wow they were really prepared for the worst

Red flag with 4 laps left.
It was the only option if they didn't want to end under a safety car (if Michael Messy would respect the rules). In this case the red flag was the only option to let them race in a fair way

this was what i was hoping for when Latifi cashed, max and lewis both in brand new tires going at it.
they could have definitely reacted quicker rather being wishy washy with only a handful of laps remaining.

wow they were really prepared for the worst

they were ready for Max to put Lewis in the wall for a DNF today

 

[Sinner]

what do you guys think they should they have done actually?
red flag it and restart the race?
or should they have just finished the race behind the safety car with Lewis winning?

it seems like they fd up by deciding to not unlap the bmarkers and then reversing that
which was too late and they've already wasted several laps.

Probably red flag it... not normal standard operating procedure, but if drama's what you want, then that'd be the way. Standing start with 5 laps to go.

Just saw the footage of Lewis saying it was manipulated? Wow

 

[Sinner]

Oh, look... an award for Seb.

 

[DeadsetAce]

sadly, that's the Cam I remember from last year

As expected. I'm curious for the reasoning on the report
But it’s more interesting to see what the write up is. Going to the CAS?

 

[Sinner]

Going to the CAS?

They're internally discussing it.

 

[kobeoverbron]

that is true, letting 3 more cars overtake wouldn't have changed the outcome...

 

[noskey]

Forgot to hit record last night before bed and woke up to see there's just as much drama as expected ****, gonna have to wait for a broadcast replay to watch. Time to read back thru the past several pages.

Wonder what my boy, Jolyon has to say

 

[Bantz Lord T]

Reports are that the FIA has confirmed Max as WDC

 

[the natural mystic]

I still can’t believe that farce of an ending.

Masi literally unlapped everyone between Max and Lewis ensuring Lewis to be a sitting duck with 40 lap old tires. He also ensured that no else’s race matters. Absolute fraudulent.

 

[Coupé It]

Now I get it

 

[fluid hips]

Why did Lewis leave the inside open for Max to overtake?

 

[zeroregret]

Why did Lewis leave the inside open for Max to overtake?

I thinking he was sticking to the line and he had much older tires

 

[Bantz Lord T]

 

[chippedtoothsmile]

Why did Lewis leave the inside open for Max to overtake?

If he covers the inside max just gots around the outside. You gotta remember max had fresh SOFTS. Lewis had on 40+ HARDS. Dude was a sitting duck from the beginning it was just a matter of when

 

[haicheo]

MB screwed the pooch by not pitting in either one of the safety cars.

they lost the tactical battle. No way Max passes him if they had CLOSE to the same tyre wear.

Great race and season overall! Looking forward to new cars and the 2022 season.

Hopefully, they get to start the year in Australia. One of my favorite tracks.
