F1 Season 2021

[domalino]

Should both protests be dismissed. I expect Toto will congratulate Karen and Max publicly and will say something about this season is closed and Mercedes will be more than ready for next season.

The thing is, if they do that, they're hurting the sport long term.

The indisputable fact is that if the FIA followed their rules, Lewis Hamilton is world champion and everyone knows that.

If Verstappen wins because Michael Masi went rogue and didn't follow clearly written rules, it will kill the sport. All of those new fans will be turned off. Future teams will question why they're investing money into a joke of a competition. Drivers will not know what to do because there are no rules.

Mercedes might look bad by taking this to CAS, but someone needs to.

can the FIA change the ruling on lewis leaving the track at the start when the race stewards let it go
red bull was not happy about lewis being let off without letting max over take him

Can’t see anything happening the result will stand.

Your just saying that ,I'm sure Hamilton would love to win it anyway after the farcical way he lost it

Obviously I'm guessing. But he comes across as a driver who isn't a win at all costs style like Verstappen and Schumacher are.

For someone so successful, his racing against his main rivals has been for the most part clean and I think that he considers fair racing a key aspect to his driving. I don't think he'd like it to not be decided on track.

yep

and lewis walks away from F1 and calls them out

I'd love to hear Hamilton's view on this. I wonder if he really likes the idea of him winning the championship via a stewards decision. I have a feeling he wouldn't.

Hamilton has won 7 fair and square (pretty much), he won't care if number 8 is controversial, although I imagine it will guarantee he doesn't retire on it.

 

[hello]

How many precedents about the nudging ahead under sc have been given 5 secs? 20+

Got a feeling we’ll be seeing this image in the near future.

Leaving aside the Masi controversy, it seems a ridiculous sport when you consider that the result is not determined by Hamilton or Verstappen but by a driver I've never heard of crashing his car way down the field.

Get Etihad in their cars next season if they do to boil more piss.
