Remember when max won a race without a single lap of racing?

VAR and Goal Line tech is actually useful. Hawkeye is VERY useful. Both are precise machines.
What happened over the weekend was a made-for-tv deus ex machina from humans.

Masi needs to be fired. If they wanted to end under green, you red flag immediately and bring everyone in. Sort it out without burning laps.

Yes, the classic “get over it” argument.

...except they’d look really stupid to take Hamilton out of the lead by pitting him, only for the race to end under safety car. They didn’t have a crystal ball and there’s no way they could’ve known with 100% certainty they would still have 1 lap of racing left; and if safety car procedures had been followed as…

Yes, because the jokers on the forums complaining about things day in and day out and calling folks childish names like “LuLu” are any different.

Ah, who’s to say it was wrong? If Lewis had pitted, Max wouldn’t have. If it had ended under yellows, Max then wins by default.

Except rules were broken to manufacture the finish. This article details which ones:

But then if the race finishes under SC Lewis loses because they pitted and gave up track position.  No way you give up position...whoever is in 2nd has the tactical advantage.

You’re all but admitting that the FIA made a mistake with their decision. How is it fair to Ferrari to only unlap the cars between Lewis and Max before letting the race continue, and not giving Carlos a fair shot at p2 or even p1? It’s not. The FIA didn’t care about fairness or rules today, they cared about a dramatic…

Surely you jest. He was 11 seconds ahead with 6 laps to go and Max was not gaining on him over the prior 3 laps. Zero chance he would have caught up. 

Nah. You EARN wins, you don’t DESERVE them.

Respectfully disagree. If HAM went in during SC VER would have stayed out and led the race. A crash with 5 laps left normally would have ended under SC. Merc made the right call but Masi went off on his own.

NASCAR ass FIA.

Yeah, that was absurd. The FIA handed Max that victory on a silver platter. Lewis had a better drive, had pace all race, and deserves the win. Max will forever have an asterisk next to this world championship in my book.

I try to always look at all the facts in an open minded unbiased way but I always come back to the same thing. Fuck Max and fuck Horner

Counterpoint:

Max is the distillation of all the worst traits common in F1 drivers:

Tucks his ears into flatbrim hats.

Self indulgent?   That’s rich.
