Phil Silvers Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Just now, Genie said: Q: Why didn’t they release all the cars? A: There wasn’t time So they didn’t have time to restart then. Simple. It sounds like sour grapes but it’s a fact. This 100% They've basically le max go I for fresh tyres and then told everyone to move out of the way so he get in to 2nd place, then restart within seconds to get safety car in, if Lewis.pitted 1st,.max stays out and is left alone to win at a canter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if no one is given the opportunity to overtake under the safety car, then Max has to overtake five people to get to Lewis? And those would be the two normal options right? Do it or don't; Yes or no? But instead they've just said, anyone in between Max and Lewis can get out of the way, but the rest of you can't. Looked at that way, you'd have to say Mercedes have a decent case for whatever it is they want to do next. There must be something in the mega rule book about it, it doesn’t sound right that some of the cars can unlap themselves but not all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just the cars between Lewis and max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Proper dodgy stuff that. Merc made some daft decisions earlier in the race but it still doesnt make what happened at the end right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems he's got a bag of Saudi money waiting. It's outrageous that someone can just completely disregard rules on a whim just because he fancies it. He has said it publicly as well. For what it's worth I think he **** up the first lap thing as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"All cars will be required to unlap themselves" is what the rulebook says. They've just made something up for good TV and a dramatic finish.

Jimzk5 Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 So the only cars who were allowed to unhappy themselves were the ones between the lewis and max Nothing fixed about that at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know what they do with the extra lap to be honest. Yeah, it's making my brain hurt. It could potentially affect points in the worst case. Maybe.

Daniel Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Ferrari should be complaining also. If they let all the lapped cars by, then Sainz could've been fighting for the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted December 12, 2021 Moderator Share Posted December 12, 2021 Why are we letting just these three cars through? Masi: "because erm....because erm...give me a minute Toto....erm...my main priority is to get this incident clear" That's quite telling I think. He's decided the Championship with a decision that isn't part of the rules - why he did that will need to be investigated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Sounds like Masi did what Horner asked. "let em race". So he did. Like Klopp asking for a Salah Penalty I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
