I'd love to hear a recording (if it exists) of the conversation between Massi and Horner when he was begging for one more lap

Have just been sent this, pretty damming if it’s genuine.

Well no, it's nothing like that at all, I gradually watched less and less as races became duller and duller, that's how I came to my present position of barely watching. Think European Cup v Champions League, old time F1 to modern F1 is much the same.
But thank you again for your boorish post on my thinking process.

Feel free to ignore my posts ?
Or maybe the entire topic given that you have said you find F1 boring.

I don't think Merc will take it any further. The FIA are never going to overturn the result .

FIA won't CAS might. CAS will definitely tell FIA to get their house in order for the future.

I think they will take it further, not necessarily to overturn the result, but to see Masi out of a job and tightening up of some rules.

And to possibly get some ££.
I still feel like it was a total fix, to get a new winner, the race should have finished behind the safety car, and Hamilton should be the champion.

The ££ hasn’t been mentioned much in any discussion. But I wonder what value could be placed on the marketing potential for Mercedes and any endorsements or contract bonuses Lewis may have got for being an 8xWDC? It must run into tens, if not hundreds of millions?
Maybe Mercedes will cut a Ferrari style secret deal with the FIA, to drop it for an extra coupe of teraflops worth of CFD ?

The thing is, Masi and the Stewards don't even disagree with the fact that the relevant safety car procedure wasn't applied in the normal way. They're just saying that 15.3 gives Masi the power to apply 48.12 and 48.13 as he sees fit.
The other thing that I didn't understand in the decision though, is why Red Bull were making arguments on behalf of the FIA / Masi? The question is whether what Masi did was within the rules or not, not whether Red Bull had breached the rules. Strikes me as a bit odd. In my opinion, the only evidence that should have been presented should have been from Masi, it's up to him to explain his line of thinking in reaching the decision he reached, and for the stewards to decide if that's right and if not what the remedy is.

Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
Ave read your last three posts and you have won this weeks troll award.
Going back,
You state the last 20 years have been a boring procession. Yet you stuck with it. Why?
Then you state you watch it less and less, But have told a forummer he has not seen some fantastic overtaking manoeuvres.if you have watched it less and less how can you tell him that when you have not watched all the races.
But the last post, let it go it’s Wednesday ???? for someone who has followed for the last 20 years and given it up after 3 days. Pure comedy genius.

Imagine if you're playing in the final of your club SCRATCH match-play championship.
You're 3 up with 4 to play but a lightning storm hits.
You have to take shelter for your own safety and it's late and getting dark.
After your opponent complains, the Captain comes out and tells you the storm has mostly passed but because of the dark, you have to move to the 18th and just play a one hole decider. He tells you you are now all square and you have to give your opponent a shot up the last.
Not a perfect comparison but not far off

Liveroool vs Man City in the CL final, City 3-0 up in injury time then the ref says next goal winner and Liverpool score ?

That was the opposite thinking to another poster. Maybe it is just you, and you have become more and more miserable as you have got older? It happens. Anyway, I was talking generally, so don't think I was directing my comments straight at you.
