Wow, Masi standing up to Toto saying we go to race!
~FORZA FERRARI~
F1 has become a joke with such rules tweaks race by race
Let me start by saying that I equally despise both Hamilton and Verstappen, but what the hell was that? Only letting the lapped cars positioned between Verstappen and Hamilton unlap themselves? Not waiting for them to rejoin the pack? What is this? WWE? This was ridiculous. And again, I'm by no means a Hamilton fan, quite the contrary, but this is some next level BS.
Maxi laying down the "law" to Toto.
It's not how start but how you finish.
F1 has always been like the WWE. Rules are pretty clear but the stewards and the FIA hardly follow it. Forcing someone off the track doesn't earn you a penalty, Brake testing means only 10-seconds penalty and not letting the unlapped cars to joint the queue etc etc...
But this year's championship fight takes the cake.
Yup, as silly as it gets. But that’s been F1 for the last 8 years. Rules change by the minute to the benefit of Mercedes and Hamilton. So what goes around comes around I guess. Bespoke regulations, rules, tires, tracks, penalties all for the favour of Merc. Eventually it has to go another way right?
Let’s hope this ends Merc-Ham dominance and Ferrari destroys the competition next year and onward!!

Hes lacking race pace, he should work out next year on that. Where as Sainz always manages his tyres in race. Thats why hes close to leclerc. Anyways its good to see both driving those wheels of the car.
Waiting for next year, should give max/ham run for their money.
???Leclerc: "not my best race. Thank you anyway."
Binotto: "we're going to have fun next year - you too, you'll see. You were very unlucky this season."
Aye Mattia, aye... #AbuDhabiGP
FERRARI FOR EVER !!!!!!!
As Greig said this is one way overdue KARMA for 2008! It could not come at better time
Today is a day, in UFC the underdog wins, in F1 the RB is not the underdog but it's suits my day no more LH and TOTO MERCFIA! thanks williams.
I don't think Charles is lacking race pace. Charles is way ahead of Sainz in head-head when both finished the race.
But Sainz bagged up 4 podiums when Charles only scored one point. One was a DNS, two of them were DNFs and today was a bad strategy call from Ferrari by pitting under the VSC.
Only his luck needs to change. And Ferrari needs to give him a car like the Red Bull or the Mercedes.
LH: THIS IS UNBELIVABLE MAN for the Williams crash and the SC!
Michael's record of five consecutive titles (and with one team) is safe for now as well
The objective of letting lapped cars past is to allow the leaders to race.
If it was safe to let them race for 1 lap, then it was the right thing to do. Rather than unnecessarily waiting for lapped cars to catch up which they won't anyway due to the number of laps left, and end the race in SC.
But Binotto is completely correct with is assessment. Let's see:
Lost an easy podium in Imola because of the red flag
DNS in Monaco
Lost a win Silverstone, again because of the red flag which allowed Ham to fix up his car
Gets taken out by Stroll in Hungary, otherwise would've been P2 at the end of the 1st lap
Started from the back in Russia and was running P4 before the rain hit, gambled like Norris and lost an easy top 4 finish
Again lost an easy podium in Turkey, because both him and Ferrari gambled for the win rather than securing an easy podium finish
Would've finished P3 in Saudi, but again the red flag screwed him over
Pitted under the VSC today but again his gamble backfired, unlike other instances when drivers pitted under the VSC pretty much always benefited
And if you say that DNS in Monaco was his fault then you should also consider that, Sainz crashed in Hungary qualifying as well and started from P15. But he finished P3 in that race while Charles got take out at the first corner.
So yeah...Charles had absolute rotten luck this year. His P7 standing doesn't reflect his performance.
According to sporting Reg it’s not. Race directors should also follow Reg’s right?
Next point is … first they said “lapped cars shouldn’t be allowed” which is wrong… then they reversed their decision to “only 3 cars to be allowed” which is also wrong. If second one is right, then 1st one should also be right. ??
