Same Masi who 5 minutes earlier said they can't unlap, utterly bent.So the FIA admit it is entirely up to Masi to use his discretion as he sees fit.
Who wants to watch a sport like that?
We are already seeing it in football being used against City with VAR.
Completely open to abuse and someone in an office using their own interpretations to get the desired result, regardless of footage and rules.
I'll leave F1 now to the cunts who wouldn't know their Senna from Senakot.

I was indicating that Max needed to be nowhere near there, let alone do what he did. Just shows his lack of awareness and impulse control, but also that he knows that he can pull stunts and get away with it.He was ahead not alongside.

I've arbitrarily decided you get a 3 month ban unless we sign Haaland and Virat Kohli in January, even if your videos for the whole month indicate that we're only getting a new pie supplier.So the FIA admit it is entirely up to Masi to use his discretion as he sees fit.

Agree about Hamilton, think his Dad was instrumental there, gone up in my estimation too, stayed on the podium during the celebrations, took a lot to do that after Verstappen walked off last week.Do that many people like F1?
Have to say a very magnanimous Lewis Hamilton today. Went up in my estimations. He is probably livid but didn’t let it show and will come back all the better for that. Hats off to him.

His behaviour today both on and off the track has been exemplary and a shining example of how a champion behaves.

That's a tad unfair, the reason it ended as it did was that Latifi crashed with 5 laps to go, what followed was a farce, but Latifi crashing was the catalyst to all this shite, and shouldn't be forgotten.However, I can't leave without saying that Hamilton led that race from the 1st to the 57th lap, and would have won the race, without the intervention of the race director, who made a decision in contravention of the FIA's own rules, in order to favour one driver over the other. No blame on Max, enjoy your title.

I can take F1 and love Lewis Hamilton as he is a British winner after that joke of a race I will never watch it again
That result was corrupt ....simple

To add to that, not all the lapped cars passed the leader.The lapped cars unlapped themselves on lap 57 so the safety car should not have come in until lap 58, which was the end of the race
That is 100% clear and shows how fucked up the whole thing was

if that is sport then WWF wrestling should be in the olympics. I don’t care who wins, have no emotional connection to any driver since James Hunt, but for any driver to win like that is very hollow.
I think some of the other drivers are saying that if that was any other point in the race calendar it wouldn’t have finished based on that as hoc decision. Bizarre and embarrassingly unsporting.
I don’t think it is a hollow victory for Max. I think if you look at the full season it would be hard to claim that Max is not a deserving winner overall. He didn’t actually do anything wrong either. He took advantage of a situation that never should have happened.
However, despite Max’s brilliance at times this season, Lewis fought back and went into the final race in a winner takes all scenario. Again, I don’t think anyone could argue that Lewis did not deserve to win that race today.
The reality of the situation is that the race director abandoned sporting integrity for entertainment. The fact Mercedes protests have been rejected shows that it’s an acceptable thing in F1.
It does beg the question of whether this happens in other sports. I wouldn’t at all be surprised if referees in football are told to give favourable decisions to sides to make the PL exciting. When we pipped Liverpool to the league a few seasons ago, they had many dodgy decisions in their favour which kept the title race going.
