Don't really see the point - it's been done to death & nobody will change their mind.

Clearly intended from day one of the 2021 season, they worked really hard to end up at the last race so masi could fix it.

Masi was forced by both Brawn and Todt to do anything where possible to keep their man as the GOAT.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year to one and all.

Ridiculous conspiracy theory... although I guess it WOULD explain all the favouritism shown to Hamilton through the season to try to keep him in the race until the end... rofl

The best part about this thread is seeing the hamilton fans still shedding tears thumbup

Well, Oz was originally flooded with criminals, so supporting such behavior is understandable I guess... biggrin

I will match any favoritism shown to Lewis with some shown to Max...

Go!

I didn't join in thanking you on the race thread so I'll do it here, like for many others your F1 threads have become my go to source of info and discussion (I also use the F1 app for my local time info)

Thanks Tim, it’s always great to know that so many people find the F1 threads useful.

I’m inclined to think it was incompetence and arrogance over any intent. Maybe he did just want to end the race under green flag and just didn’t think through the impact of his SC decisions due to the pressure in the heat of the moment. It’s doesn’t change how terrible and unsporting a decision it was. Genuinely as poor as anything to happen in sport.

Born and bred Englishman here, unfortunately dragged to the colonies by my parents at 10 as my late Father's skills were required here. Oh and no thanks I'm not playing that silly game wink (My brother and his family are here for Christmas so there's already been LOTS of silly games! rofl

People need to stop bringing up AD21 it's still too raw...

What happened to Lewis makes Balestre look like he was acting like Senna's fairy Godmother.

I’ve seen some controversial moments in sport, but nothing quite tops AD ’21 for me. Nothing I’ve watched live anyway. Maradona’s ‘86 World Cup sthousery in that QF against England comes a close second. Third is probably Roy Jones Jr’s Olympic robbery in ’88 - partly because I almost had a row with my dad about it on Christmas Day. hehe

(I know you meant ‘stop’)

What Masi (hasn't) said about it tells you all you need to know. That Mercedes didn't challenge it is almost as bad, but indicative of what really drives the 'sport'.
