Just wasted time re watching the BBC one then to try and get a pic of it!Sky just shown Max very clearly ahead of Lewis under safety car conditions
Red Bull didn't gamble, they just had massive massive luck. Verstappen wasn't getting near Hamilton even on new tires.Would be surprised if the result is changed. Red Bull gambled on a yellow flag and won. Lots of close calls in the last two races but trying to let the pair of them race made for a way more interesting sport. Now if they made tracks with more passing opportunities the sport might be worth regularly watching again

Mercedes gambled by not pitting Hamilton a second time.
A gamble based on the regulations. Which were then not followed.Red Bull didn't gamble, they just had massive massive luck. Verstappen wasn't getting near Hamilton even on new tires.

I think Mercedes made the right decision, in retrospect. What they couldn't forsee is Masi literally making up the rules to engineer a one-lap race to the finish.A gamble suggests having something to lose.
It's like criticising a football team in the lead for not also sending their goalie up for a corner in the 90th minute.
I agree. They did the right thing. At the time I thought it was a mistake, but I was wrong. But Masi then fucked them.A gamble based on the regulations. Which were then not followed.
I’ve seen plenty more dramatic moments than the sporting body intervening to give a car the victorySUPER MAX!
Not sure I've seen a more dramatic sporting moment than that
Yeah, couldn't have been a less "sporting" moment ..I’ve seen plenty more dramatic moments than the sporting body intervening to give a car the victory
I'd be surprised if he stays beyond tonightI’ll be amazed if Michael maci is still in a job next season…completely incompetent.
Our Amsterdam was betterSUPER MAX!

Nothing dramatic about it tbh. We’ve seen F1 severely harmed today. This isn’t about which racer you like, it’s about the integrity of the sport.SUPER MAX!

It’s what F1 could do, were it not for the issue with fuel. The races are run to pretty much finish with an empty tank.From the few races I have seen, I think NASCAR does a green, white, checker in that situation. 3 laps out of a yellow flag & all lapped cars lass to the back. That’s a much better way to finish, IMO.
This. I’m a neutral between the 2 fan wise although Max is a prick of a human & a danger as a driver. But I really wouldnt care about the result had he won fairly. Fact is he did not. The race director handed him the title making a ruling that doesnt follow the rules of the sport.Nothing dramatic about it tbh. We’ve seen F1 severely harmed today.

Well, they could have decided differently and given Lewis new tires and backed him to get past Max, who would probably need to pit again. But I agree they made the right call.Mercedes had no choice there. If they pit, Max stays out, and gains track position and the lead.
