"Just keep pitting him Christian, i'm sure we can figure some way to fudge the rules so we can give him a clear run at Hamilton on fresh tyres with no one to worry about behind him as they will all still be stuck behind lapped cars.."
Man of Honour
This should be deleted in the same manner as the earlier deleted posts, unless we want to be as inconsistent as the FIA.
Fun forum, this!

That's a much as admission that they knobbled it in favour of Verstappen as we'll ever get.

FIA closing the door after the horse has escaped, sired a dozen foals, and been made into glue.

Lol. 'Changed'. Everyone knew what it meant before. Any = all, basic comprehension. It didn't mean a minimum of one.
Mercedes will have won that point in any impartial forum.
At least it clears it up.

Indeed, it was a result not a win, that has to be the biggest difference. You can get a good result from lots of things doesn't mean you win.
Any mainstream media that is talking about it always ends the sentence with “in controversial circumstances” or mentioning that Masi was later removed as race director. It already has the asterix, RB will never live it down. Max is still a paper champion in my view because if that and all the **** he got away with during the season.
Yeah what happened to that?
Re. the safety car rules change and unlapping cars... Why should lapped cars unlap themselves anyway? If someone in P1 has got past all the lapped cars, then there's a safety car that bunches up the field and puts P2 behind them. That already completely takes away a massive advantage (i.e. 15 sec gap) that P1 had created throughout the race. At least with the lapped cars in the way it hinders P2 a little bit (if they're in the way). I don't see the reasoning really. If some race leaders had to lap the cars, then other cars should have to once the race resumes

They all get blue flagged anyway so won't make any real difference so just get in the way.
