Bloke is a nasty piece of work not just to his wife but to Max in his youth as well1 -
We have heard the last of it the same as you get when you get a rubbish ref that influences the game.1

Let’s be honest. Verstappen is an excellent driver and, over the course of the season, he’s probably been the best driver and, on balance deserves it.
I’m not happy about it and I’m not happy about the circumstances. Lewis Hamilton showed the control under pressure to steal the championship from under Verstappen’s nose. For some reason, Masi felt his duty was to hinder one team and help another in order to manufacture a grand finale. Completely wrong. He decided to award the title to his mate Horner.5 -
Disgusting. Feel for Lewis if that’s the case.rina said:
In short-Max pitted on a virtual safety car, mercedes gambled and left Lewis out. Then a safety car about 7 laps out, Max got another free pit stop leaving Lewis on old tyres. Masi had to choose between letting all the lapped cars through which would have meant no restart and a Lewis win or letting none of them through which probably leads to a Lewis win. Instead he made up a 3rd option and let just 5 of them through so Max started next to Lewis on his new tyres and beat him in a 1 lap raceAndyessgee90 said:Out for the old dears birthday, was keeping up with it but bbc not actually said what the mess is about.

Nothing in here about the Clerk of the Course CHOOSING which lapped cars will un lap themselves - it’s either all or none
Whats the betting the Yanks who own F1 now engineered this2 -
Fair play to Lewis for not acting like a child like Max did in the previous race and walk off the podium.
Masi should be relieved of his duties for the 2022 season. Joke ending.9 -

I've always hated the safety car rules anyway, in no other sport can a lead evaporate like that due to external factors.
Yes it makes races more "exciting" but this is meant to be a sport, not a Simon Cowell reality show.10 -
Yes, he bent the rules but that's what dodgy refs do. He would say that he allowed them to race safely. The procedures/rules seem to be meaningless to the bloke but he is effectively the ref. We could say the push on Dobson for Shrewsbury's winner was incredibly poor reffing but even though it was clearly wrong, the game is lost on that.Lordflashheart said:Nothing in here about the Clerk of the Course CHOOSING which lapped cars will un lap themselves - it’s either all or none

Michael Masi. You got this:

Might be clutching at straws but was Verstappen now weaving when defending from Hamilton? - Changed racing line about three times0

Not a F1 fan at all. That sport is so clearly fixed. I also find it truly bizarre how you’d want an Englishman to lose in any international sport, if that’s what you want to call F1. Justify it however you like but it’s pretty strange.Leeds_Addick said:SUPER SUPER SUPER MAX16 -
I think Mercedes are in a no win situation here.
They appeal, look like sore losers and I feel they won't win it anyways.
I hope they show the same class that LH has shown tonight, regardless of the outcome.

Yeah it’s ridiculous, plus the fact you can put during it as well.killerandflash said:I've always hated the safety car rules anyway, in no other sport can a lead evaporate like that due to external factors.
Yes it makes races more "exciting" but this is meant to be a sport, not a Simon Cowell reality show.Hamilton drove like an animal on old tyres to keep Verstappen 12 seconds behind yet the title is decided on some bloke at the back crashing into a wall and then the race director changing the rules.18 -
farce, fix or both ? .. first time I have watched F1 for a loooong time and I won't bother for another long time. So, have I got this right, Hamilton leads the race by a country mile, a crash brings out the 'safety car', the cars all bunch up, irrespective of the distance between them over the preceding 50+ laps, and then the race is (seemingly arbitrarily) restarted for a one lap 'sprint' to decide the whole season ..
so why bother with the previous 50 odd laps, just have the two main protagonists behind a 'safety car' which then gets out the road and a one lap race decides it .. fucking rubbish, a waste of petrol, tyres, plastic, metal AND my time

I think after seeing Leclercs defence against Bottas they obviously weren't really policing the amount of weaves.ForeverAddickted said:Might be clutching at straws but was Verstappen now weaving when defending from Hamilton? - Changed racing line about three times1 -
Yeah definitely clutching mate. Weaving was the least of his crimes. 😂ForeverAddickted said:Might be clutching at straws but was Verstappen now weaving when defending from Hamilton? - Changed racing line about three times0 -
To me, admittedly ignorant of the finer points of the sport, the shenanigans at the start when Lewis Hamilton took a short cut was balanced out by the shenanigans at the end.
Max Verstappen is a worthy world champion because he was brave enough to visit Kwik fit when Hamilton stayed out on the track.
I like Hamilton and wanted him to win, but there is some compensation that the ultra nationalists are pissed off.7 -

You need help.13 -
Wanted Hamilton to win and, apart fromn the safety car, would have. But put a fiver on Max to win the championshipo early on - so £43 better off. Happy days.0

Mercedes should have also taken advantage of free out stop and changed tyres like Red Bull it cost Lewis big time.1

I kind of agree, but you could argue they have a cast iron case.ozaddick said:I think Mercedes are in a no win situation here.
