Rule says that all of the lapped cars should reset before the restart. I think, at first, the race official decided to have none reset. Verstappen complained and, oddly, the result was having only 5 lapped cars reset. Hamilton says, in practice, it gave Verstappen an easier ride. There was also an issue with Verstappen allegedly just slightly passing Hamilton prior to the restart which is also illegal. And all of that is in addition to the controversy on the first lap. What a mess and it would be a real shame IMO to change the result at this point.
Dimmy is right though, Hamilton was toast because of his tires.

Lots of "Max is champion for now" floating around the F1 world. I'm still kinda new to it all so I don't know much about all the rules but there's a shit ton of buzz around the decision to let the lapped cars between Max and Lewis go ahead of the safety car and circle back around to the back of the field. Don't know what the rules say about something as consequential as basically getting rid of all the traffic between P1 and P2. Either way it was a nail biter of a race and let's not forget how huge Max's teammate Perez was in holding Hamilton off. Crazy end to an exciting year.

When Hamilton got caught during the last safety car on hard tires he was f'd. Shame for it to end that way, he had no chance.

KINDA KEPT ONE EYE ON IT YEARS AGO, BUT NOT RECENTLY.
SHOULD BE FUN WATCHING WITH THEM BEING TIED UP.
USUALLY WITH ANY KIND OF AUTOSPORTS, ONE DRIVER HAS A PRETTY GOOD LEAD, AND THINGS NEED TO GO HORRIBLY WRONG FOR THEM TO LOSE THE TROPHY.

Any fans on the bored? First time since the 70s where the last race of the season will decide who is champion. Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen in a dead tie in drivers standings. Nothing against Hamilton but it damn sure makes it interesting to watch when the championship isn't practically wrapped up in September.Tags: None
