It’s unbelievable that both drivers really behaved well and drive great races but the FIA still independently found a way to **** it all up and ruin the race and the season.
Have to agree with you there. And just why. RB won on strategy if the regular restart procedure was followed, or MB won on strategy if they left the SC to finish, but FIA somehow made it controversial by screwing around with overtaking.
Exactly. They just did what they always do and half arsed their own rules and fudged it. It’s a more farcical end to the season than any of us could have imagined!
Verstappen and Hamilton should both hold their heads up high though. None of this was either of their fault.
If the race was 59 laps long then all the procedure can play out properly and although it’s tough for Hamilton, Verstappen can win controversy free. Masi was in a tough spot as the championship was resting on his decision, but he abandoned protocol out of desperation to get the mess we got.
Ah well. Hopefully the joker goes back to working on Aussie lawnmower racing or whatever he was doing before he was given a job he’s not capable of doing!
