I just can’t see how allowing just those 5 cars to unlap themselves is fair or upholds the actual rules. It seems part of the rules were picked to give us this final bit of drama, which only had one outcome.
Fair play to Max, he’s been brilliant and RB took their chances and played a key role in him winning.

Sounded like someone with a spine.Masi trolling Toto
If Masi has a job next year..........well actually he will probably have a promotion.
“We went car racing”
Well they make the rules up as they go along so kinda?
Every driver will be thinking the same thing. A championship decided thanks to the FIA.
Same, and unless you're Dutch, I've no idea why anyone would be a Max fan.
Can we ban this word, I fecking hate it !
And Maaxxx scoreddd.
Drive To Survive! Oh my!
bingo. mercedes fecked up thinking the rules would be applied fairly
should have pitted him when they had the chance. what a joke
Ah okay, got there in the end though.
Is there any precedent for only letting some lapped cars through?
I am a huge Hamilton fan and my respect for him has just grown and grown in recent years.To be fair though, feck Lewis
Some of the pathetic souls hating on the one guy on the grid that combines grit, skill, a background not based on money or F1 heritage and who's fought tooth and nail to get where he is should be keep quiet.
Honestly it was weird that he first decided not to let them past and then did it anyway a few laps later. If they had decided immediately to let the lapped cars pass all would have been well. The decision not to do that wasn't right. It's unlucky for Hamilton and just extremely bad strategically from Mercedes.
If I was Mercedes I'd pull out of F1 tomorrow and take all my engines and parts with me.
The problem with the current rules is it gives the advantage to second place because they can afford to do what the leading car doesn't. I think they need to look at either forcing mandatory pits during safety cars or giving a time penalty for doing it.
I'm not a max fan...
Wonder about his thoughts about turn 6 then? As you said, he is officially merc now.
Haha still bitter about Alonso or something? Red Bull took their chance, fair play. But this race demonstrates that F1 just make shit up, ridiculous “sport”.
Was a much better car on that particular lap to be fair.
There's over 10 years age difference between them. I'm sure Lewis acts differently today than he did 10 years ago, too?
More like Inept, this lot make FIFA look like professionals
Motor racing isn't a pure form of competition to begin with.
Nope. They've just made up their own rules. Nothing about the decision was correct. Literally everything they done there they got wrong.
Nah, it isn't, sorry.
Baku, Silverstone, Hungary. Title should have been wrapped up two races ago, save for tyres exploding and Mercs crashing into him. Today was karma.
Unprecedented to only let 5 cars through.
I do think they should have allowed overtaking though, but only 5 is the contentious part
My bad, should be hobbers instead then or I just can't keep up with who's who now
The sport is a complete farce with that ending.
It is not a sport it is just an entertainment spectacle like WWF.

He's done F1, go have some fun before he's too old.
Netflix in Masi's ear at the end? That was closer to wrestling then a sport.
Yes indeed. Really don't think I could have been such a gentleman as Hamilton. Well done to both of them but I have to say that it leaves me with a sour taste in my mouth.
Not that Verstappen did anything wrong.
But. How can the stewards change their minds so quickly.
Everyone involved in motorsport is thinking the same.
Turn 6 and what happened at the end there aren't remotely comparable
Yeah, we want to end it racing… just not with the way it was after 50 odd laps of racing.
