Its always nice to let the underdog have a day in the sun otherwise the world would be a very dull place

Happens all the time in my line of business. Too often they won’t even state the rules, just state whether you are compliant or not. No reasons give. |

The better man didn’t win today. The issue I have is Mercedes made a strategic decision based on the rules….if every lapped car had to overtake then it wouldn't have happened in time so the race would have finished behind the safety car. If they didn’t do that (which usually happens when it rains) then !ax would have had to lap 5 cars before trying to pass Lewis.

Got to agree with you here, we cant have race results dictated by race control, neither driver controlled the outcome here. Range Rover 4.2 Supercharged 2006

It’s a team sport. The team making the right decisions won here. Together with a bit of luck through events of a crash of someone else. But hey that is all part of it. |

Merc could have pitted under both the VSC and full SC

Even George Russel said its unacceptable. I think since Charlie gave it up masi this year whilst he has shaken things up and kept it entertaining sometimes for Lewis and sometimes for Max, masi has been way too inconsistent with flexing the rules.

I agree with the "let them Race" call

If Mercedes’ had put in some newer rubber their much faster car would have easily won this. They had a choice, they made it, and it didn’t pay off. It was still not easy for Max to overtake Lewis.

That is true but no one was expecting the sc and the back markers told too go past. They said at the start of the lap lapped cars are not too over take then changed their minds mid lap.

Just finished watching for the third time, its a travesty a world champion decided by stupid decisions by race control, not acceptable.
