OutByEaster? Posted December 12, 2021 Moderator Share Posted December 12, 2021 It's a difficult one this - the explanation really isn't good. Basically they've said that the rules are less important than the man they put in charge of the race. Imagine the FA saying "Yeah, the rules are the rules, but Mike Dean is in charge and we'll go with whatever he decides to do". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you race under those circumstances? Im 100% not shocked the FIA didnt find themselves in breach of their own regulations, even when they clearly breached them, but its a joke all the same. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Regardless of the personalities involved, the race director just choosing to ignore some rules and the organisation investigating themselves for an hour or two and saying "All good, man" is as big as sporting farce as you can imagine. What a hollow victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they shouldn't, I know.the principles of right and wrong have gone out of fashion bit this is just wrong. No spur grapes here, switch drivers and I'd be gutted to win that way, embarrassed.

OutByEaster? Posted December 12, 2021 Moderator Share Posted December 12, 2021 Ah well, congratulations to Max on winning this Championship, tainted though it is. Hopefully it's his only one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichfield Dean Posted December 12, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted December 12, 2021 (edited) I'm still concerned about the precedent this sets for the lower placed teams. Basically the race director can arbitrarily deny them a proper chance to race for position if he thinks it would make the leadership challenge more exciting. If I were McLaren or Alpine I'd be furious at this. Edited December 12, 2021 by Lichfield Dean 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You obviously don't watch much, we will agree to disagree. Watch it again, there was no room yet again for Max. If Lewis didn't go off track Max would have hit him.
