Newey walking like the character models from GTA: San Andreas definitive edition.

It would be hilarious if they did somehow receive a penalty, especially after coming out wearing those shirts.

It's the guy @PannickAtTheDisco should be named after.

Sad to see this potentially being decided in the stewards office. Sure as racing drivers neither Lewis or Max would want that.

Brilliant pass by Max on the last lap either way.

FIA dismiss protest about overtaking behind safety car

Court it is then probably

FIA dismiss protest about overtaking behind safety car

Wow they really are determined to have max win, that was conclusive

Didn't see the race, only followed the final couple of laps and the result. I've got huge respect for Hamilton, but I'm not really all that invested in F1, truth be told.
I don't really understand the technicality involving lapped cars here. Could somebody who genuinely has no axe to grind — somebody who is neither a Hamilton supporter nor a Verstappen supporter — give me a clear-eyed assessment of whether the FIA have clearly broken rules of practice that have been observed in the past?

Rule 48.8 states you cannot overtake under the safety car. Mercedes argue Verstappen did this. The normal punishment would mean a 5 second penalty, meaning Hamilton wins.

Rule 48.12 states that when the race director allows lapped cars to overtake the safety car, the safety car must stay out until at least the end of the following lap. This did not happen, it went in on lap 57 rather than 58. This meant there was a last lap shootout between Hamilton and Verstappen, which Verstappen won. Mercedes argue that this was a breach of the rules. Unlike the above, no driver did anything wrong, so the remedy is unclear although @blueinsa believes this would hand the race win to Hamilton

Yes about 2.5 secs behind only grey area is done bullshit about changing to a grid penalty next season

this is what i think will happen

the punishment will be carried over to next season because of the time limit and end of season title being given to max already. it would have to be a big punishment like disqualification from the first race to keep many fans happy
but i don't see Mercedes or Hamilton happy with that

Only in so much it takes it into the last lap and this the race ends under the safety car with Lewis in front.

Even Mazepin would have gone past Hamilton with the advantages Max was afforded.
