He's using the laces! I knew he bloody would!Get Max to throw a kettle over a pub, that's the real quiz.

I do, I am now convinced both of them have a 100% solid case.
So is it just always the case that whoever is leading a race when the SC is deployed always loses any gap accumulated before then?
like the race leader could be 1,5, or 10 seconds in the lead but as soon as SC is deployed it’s just given up and the race resumes with 2nd place right back with him?
if so… why?
This needs to be done ASAP. They can do count back can't they.
Hamilton was 11 seconds ahead with 4/5 laps remaining and Max was not making much headway.
The facts are that Latifi did crash and Hamilton finished the race without any slow puncture.
The intention of the SC is to bunch up the field. Have them drive as a pack in a controlled manner so that the cause for the SC, usually a crash site, can be repaired or cleaned. Wouldn't be safe for the workers if the cars weren't bunched upSo is it just always the case that whoever is leading a race when the SC is deployed always loses any gap accumulated before then?

It’s fecking crackers.. the more I think about it, the more I can’t work out why Masi did what he did. He knew that by making that call, he was handing Max the title. Lewis was a sitting duck on those tyres vs Max’s.
This is so shit for everyone. Red Bull have done nothing wrong here
Yeah that's the case, it's just part of the race really which hasn't really caused an issue until today.So is it just always the case that whoever is leading a race when the SC is deployed always loses any gap accumulated before then?

Horner was on the radio pressuring him to let Max get back to second and he yeilded
I have no problem with this concept, I do have a problem when team leaders try to persuade FIA in their decision-making when to remove the safety car.So is it just always the case that whoever is leading a race when the SC is deployed always loses any gap accumulated before then?

That any of them can contact the race director like that is just insaneDon't forget Toto was on the radio pressuring him not to red flag the race earlier also...
Hopefully tonight UAE time, so less than 2 hours to come up with something.Tonight UK time? It’s what, 10pm in UAE?
If you read his post and have to ask why that was my reaction then perhaps he’s not the only one.
It was unsafe to let the other cars unlap themselves according to Masi as people were still on the track so how should it have been in earlier?Safety car should’ve been in earlier anyway. I was surprised they even let them race for 1 lap. I thought they’d finish under SC.
Priceless seeing that ass Wolff raging around.
Not really, void any laps after the breaking of protocolCan't imagine they can declare a new winner based in the official not adherence to rules. Otherwise it would be predicting the future I.e what would have happened theoretically.
So you don't believe in free speech then.

See your problem with that statement is the lapped cars were allowed to pass, and therefore, the safety car should've ended at the finish line.Problem is. To strip max of it would be unfair on the basis he did nothing wrong.
He raced to instructions. Whether right or wrong.
So many variables could have happened. Hamilton could have spun, Max could have gotten past the back markers and took Hamilton out. We don't know. All we do know is who crossed the line first.
Either Max wins it or there needs to be another way
Both of these are good changes they should make.I think they need to sever that link between the team bosses and the race director while a race is ongoing. Serves no purpose.
Or make the race directorship more like a panel of 3 people so there's hopefully less ability to pressurise.
Can't imagine they can declare a new winner based in the official not adherence to rules. Otherwise it would be predicting the future I.e what would have happened theoretically.
Imagine if they retrospectively give Max a 5 second penalty for the overtake, then Red Bull protest Hamilton's pass off track and he gets a retrospective 5 second penalty as well.
Obviously that's like the most farcical of all the possible outcomes. The lapped cars stuff is probably what's going to end up at CAS whichever way the FIA go.

You have just got to look at Spa, gifting points to Verstappen. Then Jeddah with Verstappens reckless driving, now this. It’s a joke, I’m a fan of the sport an not an individual but in this case Hamilton has been well and truly robbed.
No, it would just be deeming the race illegitimate from the end of the 57th lap with the standings as they were which is exactly the result the SC leading them to the checkered flags would have been anyway.Can't imagine they can declare a new winner based in the official not adherence to rules.

Thats not true. There was one more lap, anything could have happened, SC or not.If they adhere to their own rules the race is over because it would have finished behind the SC (which has happened a fair few times).
Thats not how it works. You cant arbitraty select a finish point.No, it would just be deeming the race illegitimate from the end of the 57th lap with the standings as they were which is exactly the result the SC leading them to the checkered flags would have been anyway.
