@@BullmastiffForce what presents did Mercedes get from the FIA? You really should read the rule book over Christmas. The 10 second penalty was an appropriate penalty for Lewis. The rules state that it's the action not the consequence that determines the penalty. 10 seconds was an appropriate penalty. Unlike Max's brake check on Lewis. Which the rules state there should be severe repercussions in the next race and points on the driver's licence. Max got the two points but faced no repercussions that either affected his finishing position in Jeddah or starting position at YM. Just like after Monza Max was able to concurrently serve the 3 grid penalty and the engine penalty. So RBR were able to get a completely new engine and all the other bits and bobs and the grid penalty from Monza was eaten up. The FIA let that one slide. I'm not going to go through the rule changes pre season. The double header at the Red Bull ring. The incident at Brazil Etc.

I think he was making a point. I doubt if he was really questioning whether P2 would be behind P1 in the safety car queue. He had been questioning the decision to stay out since the early VSC. He seemed to be amazed his advantage wasn't enough to justify a pit even after 40 laps of dominance. I might be biased but I kind of hear his radio messages as like "Oh he's right behind me? On new tires? Good job guys" And honestly from his chair I feel like he could almost feel trolled by them polling him on which tires he'd like to pit onto under safety car.

No matter who you are a fan of, in all my 40 years of watching F1 this was possibly the most brutal way for someone to lose (apart from Hill and Schumacher) Max and Redbull had nothing to lose hence the stop, which meant Hamilton was a sitting duck. Masi wanted a race to the finish which I understand, but it was totally one sided. He handed the WDC to Max on a plate. It should have been a red flag, given Lewis the opportunity to even things up and then hard racing to the end.

I think people seem to not understand that Lewis would have won if they wouldn't have let the lapped cars overtake and also he would have won if they let all the lapped cars go through. So it is not suprising that Mercedes did what they did. They were super accurate with their decision cause if ALL the lapped cars would have got the permission to overtake there wouldn't be enough time to SC to left the track. I guess they didn't predict that Masi was going to overrule the rules the way that he found the middle ground where rules are half applied. But there isn't anything to take a way from RB still, they needed miracle and pitting Max there was their only hope anyways.

You can see, Mercedes already expected Max will be behind him and the marker will be released and that's the end of lap 55 where the track is just cleared. Nothing has been decided at that time yet, they totally bet on the race will end under the safety car but the marshalls clean the track very fast I must say. So If the steward handled the situation right, they should've released backmarkers right at the start of lap 56. It will cost about 1.5 laps for them to catch up and that will be at the end of lap 57 so we still can race in the last lap. People even say backmarkers didn't even need to catch up, they just need to be at a safe distance. All the controversy could be avoided with the correct choice by the stewards, Mercedes will still be mad but they can't say anything because they already expected it. In the end, it was bad luck for Lewis but he handled it like the champ he is.

Hamilton commented on the risk they were taking by not pitting on the VSC, and again during the full SC. He knew their strategy was conservative and would be caught out by a safety car restart. Just imagine if it had been Hamilton who pitted under VSC, and Verstappen who stayed out for track position. This entire situation would have been reversed and it would have been Verstappen sweating the safety car restart. That's if Hamilton hadn't already passed him on track with his superior pace and fresh tires.

@alexandersimpson3638

I do not think it would have been reversed, had it been the other way round.. Masi would have stuck to the rule book by the letter and previous SC situations and have the race finish under the SC, or alternatively if there was by some miracle enough time to unlap the cars, he would have had Lewis needing to pass cars before getting back into 2nd and chase down Max with little or no chance of doing it.. It was direct interference by an official to influence the race result in Max’s favor… It was clear the FIA, Masi and most the pundits wanted another champion.. This was a farce, it was up until the SC a clear cut win for Lewis, Max was making zero progress in closing the gap at that point.. So Masi had a choice, follow standard practice and have the race finish under the SC. Masi however threw the rule book out the sc window, manipulated the situation for a last lap race, he knew by choosing this this very unorthodox strategy, he was 100% gifting it to Max.. I have no doubt the situation was engineered to achieve what it did, a new F1 champion.. I only hope Mercedes take it all the way tontura high court if necessary.. If evidence is shown to exist, that it was indeed a deliberate act to subvert the race result, then the FIA and Masi deserve what is coming. As for Max, does he really want the crown if it was deliberately gifted to him? Guess, we will find out in time..

Merc brought a QC (Queens Council - A very learned lawyer that has the ability to defend the Queen of England in her own Court) why would you do that? Unless you know ahead of time that something is up. 2 When asked about driving into Lewis and making it look like an accident. Max (IMHO) acted shocked and pretended not to know what the questioner was talk about. 3 The start, when Max forced Lewis off the track. The reason there was no penalty for Lewis was because the FIA knew if there was a challenge they’d lose. Still didn’t stop Karen from asking for the manager. Just my thoughts.

@@francishernandez Didn't say you could. But Hamilton and the media have once again united to make him look like this morally superior demi-god. A man who can somehow be humble and gracious, even when victory is snatched away from him at the last minute. Dig a little deeper, listen to his radio communications during the race. And you can clearly see that he's nowhere near as gracious about it as he tried to make out afterwards.

The best that can be said, Hamilton showed incredible grace under pressure. Surely he is the GOAT.

And how did you expect him to sound like over team radio in the last laps of the Abu Dhabi gp? Like some movie actor? He is a professional racing car driver. The race and this years championship means a lot less to him, than his hoards of ham fans all over the world. Pity though, you'd think he'd spice up his radio link convo's to his team during a race, like a morsel of excitement, or emotion, to appeal to all his ham fans all over the world. But He's paid millions!!! Its not a bad day at the office for him if he loses the race.

It's not really what you're saying though. The FIA didn't give anyone a free opportunity to do anything. Latifi crashed. Safety car came out. Every car had a chance to pit, Lewis didn't and Verstappen did. That's why he had new tires. Lapped cars are always unlapped during a safety car, in fact it would have been highly unusual and unfair they weren't going to do this. What actually should have happened was lapped cars should have been sent around on lap 55 to get ready for the restart. But they dithered and decided not to then realized they screwed up and changed their mind. But had they done what they were supposed to, Verstappen still ends up right behind Hamilton on new tires because fundamentally Mercedes lost this race by not pitting.

Mercedes couldn't pit because if they did, Redbull would've stayed out and the race could've ended under the safety car. Essentially if this race happened earlier in the season where the race director would've make rational and consistent decisions instead of folding under pressure, Lewis would get p1, Max p2 and the race ends under safety car, thats what makes it unfair.

Thats not the FIA's fault, and it's not their job to leave the safety car out way longer than needed just so your favorite driver wins.

“Safety car needs to pick up pace” *but it’s a safety car* Edit: to those saying I know nothing about the sport, I indeed do, I just also come from a nascar background where when there’s a full course caution (which happens frequently, even on road courses) the “Pace car” as we call it in the states sets the caution pace and that pace would be about a 1/4 of what the normal race pace would be (a race where average 190 mph = around 50 mph caution pace) especially if there is a wreck and debris to be cleaned up 🤷🏼‍♂️
