      Well said Jacques….

          Well let’s not follow Sky Sports on their view of descent conduct and let’s hope the best man wins this weekend.

          (I think Max actually experienced a white/black-out at exact that moment…)

              Same here. Hoping for a clean race and then the winner will be deserved World Champion 🙂

                This feeling remind me of Christmas Eve when I was like 7 [emoji23] So curious to see how it plays out…I’m glad they’re on different tyre strategies…should make for an interesting race! My guess is that Max will be hunting down Lewis on fresher tyres for the last 10 or so laps but won’t be able to make the pass.

                  I didn’t have high hopes for Max looking at the performance of Mercedes the last races but after Q3 everything is on the table and to play for. Different strategy from the get go promises a race we will prob never forget.

                    [emoji2962] What an insane end to an insane season. Don’t really know how to feel about the whole situation. I just wish the safety car would have happened two laps earlier so Max could have won without controversy [emoji23]

                      May as well have saved a lot of time and trouble and just black-flagged Lewis…. 😃 😃

                      Michael Masi is an actual joke......His inconsistency through the season (both ways) was pitiful......

                        The way I see it, Lewis had 2 chances to pit, but chose track position over pitting . Well, as they say, you make your bed, now sleep in it

                          They were in a tough spot. I think if the roles were reversed Red Bull would have done what Mercedes did. The stewards decision was an interesting one, but as someone who isn’t a die hard fan of max or Lewis I’m glad they went this route instead of having the race end under a safety car or restarting the race without getting the lapped cars out of the way (which would have been just as unprecedented as the decision that was made). Nonetheless, it’s impossible not to feel gutted for Lewis.

                            It's really not that impossible… I don't think my brother was feeling so either, as we were both screaming at the television as Max won...  😎

                                The only other logical outcome would have been that this race was discarded because you can not let Max for a mistake the stewards make (overtaking under safety car was already off the table a while ago), which would also have resulted in Max being World champion.

                                I am very glad that a car with a Mercedes engine was the reason for this safety car situation though…

                                        Indeed everybody has complaint’s about this. They should have faster cars for safety cars, but money rules and a spectator can’t buy an lmp2 car for example and there you go…
