That was absolute bullshit. That was my reading, although I'm not across the detail of the regs etc. Don’t worry. Race control aren’t either. |

Only 5 cars allowed to unlap? Massi is a fuxking joke

FIA making up the rules at the end, either all the unlapped cars unlap or none of them do, this is very dodgy.

Think this one could last a while. You can’t make one decision then reverse it. This imo |

The FIA just can’t help themselves.
Sadly ruined the best season of F1 in recent history.

Amazing season that was 100% destined to end in a massive clusterfuck.
You’ve got to love it.

Just insane. I think he was just about the driver of the season on balance. They've both been amazing, both champions.

Deep down he is going to know he didn’t win this fairly.

Interesting if they chose only some cars to unlap... were they the only cars 1 lap down?

If he'd have let them go with 5 cars between them for one lap, it would have been equally farcical.
The issue really is that they initially decided they weren't going to do it, and then did. But what do you expect when the stewards have been doing it all season?

It was engineered by the fia for Max to win. No other possible outcome from that final lap.

I can completely understand F1 wanting to get a final lap or so in. Having the climactic race to an amazing season end under a safety car would have so lame, but the whole thing was just managed and communicated so badly. Typical F1 race control this year.

Rock and a hard place for them with the whole world watching. But they've once again showed the need for a consistent set of stewards by changing their mind on a sixpence like that. |

Fully expect the team 2-0 down in the Champions League final this season to be given 3 penalties in the 90th minute 'for the show'.

It's the change of mind that bothers me. Make a decision and stick to it.

That’s not true though as they always argue safety takes priority over everything. |

Very fake, contrived “excitement”
It’s got people taking but you can’t say that’s how sport should be. It’s not WWE
F1 lost any amount of integrity it had left today

So leave the lapped cars there, and let max pass them on his new softs. It's all bollocks

FIA should get some lessons from the WWE in how to script the result they want.
