Might not just be Mercedes, I imagine they’re talking to other teams, Ferrari in particular.

On a slightly different note, and for the benefit of a fairweather F1 fan like myself, has it always been full of so many penalties, appeals, complaints to FIA officials etc mid-race? Or is it a more recent trend driven by more camera angles, replays, social media etc?
From all sides it seems rather petty at times and this behaviour would seem to open the door to appealing smaller and smaller potential incriminations going forward? There must have been a time when the race just went ahead and everyone largely got on with it, a la football pre-VAR?

i think its are far from over and Mercedes still got time to take them to court
F1 is now dead and many fans will stop watching it because of what happened today
its nothing to do with fans of lewis and max winning. its about taking and changing the rules in a instant and giving it to one persons hands. he clearly was giving a big advantage to red bull and max in a one lap shoot out that was not on a level playing field that Mercedes could not control or change
Pointless going any further they’ll lose.

Its been way too toxic since Silverstone and Monza. Hamilton accused of almost killing Max, Max parking his car almost on Hamilton's head and not checking to see if he was okay.I honestly don't know why people watch it. I got sucked in cause it was close but won't bother again. They will have lost more viewers than gained for next season.
Press loved it though and they've been stoking this 'rivalry' since. I'll still be following Lando and Dan, am interested in how Alpine will do, but i've lost interest in the main prize. Too hateful.

Well it's been quite a day and thanks to everyone who has contributed to the discussion on this thread. It makes a nice distraction from football. I'll say congratulations to Max, he's a great driver and it's been a really exciting season. 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.
As for the FIA, you know exactly what you've done. And so does everyone else.

If anything it could bring new fans in like me. Loved the drama today. I like how everyone is forgetting Hamilton still had a lead, in his own hands and lost it.

wouldnt say Hamilton lost it and it was in his own hands. No way Hamilton could hold off MV on his tyresBut people will watch it, the same way everyone deems football is corrupt and still watch it religiously.

How did he have the lead in his own hands? On 45 lap yards v new softs?But people will watch it, the same way everyone deems football is corrupt and still watch it religiously.
