.....Was the decision to restart in the way that they did fair and appropriate?

What is all the drama about? This article suggests Red Bull subjected race officials to duress and undue influence on the restart. Why is a sponsor allowed to even talk to a race official? This sounds like it should not happen:

Verstappen snatches F1 title from Hamilton on final lap

Max Verstappen claimed an astonishing first F1 world championship title by overtaking rival Lewis Hamilton on the final lap of a hugely controversial Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

It looks like Toto "the Nazi' Wolf got a taste of his own cheating medicine! After he, Hamilton and Mercedes cheated their way since Silverstone! Seems like he and Hamilton are big sour losers. Apparently Wolf brought a lawyer with him in filing an official complaint to the stewards! LoL! Lol! Lol!

Like I wrote in Post #93, "F1 has become the biggest spectator sport scam there is....It's a spectator sport that has become totally corrupt and messed up...and that has become much worse than the NHL and Bettman!"

Nobody has answered my question, why are sponsors allowed to talk to race officials during the race? I don't understand why such contacts are forbidden.

They are not supposed to, it's a clear conflict of interest!...But like I said F1 and Liberty Co are corrupt so anything goes...there are no ethics the way the races are handled and managed!

It should be quite obvious by now that Liberty and F1 are trying to dictate the results of the races for marketing purposes to give it the illusion that it's become an entertaining and competitive sport. Down to the wire on one last turn to determine the season championship?...taking points away from a racer so the other can catch up?...allowing one driver to take out another driver's car and run him out of the race causing a 50 point swing in cumulative points?...WTF is this!!!...Sounds too Hollywood for me!!! But that's what you get when Americans are now in charge of a European sport! In my opinion, there is no difference between F1 and WWF wrestling!

No soup for Toto "the Nazi" Wolf!...LoL!

Ben contant pour Max! Victoire mérité et justice a été rendus !
Beau travaille d'équipe chez Redbull qui ont tout fait pour que Max l'emporte ! Chapeau a Checo qui a faite suer Lewis et donner un bon spectacle ! Le roi est mort! Vive le roi! Lol!

Bravo a Lewis aussi qu'il a faite ce qu'il pouvait dans les circonstances. Toto Wolf aurait dû ce concentré sur leur stratégie d'équipe et faire entré plus tôt Lewis pour avoir des pneus neufs aussi pour qu'il puisse se défendre contre Max a fin au lieu d'essayer de dictée la course au commissaire de course ! Toto Wolf c faite remettre la monnaie de sa pièce ajd. Et encore une fois un autre protêt pcq Lewis a pas gagné. Ca devient ridicule leur affaire ! Belle bande de loser Mercedes! Lol!

Sans le vouloir, j'pense que Mick Schumacher a contribué a ce que son père reste avec le même nombre de titres que Lewis. C lui qui a tassé Latiffi dans la poussière et provoquer sa sortie de piste! "Mon père est pas encore mort!" Lol!
Mais ca va être de plus en plus tough pour Lewis d'aller chercher un 8e titre. En plus de Max, il va avoir Russell qui va lui chauffer les fesses l'ans prochain et les Ferrari et McLaren risque d'être compétitives aussi!

Toto Wolf & company fell asleep at the switch, rather than changing their strategy on the last lap they prefered complaining to the race officials - and as a result they got burned and they cried "wolf"...LoL!

As for Hamilton, his Sunday afternoon was a pleasure cruise ride because he simply has the best car in F1 until it got interrupted because of the Lafiti accident and the safety car coming on the track. When they restarted the race he simply choked under pressure despite having the best car...which goes to prove once again that as a pilot he is way way overrated and not worth much in my book!

Toto Wolf et compagnie se sont endormis à l'interrupteur, plutôt que de changer de stratégie au dernier tour, ils ont préféré se plaindre aux officiels de la course - et par conséquence ils se sont fait brûlés ben raide et ils ont crié "au loup"... LoL !

Quant à Hamilton, son dimanche après-midi a été une croisière de plaisir car il a tout simplement la meilleure voiture en F1 jusqu'à ce que la course soit interrompue à cause de l'accident de Lafiti et de la voiture de sécurité entrant en piste. Quand ils ont repris la course, Hamilton a choké sous la pression malgré le fait qu'il avait la meilleure voiture... ce qui prouve une fois de plus qu'en tant que pilote, il est grandement surévalué et ne vaut pas grand-chose dans mon estime!

Was he not struggling on worn tires that had no grip?

Was it his call to be out there at that time with gripless, worn out tires?

I addressed that in my first point..."Toto Wolf & company fell asleep at the switch, rather than changing their strategy on the last lap they prefered complaining to the race officials - and as a result they got burned and they cried "wolf"...LoL!"

i.e.: Mercedes should have changed their strategy by going from hard to soft tires for that one lap. If it was Hamilton's decision not to go to soft tires, then he doesn't know the difference btw hard/medium and soft tires which makes him even more incompetent than I thought!

 

[EagerBeaver]

How can you fall asleep and allow the best car to get lapped because it had worn out tires? Even I know to change my tires when the thread is worn. The rule is if you stick a Penny in the thread and you see all of Lincoln's head change the fucking tire!

 

[gaby]

Yep..can't wait to see RUSSELL next year with LEWIS.....un ménage à deux qui risque d'être explosif....lol.
