And Toto didn't?? over virtual yellow etc come on!! Both teams and their principals have been at it all season long!! I agree with you that we may not have heard the end of it yet!!

I'm utterly gobsmacked by what I've seen today. I thought F1 had reached peak farce last week but this is a whole new level of stupid.

Yes, Wolff did exactly the same and it shouldn't be allowed (contact only by email would solve it) but the difference is that Masi caved under pressure from Horner and you have to ask why.

I guess that given the type of season it has been, it was kind of inevitable that we would end with something like this!!

Agree!!

Both appeals rejected. That'll be a trip to CAS then.

That's why Mercedes took a QC to the race.

Jesus, with all the real world is dealing with, let it go!! Hamilton still walks away with seven, and room for more, and a few more millions in the bank. (don't begrudge him that btw).

Actually, if the Fia hadn't started to introduce so many unnecessary and stringent rules, and let them get on with it (within reason yes) we wouldn't be here. Both Lewis and Max in fairness to them, have given F1 some credibility back with their duel this year in the continued absence of racing (overtakes etc) elsewhere in the field. If only they were allowed to get on with it!!. I wonder how many of the current regs we could do without?? that exist away from the safety element??

Some may scoff, but roll on Formula e. overtaking, collisions etc, and in the main, minimal intervention from stewards juries or anyone else!! By the way 170+ mph in Formula e is not slow by any standard, but i digress!
