Get innn

 

Off to CAS we go then

 

No where near finished

[kingkisnorbo]

I expect Masi will be making a communicado officiel at some point tonight. 

[kingkisnorbo]

Interested to see what the report says. 

[The Horse's Mouth]

You'd think a team who have won every championship for the last 8 years would show a bit of class, but unfortunately only Lewis has done that

With roles reversed?  Keep dreaming. 

 

This goes to the next level up.

 

Somebody is walking, most likely Masi.

Verstappen was always going to be a F1 world champion at some point. Young, focused, determined and skilled as a driver. He has been a hothead in the past but it's a learning curve. That's the same path as Hamilton.

This sky guy is always so cringe, but he's absolutely drowning trying to fill time

I would not advocate for anyone winning a world championship in the courts, I don't like Lewis but I wouldn't have begrudge him the win today. I never seen a petulant reaction to lsoing a competition like this ever, if this was "Karen horner" you'd be having a field day and quite rightly 

 

 

Saying that if they let the appeal go, I'll let them off

Yes, Masi fukked up the race

[foxes_rule1978]

Masi is getting the sack; it wasn’t max’s fault they f**ked up and totally changed the rules 

[foxfanazer]

[kingkisnorbo]

Masi’s comments on the report are interesting. In the pre race meetings they agreed that where possible the race should be finished under green conditions. 

[The Horse's Mouth]

Sounds like Merc are banged to rights by the sounds of the defence, I think them lodging an appeal looks a bit more unlikely than an hour ago 

[Stinkenzo]

It's a shame because he's a more than worthy winner, but he'll forever be known as the guy who was handed it on a plate by the race director

[st albans fox]

it’s not Max’s fault that masi screwed up

 

even if they say the race was unsatisfactory and set aside the entire result, max is still WC.

 

unless they can prove red bull did anything wrong, max is WC.  It’s crap for Lewis but just like if a ref screws up, unless both sides agree to a replay it’s tough sh1t. (And they can’t rerun a GP anyway).

 

max is a great driver. Lewis is a great driver.  Max got lucky today. C’est la vie.

The race director will walk tomorrow, just like Rosberg did 5 years ago.

He won't though. Only a couple of years ago people said Liverpool will only be remembered as covid winners, but people never talk about it anymore.

People always say this about an "asterisks" next to a win, but people forget these things pretty quickly in reality though. Maybe for a year or two people will remember it, but in 5, 10, 20 or 50 years time people only remember Verstappen as WC with maybe an interesting footnote about the last race which only the aficionados are aware of.

I remember people saying the same about Rosberg's championship, but most people just think of him as a World Champion now,

He needs to resign.

No way would this have happened under Charlie Whiting.

He will be remembered for overtaking his championship rival on the last lap, only people with an agenda will see it the other way

Who the heck was saying that with a straight face?

Funnily enough the same lot who are saying it about Max's win, again credit to Hamilton he was a lot more salty with the rosberg loss than this, but maybe there was less bitterness here

Everton and Man United fans mainly 

[Legend_in_blue]

 

Quite conclusive tbf.  End poll. 

 

[foxfanazer]

10 lap playoff tomorrow for just those two. Winner takes all

[adam]

Jesus. What a terrible way to finish it off. There is no way that should of been allowed to end like that.
