And now C4 bring in Team Redbull (DC and Webber) to give us there take... Time to press the feed tab "x."
 
Any worse by RB winning through the rules not being adhered to?

No more contentious than the race director making up imaginary rules to gift the race to Max.

That would be a failure for the FIA. Not for Hamilton and Mercedes.

It's also not RBR's fault. They tried everything they could, but ultimately play by the same rules.

To be fair Masi et al could’ve avoided this situation by not creating a situation that could be protested…

Don't disagree with any of you, just stating regardless of the outcome now whether that be nothing changes.
Mercedes wins via protest or in court, they issue an apology but say 'didn't have meaningful impact' if was done correctly. Everything is a bad note to end this season on, Lewis winning on the track whether it be under that SC or not was seemingly the only just finish to that race.
(Unless he had a puncture of course and lost it or something, then thats on Merc again :D)
 
If the roles were reversed, would there be a 'fix' option I wonder?
Yes. That was such a shady decision .

You know what, I’m sick of people baiting me and calling me bias. I support Lewis but I always try to post with a level mind.

Okay I have an opinion and that comes across but find one single post where I’ve knowingly not told it like I see it? Last race I said Bottas was not on for slowing up the SC.

The poll has always been a bit of fun. I’ve set it 1-5 on occasions where the race has been boring, even when Lewis has won.

don’t like it: then call me out, don’t make veiled comments.
 
As a neutral I'm not sure. Yes it's great that they tried to get racing done asap. On balance Red Bull took the risks and succeeded. Hamilton was faster overall. Do I think it's becoming more like WWE :shurgs:

Red Bull only succeeded because the rules were changed. Mercedes made the correct call for Lewis under the safety car because there wasn't enough time for a full racing lap with them next to each other under the regulations.

Can you change my vote to FIX please :D
 
Handing back the place wouldn’t have made any difference, Lewis was outpacing Max at that point, like he’s was for a good 80-90% of the race. Also do you not agree that Max did not leave any space with his lunge and forced Lewis off the track (yet again)?
The move at the start was totally fair. Hamilton gunning it over the run off and gaining advantage, whilst keeping position, not so much.

Exactly

I don't think you're biased at all :) I know you support Lewis, I was just poking at bit of fun at it.

There are some blatantly biased posters on here on both sides, but you're not one of them. It's a shame some people can't see past their favourite driver, and sadly there are too many of them.
 
Terrible if you're a Hamilton/Mercedes fan, amazing if you're a Max/Red Bull fan or neutral. I couldn't have wished for a better end to the season other than Norris winning.

Although you've tried to remain neutral in your posts the tone in how you respond to others would suggest you're more than happy to be Max/Red Bull leaning :p (Unless you are a Max fan and I'm misinterpreting)

Granted this place is largely Lewis fandom and you have got nut cases suggesting Checo was trying to take Lewis out in what was the very best part of the race and an incredible effort by him. So I suppose your responses as a 'neutral' would lean more that way
 
They should appeal, I think there's a case with it clearly stating in the sporting regs that 'once the lapped cars have passed the leader, the safety car will return to the pits at the end of the following lap.'

It was changed on the fly, for the benefit of the 'show' and Red Bull. No way to disguise it.
