Only 5 cars were allowed to unlap? Yeah....

M Hybrid V8 · 12-12-2021, 09:42 AM

Best season in a very long time ended worse than Game of Thrones. lol

I'm sure they wont care, but deep down they will always know what happened. They'll know HAM/Merc was fastest and had the race. RB didn't necessarily even get lucky, they were simply given a handout. It's ridiculous, that's never even happened under a safety car before. Masi simply didn't want to end the race under a safety car so he decided to just give RB the win.

Considering everything in the last 3 or 4 races, Mercedes walked RB and it was a no competition today but yeah, speechless.

Never mind grandma, you always wanted Max to lose so your hate for him stands out.

I don't think all the lap cars went through.

Yup they're contesting it.

The problem was that I don't think they can penalize RBR for a FIA cock up.

I personally prefer max to win this season, but how the final lap sets up felt fabricated. It's a mixed feeling.

All in all, both drivers deserves IMO. Just that FIA/FOM really fu*cked up in the last two races.

How crazy is that!

F1 was never this intense!

congratiolations Max and the Red Bull team.
All the daring strategic decisions this race have payed off. Going in for new tyres when you could! Full attack mode!

Guido...can you check on ///M-Power please.

E90SLAM · 12-12-2021, 09:50 AM

IMO, driver of the day: CHECO!!!
That was epic defending, like Turkey earlier this year.

BTW, did Toto's headset survive?

GuidoK · 12-12-2021, 09:50 AM

So I'm quoting one of the most interesting posts of this topic:

Obviously nobody said the FIA rigged it

But what a year it has been. No one can say this was a boring championship like the so many ones before.
I'm sure (I hope

) next year will be just as exciting and there will be another epic year long battle between VER and HAM, and hopefully more drivers can mingle in this fight.
Because this year it was a bit embarrasing how far both Max and Lewis were in front of the rest.

M Hybrid V8 · 12-12-2021, 09:50 AM

Michael Masi = Driver of the Day

3798j · 12-12-2021, 09:51 AM

The WDC record book should have an asterisk behind the 2021 winner.

Oh hai old friend. And yeah I agree they can't punish rbr for that.

Mr Pete · 12-12-2021, 09:52 AM

I knew this kid would do it. He's not my favorite modern F1 driver but I knew he would be world champion one day. Wow what a epic F1 season!!!!!

Poor Lando…..come back strong next year mate!

Haha. The footage of Toto throwing a tantrum is epic.

Awesome season!
Just a bit weird feeling given how the way it ended.

Let me repeat, FIA really cocked up in the last two races.

Oh yeah oh oh yeah
