That wasn't right..Red Bull won by doing what they do best...

 

[Samus]

So in the end Max wins because of huge luck. SC gives them the title.

 

[NotThePrez]

What the 🤬 was that.

 

[Liquid]

Speechless. I am... speechless.

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

FIA literally decided the title. What an utter farce.

 

[Blitz24]

That's pathetic.

I was wrong. Mostly because I didn't expect the FIA to bungle it this badly.

 

[Northstar]

It sucks that the closest battle in recent memory was ruined by so many crappy calls by race control.

Congrats to Max though.

 

[VulcanSpirit]

What a farcical way to decide the championship. Will the stewards be investigating Verstappen's move this time, I wonder?

If they aren't, I fear this will be a bad precedent for all FIA championships going forward as far as driving standards are concerned...

 

[Jubby]

Next year, just do a 1 lap shootout. This way the FIA can't screw it up.

Congrats Max. I don't care what anyone says, you deserve it. Lewis tried, got screwed by strategy and did all he could.

 

[AshenGraey]

I'm conflicted about this ending....not even because Lewis didn't win but what the hell happened with this race?

 

[Famine]

 

[Grayfox]

Well in a season where the FIA makes the rules up, it makes sense that the title was won by the FIA changing its mind again and again.

If they let the cars past sooner, the SC would've ended sooner

 

[Team THRT Drift]

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

 

[Jimlaad43]

Like, this wouldn't be a controversy if they hadn't decided to NOT let the lapped cars through. Letting them through normally would have made sense, so no wonder this is going to cause a 💩show.

 

[Fat Tyre]

I think I'll stop watching F1. This is just WWE level bull ****.

 

[MSZ]

Well. At the end of the day, Max won more races this year than Lewis did. He deserves the title IMO.

Not happy how this race ended though.

 

[EngieDiesel]

Well, that's that I guess.

 

[McLaren]

Lol, that was a joke of a decision.

 

[Dennisch]

This is the best ****ing moment for me.

 

[Rossell2]

Yeah not impressed with the FIA there to be honest. Congrats to Max naturally.

 

[pumaATTACK]

That was so so bad. Just a farce

 

[Demon Drone]

The pinnacle of motorsport my ass. I'm shutting this garbage off. Congrats Max on winning your rigged title.

 

[C-ZETA]

I knew this would be the end of F1 as I knew it. That was a sporting disgrace. Still, at least there's hundreds of other motorsport series out there we can all watch instead...

 

[Rob192005]

I'll go on record and say that's the only way Max will ever win a title...

 

[Touring Mars]

To be fair, Red Bull threw the dice and gave Max every chance they could, and both Max and Lewis did everything fairly.

Very controversial decision to let those cars pass with just seconds left to decide. I personally think they should have let the cars through in the first place, so I think the right decision was made but done in the wrong way, but that said, it was a truly unique set of circumstances.

Bad luck for Lewis, but immense for Max.

 

[MagpieRacer]

Unreal. 2 pages ago everyone was saying the lapped cars should be moved out of the way. And when it happens everyone complains.

What a way to end the championship. Very fitting for the season it’s been.

 

[Tyrone B]

What an utter clown show.

 

[andrea]

He did it!

Mad lad

He ****ing did it!

 

[Grayfox]

Well. At the end of the day, Max won more races this year than Lewis did. He deserves the title IMO.

Not happy how this race ended though.

If Max did not get screwed by Benz in 2 races he would've been WC already.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

In hindsight they should've just pitted Hamilton for the softs, but it was all decided by when the safety car ended.
