Man, I got goose bumps when Max took that corner off Hamilton.
Benz team scratching their heads

Class by Hamilton.

He's completely turned me around on him. What a GC.

@bones I’m not a fan, but he showed some class at the end there. Unlike some in his shed…

I’m ok with that. Can you imagine how you’d feel?
Lewis the good guy. Toto the bad. Fair.

A great race to end a great season. Still can’t work out how Mercedes list that given their superiority. They must be fuming.
Either of Hamilton or Verstappen though would have been a worthy champion.

Max on pole! Lewis behind. Starting on diff tyres.
Should be a phenomenal race tomorrow
I wonder what's the money on Max to win, but get points deducted cos he drives like a tool. Followed by months of legal wrangling
Called it

@machpants you’ve called nothing.
Max has played what’s in front of him. Nothing wrong with his driving at all.
Arguments against his driving already toast.

Agreed. In this race, yeah he got very lucky but he took his chance.
Officiating again an issue but what’s new?

Is it just this year or are the officials making trouble for themselves with 'adaptive' application of their own rules?
I can see the aim of not being pedantic and trying to make it about racing but the flipside of that is that everyone then questions their decisions.
For example if it can be clearly shown that Max went in front of Lewis under the yellow flag but the officials chose to ignore it where does that leave respect for the rules?

racing[insert rugby, cricket, basketball, league…] but the flipside of that is that everyone then questions their decisions.What happened at the end was pretty unique given the number of laps left when the safety car came on etc.
From my perspective, Max still had to take that corner and a perfect storm scenario with softer tyres, the fact it was just one lap, championship on the line, it all appeared to play into his hands. But it’s still pretty amazing that it actually happened as it did!
