That was a tragic and messy way to finish it all.

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.
It's a fluke he won it, nothing deserved when he was literally whining about how the FIA always helps Lewis when they just make up the rules to give him the title this year.
The convention is usually to let all the lapped cars pass and rejoin the back of the pack. Because the time taken to do that would have left the race finishing under SC, they made the call to not let lapped cars pass. However, this left backmarkers between Lewis and Max.
Then Red Bull have presumably had a whinge and Masi has then specifically let the backmarkers in Max's way past, and not all the others - effectively gifting the title to Max because of the tyre situations.
Pah... I'm.past the point of caring... If that kets somebody become an f1 champion then I'm done with it
Already cancelled 100k hospitality at Silverstone that we have had for 20 years... bring on goodwood
I remember my first F1 race.
It won't change the result. Mercedes are going to create a major shit storm though.
For all the rights and wrongs the decisions this season do seem to favour manufactured entertainment rather than following the rules as the should be - for both teams.
I also really don't like hearing the teams speak to the race directors complaining about every single decision.
But I'm getting old maybe.

Well, I haven't really been following F1 for years now but it definitely used to be the norm to let lapped cars through. It's more than a little odd that in the end only five were allowed, I'll give you that.
Wholeheartedly agree about the 'too much off track shite'.
Class interview from Lewis, credit to him.
I would think its either un-lap all, or nothing would be the rules. You can't just make things up as you go because you want to see two specific cars race each other.
Something needs to be done about Massi and the FIA.
You’re such a fecking meme
No way it is changed, nobody will want to touch it for fear of even more controversy. It is over.
Very mature reaction from Lewis in the post race interview. Doubt Max would've shown the same sportsmanship.
That was Liverpool levels of luck, the games where they are set to drop points and the goalkeeper throws the ball into the net for them in the last second
Very mature interview by Lewis. So close. Would he have guarded against Max if he'd pitted when Max pitted for the 2nd time?

The Hamilton's are absolute class acts.
Agree.
Lewis is a class act.
So you pick pure arrogance over pure arrogance.
Okie dokie
hamilton’s interview at the end is something max would be incapable of if the roles were reversed.
FIA wanted an exciting end, not a fair end.
Stupid from Merc.
Insane from the FIA.
But great and opportunistic by Red Bull and great driving from Max. Well done to them
I hope Lewis gets his 8th though, as that’s been stolen from him (at no fault of RB may I add)

What a finish
Deserved champion.
Latifi driver of the day no question about it.

Hamilton stop being nice you prick.
He is. I'm baffled how disliked he is.
Did it finish behind a safety car?
Such a farcical way to end the race.
You’re such a fecking meme
I was assuming that he would pit
Imagine if the ref ruled a goal offside only to allow it afterwards just because the striker cried and said it's unfair.
In terms of the FIA, never attribute to maliciousness what can be put down to incompetence.
Masi is totally out of his depth. There has been absolutely awful decisions both ways this year

No point in discussing with the Hamilton fanboys on here, more biased than EPL ones. Probably the same people tbh.
First thing Lewis says is congratulations to Max. Max said feck all about Hamilton. Oh yeah - I forgot he can’t say Mercedes or Hamilton any more the entitled cnut.
Fair play to Lewis. After that bullshit, he still shows class in front of the camera. I'd be absolutely raging in his shoes.
To those asking why Hamilton didn't pit, I think he would've been behind Verstappen if Max didn't pit. And the FIA could've gone the other way with their call at the end. Maybe the FIA wanted it to go racing to the end, but they've essentially chosen the world champion by making the calls they did.
It’s just pandering to modern life and fans, people prefer drama over fairness
