Wow not sure you could write this rubbish, a new President and the first on his list is rule breaking by Lewis for not attending the F1 Gala. The best bit was the backtracking on rules that are broken by human's it feels like a film script. Obviously written by someone who has no idea about was has gone on just a few day's ago, I'am with you Ed i'am out unless they change things.
{Ed001's Note - it won't change sadly. They wouldn't back Masi if they were looking to make change.}

Hi Ed might this have more to do with voting in the replacement for Jean Todt not sure what connections the Barrister Stoker has or the ex rally driver Suleymen has. Intriging though can't that outcome would have happened of it wasn't a Champuonship decider, race would have finished under the safety car regs.
{Ed001's Note - you could be right, F1 has always had a lot of politics involved.}

Lets see what happens now then
{Ed001's Note - let's be honest Max wouldn't face punishment even if it wasn't counted back a lap.}

“This is my offer….”
Am I having some weird drug induced dream here or is the race director taking over the role of the stewards to reduce the impact of a potential penalty.
Absolute madness
{Ed001's Note - no, he is just trying to save the stewards having to make a ruling.}

Just heard Brundle watching the replay again and he wasn't sure and then decided Max was in the wrong after watching a few replays. It was obvious the first time.
{Ed001's Note - exactly.}

How long will the yellow tyres last. A bit of hammertime now .
4.) 05 Dec 2021 19:31:26
Wow just Wow
{Ed001's Note - what a shambles.}
5.) 05 Dec 2021 19:37:58
Pretty much Ed but looks like a win for Lewis
{Ed001's Note - they really need to look at the running of the sport though, the whole season has been shambolic, but this race has been a joke.}
6.) 05 Dec 2021 19:46:47
Yeh they definitely tried somethings to stop the win. I thought VSC was supppsed to be quicker than a safety car. Not in this race seem to take a long time. Damaged car slower tyres and then the win. Down to the last race couldn't be better in the end. Totally agree on the season Ed.
{Ed001's Note - I expect Max will just run Lewis off the road.}
7.) 05 Dec 2021 20:06:56
Exactly Ed they had a chance to stop all this. But it feels like giving half points for a non race at Spa started this as you say Shambles.
{Ed001's Note - that was just stupid and deliberately engineered.}
8.) 05 Dec 2021 20:27:29
Max has the most wins this season so a Torpedo action will be expected next week.
{Ed001's Note - yep, he won't even try and race.}
9.) 05 Dec 2021 22:57:59
Wow what's the point of that then do a brake test cause an accident, and no loss to the guilty party. As you said earlier Ed F1 and Fia are a shambles, I just hope Lewis goes on and finishes the job next weekend. Not sure if they want max to win or they don't want Lewis to break Schumachers record.
{Ed001's Note - I would say it is about wanting Max and his army of fans spending money.}

I donr think that was intentional. They were both playing with drs zone. Max was going slow waiting for Ham to pass as instructed by team. FIA rubbish the bed in not telling Merc on time that they were being handed the place back. The person deemed guilty for silverstone also had no loss by the way
The only issue here is FIA incompetence. i'm sure they are not trying to support any driver intentionally.
{Ed001's Note - I don't agree sorry. Max would move off the racing line unless he was being a dick, which he was. You often see a driver in that position wave his hand on the side he wants the other driver to pass, as they can't communicate straight to each other. Max did nothing but slow down on a corner. A long sweeping corner, yes, but it is still blind so Hamilton had no idea what was happening and Max could have simply been slowing to avoid an obstacle on his left or a marshal there on track etc. Either Max is a complete moron or he was trying to be a dick. There are no other options.
As for the FIA, they have gone out of their way to help Max this season because of his huge following. It is worth too much to them to have him win a title. I do not believe it is incompetence that every decision goes the way of Verstappen.}

Guess we'll have to disagree on this mate. No way Max is doing that to brake check Ham. FIA have in multiple occasions favoured Mercs this season too. Pit stops which were not an issue for all these years have become safety issue. Flexi wing drama was started by Mercs. They got FIA to change their tests for it.
FIA does every few years try subtly disadvantage dominant teams. Ferrari have suffered it, Mclaren have suffered it and even Redbull have suffered it. So there is no surprise they are trying to disadvantage Mercs.
Ham is the poster boy of F1. He is by far the most popular and recognisable asset for f1. He probably has double the number of people rooting for him than Max or any other driver ever will. Only Schumi came close to the following of Ham.
{Ed001's Note - flexi wing drama was started by Mercs? No mate, it was started by Red Bull cheating. The pit stops became an issue because they were so quick there were incidents happening which showed people were disregarding the safety regs in place.
And if you think Max was not brake testing Hamilton, then you know nothing about him. Just like you probably think he wasn't deliberately driving into Hamilton at Brazil or on each restart. Max was happy to take both of them out rather than give up the lead, that is exactly what all those incidents were about.
As for Hamilton being the poster boy, no mate, they have hung their hat on Verstappen as the next big thing, whereas Hamilton is seen as a fading force on his way out and close to leaving the sport. But they need Max to beat him before he does so or it will leave dissatisfaction amongst the fans that he is not really that good. Bit like Vettel never made it to be the big star he could have been because he didn't take it off a dominant champion at his peak. He inherited an empty throne.}

Wow Ed01, this reply is rather enlightening. I really couldn't agree more. The season is well and truly a joke. Just hope for a fair and entertaining end to it all. Hopefully, whoever wins it does so fair and square without the madness at Saudi.
{Ed001's Note - fingers crossed. Just keep it clean and win it on the track!}

Well if you go to FAST you hit the wall.

Just shows Money talks.
12 Dec 2021 19:09:22
Thats that for now then.
12 Dec 2021 18:48:23
Soon to find out what the outcome is for now.
12 Dec 2021 18:16:25
Exactly Ed seems like they have no to go. A crazy decision just to go Racing for 1 unfair Lap. Do you see Masi leaving his job before next season. It feels like Racing for Racings sake, anything to gain TV audience to earn more money. A bit lile football anything to create controversy.
{Ed001's Note - Masi has done what his bosses want, so he will be fine I expect.}
12 Dec 2021 15:08:11
Well that was engineered at the end for Max to win. Very vague rules if there left to the clark pf the course on the day.
