Why doesn't max slow down and back LeClerc into Perez?

drop 8 seconds in two laps, lose tyre pressure and LeClerc easily overtakes for first?
Maybe thats why

 

[Flibster]

Hamilton pit radio - Sorry about that mate. I guess, it just gave up the ghost at the end there. She's a bit tired.

 

[ci_newman]

It might have been slow, but Mercedes absolutely nailed reliability this year. I wonder what impact that will have on budgets if their kit lasts longer?

Race control - Latifi lap deleted - Track limits at turn 6 lap 55

Perhaps he should have done it earlier then.

He did say he would do anything to help Perez this race.

But no just being his usual arrogant self

Snoozefest to end a fairly "uneventful" year all round....

Merc - very poor car at the start of the season
Ferrari - Terrible strategy most of the year
RB - All in with Max most of the time and perez is an after thought in most cases....

All in - a poor years racing bar a couple of decent races

 

[Flibster]

Race control - Gasly time 1:32.845 deleted - Track limits turn 6 lap 57

Race control - Black and white flag for Gasly - Track limits

Perez will be fuming about Brazil all over again!

 

[the wopster]

So the petulant child costs his teammate second place in the championship

 

[booyaka]

Perez will be fuming about Brazil all over again!

Agreed - another reason it was a terrible situation that Max created.

 

[Psycho Ned]

Perez will be fuming about Brazil all over again!

Though I guess it didn't make the world of difference as would have gained 1 point in Brazil but lost 3 to Leclerc today.

 

[muon]

Leclerc can thank Hamilton.

I wonder if Hamilton will take some satisfaction from that.

Drive around way off the pace for a few laps and risk losing the lead, in the hope that it'll help someone several cars back?
Great strategy call there.

Red Bull stuffed Perez this race, Max did not.

 

[englishpremier]

LeClerc the fist loser then, and Ferrari the first loser in terms of teams.

Now if only Crofty would quit all would be good. He's a complete numpty.

 

[Stumble Bum]

Too easy for Max.

 

[Flibster]

Congratulations to Red Bull for losing your first ever Drivers championship 1-2 due to some childish bovine rectal extrusion.

Pretty sure Perez would have still been third even with Brazil switch

Perez finishing number two in championship should have been the ONLY team goal this race.

Everything should have been towards that.

And yes sacrificing max included

 

[Flibster]

Blow that car up Vettel!

Or crash it into the wall...

Is this a serious question?
