Poll: Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2021, Yas Island - Race 22

[mattx2]

Will Lewis even go to the podium?

Yes he's not a spoilt child like max

 

[omnomnom]

Really ruined F1 that has. Just awful.

Yea as a newcomer I cant help but think thats a farce and was set up for a RB win at the end there.

 

[jonneymendoza]

Why did they say no to lapped cars passing then suddenly yes with 3 corners to go?

Merc are going to go mad.

And only the cars between max and ham...

 

[The_One]

horner shaking lewis hand is the best moment ever

 

[Cavallino]

I find it ironic....

2008, Hamilton won the championship thanks to a bit of luck on the last lap of the last race....
Other way round today (for Max this time!)

Poetic justice/injustice (depending on which camp you are in )

 

[Mesai]

Red Bull out-stratgised Merc all day long here, Merc were far too cautious.
Horner on the horn to Masi at the end was no worse than Wolff crying for there not to be a safety car earlier on when the VSC went out

To be fair, Merc had no chance with only 1 car in the fight, which has often been the case this season.

Really happy for Max and RB, but even more happy for the sport. Been a bit of a boring era with zero competition at the top.

 

[PikeyPriest]

They should. They literally just made up some rule about only letting the cars between two title rivals to lap the safety car essentially gifting the title to Max.

the FIA want drama as it serves liberty media

Edit - it may be a decade before we get a championship this close

 

[Locky]

5 cars allowed to unlap them selves then race.. FIA ARE CORRUPT thats the end of it..

 

[cuke2u]

Well done Max, never saw that coming, decided in the courts later?

 

[dunker]

looks like rules were broken to allow cars to unlap themselves, this might not be over i'm thinking.

 

[Rainagul]

CYA LATER SUCKAS

 

[RavenXXX2]

Process not followed! Title is Lewis.

 

[booyaka]

Great point - why was on 5 cars allowed to unlap themselves....What about the rest of the cars....

 

[Terminal_Boy]

No wonder Hamilton thinks everyone is out to get him. Both Mercedes and the FIA stuffed him today.

 

[cuke2u]

Dummies, clunk clunk clunk, sore lovers..

 

[muon]

5 cars allowed to unlap them selves then race.. FIA ARE CORRUPT thats the end of it..

You have to ask yourselves why they would do that.

 

[-Ad-]

Rules and process bot followed, love to see Mercedes take FIA to the cleaners for this.

Making up rules purely to get that finish, seems very very bad for those enforcing the rules.

 

[jonneymendoza]

Sod off. You weren’t posting in here before today and all you’re doing is trolling.

Just a few weeks ago you said you wouldn’t be posting in the forum again , but here we are.

Well said

 

[Greboth]

Absolute farce of an ending but can’t see them changing the championship even if Merc appeal.

 

[Jono8]

Great point - why was on 5 cars allowed to unlap themselves....What about the rest of the cars....

Because it was fixed.

 

[.:MBK:.]

Toto is raging at Masi I guess?

I can post wherever I want thanks. I've reported your post, please stop harassing me because I have raised a previous issue with you before. It will not be tolerated.

Merc are going to go mad.

So, the FIA wanted to get the race underway and decided to change the rules. Red Bull were unhappy and rightfully so. The FIA then screwed up by only allowing SOME cars. If they let all cars past then the race wouldn't have resumed which frankly that should have happened.

The FIA changed the rules to get the race going, then changed them again to benefit Red Bull.

 

[Skyboat]

kinda ironic max winning his first world title same way lewis won his

I don't recall only 5 cars being allowed to unlap themselves behind a safety car in Brazil 2008.

 

[Mesai]

I definitely think that this is part of it; they wanted some racing at the end, not a safety car finish.
