I'd have thought the overtaking issue would have been the easier one to hide behind, a simple 5 second penalty putting Hamilton first. If they uphold Mercedes's appeal on the other issue, wtf do they do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’d just pitted and there was a safety car you’d be screwed. conversely if you weren’t allowed to pit under a safety car, anyone who had just pitted would get a massive advantage. It’s a tough situation to resolve. Maybe set a 22 second time penalty for pitting based off the times at the point of the incident? Or 14 or whatever the estimated advantage is. That affects the grid at the restart. Edited December 12, 2021 by a m ole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Don’t follow F1 but that’s basically bollocks if they’ve given Red Bull the victory if they had any decency they should concede the race 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max loses a world title through no fault of his own, then you've got both Alpha Tauri drivers who lose positions through no fault of their own. This is extremely unlikely but what's to say Max wouldn't have still caught Lewis? Very very unlikely but you know. Whatever happens now this is going to drag on for months right until the start of the new season. When Max pitted, wasn't he behind Hamilton with none of the cars between them? That would have been a race to the line but they gave it up to put new tyres on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made the decision to drop back in the pack, they should have had to lie in that bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 20 seconds they’d lost doing so would be wiped out by the safety car, effectively giving them a free stop and massive advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Looking now they retired Perez, just to get him out the way. Maybe this should form part of the investigation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone had to lose out in safety cars but this seems a lot fairer to me Edited December 12, 2021 by a m ole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a m ole Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Inevitable, they couldn’t admit a mistake and they couldn’t just hand the title to Hamilton without the race finished. Farce 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
