes playing bowling with Verstappen during the summer.
Justice
The right man won

Definitely only watched the last 4 races.
There's a weird correlation between people supporting Barcelona and Max Verstappen
It was the right call by Merc.
Max would have known he couldn't match Lewis. You don't give Max track position or let him near Lewis knowing Max has an 'incident' in his arsenal.
All of the abuse has been directed at Masi and FIA, as much as he fecked up big time there should have been a protocol in place to stop it form happening.
I think he will step down but the sport is a right mess at the moment and it's in need of clean up before the new season starts.
masi un club
Watched every race since the mid 2000s, thank you for your input.
It's funny that the 2 races that had debacles with the safety car, the 2 lap race and this one both had Max winning.
I was just thinking I haven’t seen one max fan take the win in good grace
Dumbest post in a while. Verstappen won’t care one single bit, he won the race with luck and a few months ago he punctured from a win - shit happens. Overall, he won the Championship over Hamilton. The latter has a faster car, you need luck to win. Let’s not put this on some referee put under huge stress, Verstappen won because Latifi crashed. Really difficult to see who is 12 and who is an adult in many of the posts above. What is incredibly certain is that the same people would flip upside down if Hamilton won today after Latifi crashed and Verstappen was screwed after leading.
That's like saying a team has been outplayed for 89 mins... so giving the 2 penalties in injury time for no reason is ok
He won because the fia decided he should win
Presumably they don't like a black guy wearing a rainbow helmet in money making GPS in Saudi/ Abu Dhabi ... genuinley can't think of another reason why they chose to bend the rules today
such an open goal too. “shit way to win a race, glad my man won, i think he deserved it overall. roll on 2022 and some better clarity in the rules.”
Some of you take this really hard. Hehe
