Seems, to me, a better 'need' than your apparent one!Yet you still feel the need to come on a thread about it and comment??

Apologies, I was not replying to you, but mistakenly hit teply on your post. My response was to the comment that Mercedes should have pitted him.made by someone else

Yeah, I would and I would give Lewis the big up and tell him to show everyone why he is the world champion..!
Masi is not in contention, the FIA decision is the decision you adhere to it and you have to make the best of it.

Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
It will be interesting to read comments from neutral countries. Brazil, USA, FRANCE, ETC over the next few days.
Why did Masi not let them race from the position each driver was in rather than get the back markers to overtake the safety car?

I wasn’t particularly bothered who won but surely everyone can see what happened today wasn’t right, Lewis had no chance on that last lap.

This should go to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. The FIA are incapable of making a fair decision and have tarnished the entire season.

They will be there next week. The FIA prize gala is on Thursday.

Probably because it had more opportunity to get messy … it was a difficult decision but in the end the logic of it holds up. They could not have the final race won under the safety car nor could they have back markers interfering in the title decider ..

Whilst the sentiment is probably fair, going to CAS would be bad for all.

Yet they were able to have an entire race under the SC at Spa?
It shouldn’t matter what race it was, there should be consistency in the application of the rules.
The logic doesn’t hold up though, just do what they normally do and work your way through the back markers as you normally do??

Despite the controversy I think the best driver this season won the championship, assuming the result stands.

It wasn't a difficult decision. Apply the rules correctly and consistently, then all back markers (Not just the selected four/five) should have passed the safety car and rejoined the back of the pack. The safety car would then come in on the next lap which would have been the end of the race. Masi chose to have a 'race', similar level of decision to that farce at Spa. Time to tidy up race control before next year.

I don't think it would be. CAS would rip FIA to shreds and force them to get their house in order. No point in having 500+ pages of regulations and sporting code if someone can rip it all up because they feel like it. This has been brewing all season because of inconsistent application of the rules. Today is probably the last race I watch, what's the point if the rules can be ripped up because Masi feels like it.

The entire season has been a catalogue of bad stewarding and race control decisions. Spa was the tipping point into utter farce. Then as things got more heated between Merc and RB, the decisions got more and more chaotic. My opinion is that this year's championship is effectively void, regardless of who won.
Roll on 2022, and here's hoping for some sensible and consistent application of the technical and sporting regs.

I did not watch spa.. but experience of spa is the circuit is long and the weather and conditions differ between the sectors.
It’s usually cold the high points are foggy and drizzly … so if the weather was poor then it’s understandable to keep the safety car out especially when there are points where water pools.
