The rules weren't ignored, as such they weren't changed, and thus they favoured nobody. There was a race incident, that caused the safety car to be deployed, the track become clear, the race continued. |

That is not what happened though, the ref didn't cause the crash or made the safety car come out unnecessarily. Sure it has been a season of many controversial events. If you look at the entirety of the year Max has had more podium finishes, he definitely is a winner. He has also had many controversial decisions not favouring him and vice versa. You and I must have been looking at different thing, Max was super excited. My gosh just look at him party with Martin Garrix. What isn't exited is Toto bringing out the lawyer immediately. I think that was yet again a stupid Mercedes strategic action. If someone did that to me, I'd switch off listening to them immediately. Anyway, its done. Max is the deserved world champion, he raced hard this year. Hopefully next year Lewis is still in it to give him some competition. I'm looking forward to what Red Bull can do with the Honda IP and engineers with their own engine next year. As whilst it was good, Mercedes's engine was just awesome. |

Could you honestly keep a straight face when saying that ? The rules were clearly ignored AND changed on the fly - there were 2 options - Undo all the lapped cars or leave them all in place. Either has president and could be argued as fair. Third (and most likely correct) option, is the boring one of finishing under the safety car. The decision Masi made clearly favoured Max in a big way. As soon as it was announced, every single commentator said the same thing. Surely you can't look at it objectively and consider it fair ? Because of an unrelated incident a 12 second advantage and 5 car s of traffic are wiped out and your opponent is on fresh, soft rubber. I think Max is a worthy champion, but not a fair winner of that race unfortunately. |

We clearly disagree, and none of this armchair experts arguing matters either. You know I'm right, Max is the champion, the FIA has ruled. The facts are all out there...

You do know that people from the UK are Europeans as well Anyway nice for Lewis, hope it fits with his political views. Comes across as hypocritical of him accepting that title. |
