From my perspective I’m not interested in what was done within regulation throughout the course of the year, I’m interested in the integrity of a sport that I’ve followed for a fair number of years. You may hide your glee for MV being given a title but there are many out there who just wanted to see the best man win, by fare means.I think at the end of the day it was just a small part of the championship in an epic year long battle.
Mercedes had loads of good fortune. Like the British GP where Hamilton took Verstappen out the race and then had the luck to have a red flag to have the damage he caused repaired. Or Imola where he went a lap down because of a mistake in tricky conditions lapping back markers and then again because of a red flag he was put back on the same lap as the leaders.
Or Bottas handily causing Verstappen to get his car so badly damaged that he couldn't even beat the Williams in the race.
We didn't see a one lap shootout, we saw a whole championship of racing that decided who won. Hamilton did nothing wrong in the last race and was unlucky. But as my above examples show he had had ridden his luck in multiple occasions previously and these things tend to balance themselves out.
