[Andyk]

Well, not sure what to say about that.

Stolen! I suspect not heard the end of this.

Of you guys that watch regularly and understand the rules, how is it fair to lose a 15 second lead under safety car and then restart?

 

[mjheathcote]

Was quite stressful hearing it on the radio!!

 

[Andyk]

I am sure they make the rules up as they go sometimes…Or whoever shouts loudest over the radio. Do you notice they seem quite scared when the team principle talks to them. I not sure this is over yet…Well race is but I am sure there will be all sorts happening in the back ground.

 

[dickygrace]

I don’t particularly like Lewis, but I do like sport to be just and fair. Doesn’t seem fair at all.

 

[mjheathcote]

What about the swerving down the straight which isn't allowed?

It's not fair, as a fan it really hurts but you have to admit errors and Mercedes dropped the ball on tyre strategy leaving them venerable to a restart situation. Additionally Bottas was no where near on pace to provide assistance or force RBR into a different strategy.

Can they give an after race time penalty so Hamilton then wins?

 

[jasst]

So many dodgy decisions today, Charlie whiting you are sorely missed.

 

[dickygrace]

Yes they can do what they like as the rules are open to all sorts of interpretations.

 

[Lozzer]

He won’t catch and pass Lewis in one lap anyway. Hamilton wins.

I’m not bothered about Lewis, I get that you would be if you’re a fan of his. But an unfair sport is pointless. Was it fair or not?

 

[dickygrace]

I wrote that when they said he’d 5 cars to pass to get behind Lewis. They then changed their mind. What a joke.

 

[midlifecrisis]

Race director needs to be consistent, decisions off the track should not affect the race that perversely.

But well done to Max and Lewis, both battled hard throughout the season and F1 was the winner.

As a non-fan I’d say F1 was a massive loser from that debacle.

 

[Markc]

What a farce. I don’t much like either Hamilton or Verstappen but it’s just become a spectacle rather than a fair sport. Create drama at any cost. Total bollox.

 

[Andyk]

Mercedes will challenge as the rules say if you let the back markers through under the safety cars you let them all through but they only let 5 and then started so they had one lap of racing.
