I hope Mercedes’ appeal. 
 

 

They won’t take the title off Vestappen so there’s little merit in appealing.

Nice to see Horner's mummy at the race with him.

The cars always unlap themselves, it would've been a farce if they hadn't 

Had they ALL been allowed to unlap themselevs, as they have always done and as per the rules, then the safety car would have come in the following lap and there wouldn't have been a racing lap.

 

I think anyway...

Nico can't wipe his smile off his face

Had Hamilton given back the illegal overtake on the first lap, could we have actually seen this incident in reverse?

They ripped up the rule book just to create a show. Nothing more to say really

Yes all them.  The Safety Car is also supposed to stay out for another lap to allow the grid to settle itself.  Neither of those things happened.  Masi is done.

 

To allow 'Racing' is admirable on paper, but we'd had 50+ laps or racing prior to that to which Verstappen was resoundly beaten.  

 

F1 is in big trouble after this.  You cannot run a multi billion dollar sport in this manner.

Ultimately, it's damaging for the sport.  The rule book can be ripped up on a whim by the authorities as and when they see fit.  

 

We won't see Masi next season.

Yeah, because they’d have needed to have cleared away enough too.

 

I suppose in hindsight a red flag might have been fairer to both… but that would have been an artificial decision because that was always a safety car incident.

This kind of result is amazing, gives hope to all the kids out there that anything can happen. If you have a dream, believe in it! You can do it too, man!

Interesting tactics from Mercedes to bottle the championship

As someone who’s new to F1 I don’t really understand what’s just happened, how can it be that Hamilton is leading by 12 seconds & then through no fault of his own is then head to head on a final lap? 

It’s literally the same as playing a full game of football, being 10-0 up and someone calling ‘next goal wins’.

 

Ridiculous.

You realise they didn't wheel the safety car out for this race? This isn't rally mate this is wheel to wheel racing 

[Asha]

Hamilton won the Formula 1 2021 fashion championship at least so don’t cry too much, Hamilton fans! 

[Super_horns]

Would a red flag been a fairer option 

 

Re start the race from the grid ?

I’m talking about how the safety car situation played out. It wasn’t done right and it engineered a situation that had the rules been followed, would never have happened.

They only had to remove the car though, the barrier didn't need repairing 

[Asha]

Considering the last seven years have been fixed for Hamilton to dominate, it’s nice for something to go against Mercedes for a change.
