Imagine if this had affected the constructors championship? That would 100% go all the way to CAS for the money involved.

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 was written. The dark hand has anointed the successor.
as a wiseman once said, “oh yeah, justice is done. not actual justice, but what i wanted to happen, which is basically the same thing.”
I'm going from this to watch snooker...yay.
Siuuuuuuuuu
Come on man surely with 17k posts you can do better than trolling…Everybody not following Lewis disagree's with this.
It's Damon 94 all over again
Salty english fans and everybody else lapping it up
Come on they're taking the piss now, Red Bull.
"Any cars ... " (that have been overtaken) doesn't mean ALL cars? Of course it does or it would say "some" or "whatever the Race Director" says on the day.
Then to add the Race Director has the power to ignore written rules... WHY would an independent Race Director want to ignore the rules and say "yeah but I'm allowed to"?
It's CAS and I'm not sure how they'll go t.b.h
At the end of the day, the best driver won
10 frames down, "Next pot wins"
See you here in january when the CAS verdict comes in
A big IF, but if their cars are comparably matched again I wonder if Lewis will drive differently starting the first race of the season? I think he needs to put a stop to Max doing late dives and sticking his nose in on corners.
Max -
Tyre failure at Baku
Taken out at Silverstone by Lewis requiring engine change and penalty
Taken out by Bottas at Hungary
(potential lost points 75-78)
Lewis fans - LEWIS DESERVED THIS TITLE BEST DRIVER ALL SEASON!!!!!
Like feck he did.

Yep.
Only they can't change rules to suit. This was a rule change with a minute to go. It's why F1 isn't a real sport. The sad thing is, if entertainment was all they cared about over integrity, why is it so fecking boring 99% of the time? They need to get their shit together!
Michael pleaseKarma is a massive bitch
Two titles Lewis threw away from winnable positions in his career. He really should have 9
Mercedes feck themselves by not pitting Lewis twice and try to blame everybody else for their feckery. I hope this breaks Toto
please Michael!Jezza.
It's not a sport then. If the Race Director can make the rules up on the fly then I don't know what it is but it's not a sport.
Bases on every poll this season Max has bigger following then Lewis...
Yeah, because the Dutch have definitely covered themselves in glory
Well it's a Canadian that caused all this mess. So he could claim the 15th place trophy
In a perfect world theyd make them team mates next year and let them fight it out in the same car. Who wouldn't want to see that.
It was glorious wasn't it
What an end to an epic season.We all thought it came down to the last race, who'd have thought it'd be the last lap
Well with the new regulations next year is up in the air. Lewis is a better person than me because I would 100% walk away from the sport if I lost a world championship under those circumstances. F1 drivers are incredible and no driver on the grid deserves to lose a world title like that.
So going a bit off topic here. With the new rules for next season, will that help the other teams get closer to Mercedes and Red Bull or with the gap widen? Would love to see more than 2 teams competing for titles.
As a complete neutral with no interest in F1 who tuned in today for the occasion, i appreciate that my opinion means next to nothing.
But...racing is a fairly straightforward concept and it seemed like a complete farce from the outside looking in.

This thread is like reading the RAWK thread when we won the CL in 08. You can actually see where all the salty Ham fans lose their collective shit when they realise that Ham and Merc have fecked it.
fecking glorious
And on top of that Toto pleading like a prison bitch on the Radio on that last lap. My god, stick it in my veins!!!
You must not have watched Dutch referee Bas Nijhuis. He has a completely unique set of rules.
You think a referee being terrible at getting a decision right is the same as one actually changing a rule to suit tv audiences, the media and sponsors?
I mean, come on. He's allowed to change rules based on what he thinks at the time, apparently, is that a thing in football or any other sport?
Random car (Latifi) crashes. Safety car comes out for safety purposes. Safety car means all cars are grouped together. This takes away the lead Hamilton had built up. That happens quite often. As it happens, the guy in second (Verstappen) pitted for fresh tires, which means he has more grip, can go faster. Car in lead (Hamilton) had old tires too, but chose not to pit. Then shortly before the end the race director let's all the cars between 1 & 2 (all were one lap behind) unlap themselves so they wouldn't interfere with the race for the win once the safety car pitted and racing could resume.
That's controversial because usually either all cars or no cars are allowed to unlap themselves before racing. Mercedes say that's the rules, Red Bull says that's not what the rules say. Race director states all teams have agreed in the past that it was highly desirable for the race to end in a 'green' condition' rather than behind a safety car. Letting all cars go past would likely have led to another lap behind the safety car, and there was only that one lap left.
Extra frustration from everyone because the race win also means the championship win.
Genuinley hope merc pull the plug with a day to go and leave them with 12 cars next year
Plus sink ton of money into formula e at the same time

Yes, it was only the English fans in Abu Dhabi cheering on Hamilton. That's exactly what I am saying. Although I guess they didn't get to cheer too long.
Let’s see what CAS decides. As far as I understand the rules it’s legal.
Lewis...
Yeah, some of the shit thrown at 'English' fans is pathetic. The Dutch are just as biased, if not more.Yeah, because the Dutch have definitely covered themselves in glory
Claiming 'salty fans' as a reason for being against a dumb decision is about as ludicrous as it gets. Absolute toddler logic but then we have man-child in charge of RB who always whines until it goes his way and we had it happen again here.
we have a precedent of rules don’t matter. that makes things spicy for next year.
Anybody saying the decision doesn’t affect the sport are clearly not being objective.
Sport should never be artificially creating drama. That’s what it was today and it takes away massively from a maiden world championship win by guy that didn’t really do anything wrong.
Rules need to be changed before not all kicks off again, because such big moments should never be decided by people who can decide “whatever they want”.

Most definitely Still lots of handbags to last the week at least.
NFL?
and the fia.
F1 2021 - feck you and I’ll see you next year.
I really hope so. This season has dragged me back in after decades of indifference - a fight between even 4 teams for the championship would be far preferable if rare.
