If he was closer to Max then they wouldn’t have had the luxury of a free stop. Agree, he's been on the beach all year, should/could have been a Merc 1-2 today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 I wonder if that last lap will be cancelled, race didn’t legally restart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a m ole Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Give Max Bottas’ merc and let them race 10 laps both starting on the finish line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are checking the rules, they think rules not followed for the restart. Last lapped car must have passed before safety car comes in. This is bang on the money. Could be a breach of the rules here. Every car needs to pass before the pace car comes in, Masi just said cars between max and Lewis need to pass. If you can allow this, I'm unsure.

Genie Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 This kind of ending should have been avoided at all costs. Masi needs to be sacked on the spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 A minute or 2 after the crash it was clear what was going go happen. Red flag then, even for 3 or 4 laps of proper racing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamilton needs to go out there and congratulate Max and RB on their win (which he did), and Mercedes needs to file a lawsuit behind closed doors and try and overturn the win. Next weekend they can rerun the final 5 laps with fresh tyres, just Hamilton and Verstappen. Winner gets the championship. F1 ratings go through the roof. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Silvers Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Good to appeal, Masi has effectively asked the guy leading the race by 13 seconds to slow down to let the guy in 2nd place to go in for fresh tyres and then wait for him to pull side by side and then start the race. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a m ole Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 (edited) So it was Ricciardo denied the chance to race Vettel and Leclerc infront of him. Obviously slim chance but could have meant an extra point for McLaren. Edited December 12, 2021 by a m ole 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what amazes me. How the gaps are lost every time a safety car comes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
