Mark Connolly Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 1 minute ago, Mr. Brightside said: Still think Mercedes bottled it a bit with regards to not pitting under the safety cars. You'd think they'd back Hamilton to pass Verstappen, especially with their current speed advantage. Toto constantly on the radio to Masi suggested he knew they had made a c**t of it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s funny as f**k but do Mercedes have a right for appeal and could potentially cause this to be overturned? I highly doubt it, but I think for the benefit of the sport Mercs need to take this to the court of arbitration to find out what decisions were made, whether they fit with the current regs and what procedures were (or not) followed. And it needs to look at the last 4 or 5 races, not just what happened here. And at the end of it.....Masi needs to be out of the role as Race Director. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bottom line is that Hamilton had track position and failed to defend it. Wolff spent the race lobbying the race director and finally got told to f**k off. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Decisions made seemingly on a whim that baffle everyone? No consistency? Regulations made up on the back of a fag packet? One set of rules for one, and one for another? All round confusion and one side set against another? Announcing F1s new 2022 race directors… -8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggy Snake Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 (edited) The real issue with the race direction was the disregard for every other car racing, except for the front 2. Not allowing all lapped cars to clear themselves prevented the likes of Sainz and Tsunoda having the same chance to overtake Verstappen (or more likely Hamilton) as Verstappen was given at the front.

Leicesterlichtie Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Mercedes and FIA making poor decisions all day. Could never imagine a championship being won in those circumstances behind a safety car. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you JS, Hamilton should be demoted behind all them too This post may not be serious, it would be funny as f**k though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
