If only they followed them.
I'm not a Max or Lewis fan I'm happy with great racing and anyone except Ferrari winning. But I can't like days like today.
I think that Masi is out of his depth and lacks the mental capacity to make decisions on the run.
I hate the fact the team managers can talk to him. It's a distraction to his job and leaves him open to influence.
As it happens this is the last race I'll be watching live via sky. The missus wants skyQ and I'll lose the free SkyF1 we have with the current HD package. Having watched this season, I don't think I'll miss it as much as I would a few years ago.
There is too many penalties, too much stewards input and too much "whistle".
I'll still watch c4 highlights.

I have always thought about this for years watching f1
Why when the safety car comes out are all the cars allowed to bunch up leading to the leading car losing what ever seconds advantage he had.
Just doesn't seem fair to me.

Sack Masi!
If it was a restart it should have been restarted in the position in which the flag was called! Allowing Verstappen to restart alongside Lewis when he was on fresh soft tyres was unfair !
They should have continued the race under the yellow flag ! This was how it was done at Spa .
Lewis showed that he was a true sportsman in congratulating Max . He also showed that he had the faster car .

I didn't think the race where Lewis was the only person on the grid on the wrong tyres whilst the rest went to the pits was fair either.

There was nothing, other than himself and his team, stopping him from doing the same.

And replace him with who?
As his ex teammate, Rosberg and Brundle, have said.

Mercedes have launched appeals. Sad if this ends up in sports arbitration.

Overtaking* under the safety car being one of the issues/points being argued.
*less than 10cm for less than a second, based on the camera on Verstappens car, with Hamilton on the outside line.

That’s a technicality. The more serious appeal is restarting the race early.

I thought Nico Rosberg's comments were pretty fair considering he and Lewis weren't the best of buddies when they raced together . His views were more impartial than either David Coulthard or Mark Webbers . As he said it should have been a red flag if they were going to do a sprint race .
