Quite why Mercedes are being lambasted for not predicting this situation is beyond me.

i think some people are too blinded by 1 event

The only thing I can think would happen is the FIA declare Abu Dhabi a non-result and remove the points awarded from each driver. Verstappen still wins on count back. Then we get in to Michael Masi and the Spa debacle.

I'll just leave this for you all to ponder.

I knew those 5 pts would be crucial

I've been made privvy to Mercedes race strategy after the restart.

So Toto isn’t keeping quiet either.
“He said that Mercedes believed they would have won their case on pure legal grounds but they did not think the FIA court of appeal would reach the right judgement.

"The FIA can't really mark their own homework," Wolff said. "There is a difference between being right and obtaining justice.”

'It still feels like a nightmare'

 

[Brogan]

Exactly that.

Hence why I said the case would need to be heard in a proper court. not the FIA kangaroo court.

If only the teams hadn't signed an agreement with the FIA that restricts any appeals to the FIA court (oh the irony) of appeal only.

Sign in haste, repent at leisure.

Ah well, another season where we can dispute who was Champion and why. I know F1 fans love a bit of controversy, after all there's often bugger all happening in the race for us to talk about.

Don't mention the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix! I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it.

Paddy Power paid out for both Hamilton and Verstappen to win the GP and WDC.

Fair play to them.

We at Paddy Power hate sporting injustices – so we’ve done our bit after a controversial end to the F1 season in Abu Dhabi.

Max Verstappen needed a miracle to win, and one duly arrived in the form of a dodgy decision from the race organisers who appeared to rip up the rulebook and go rogue for the final lap of the race.

Paddy Power pay out on Max Verstappen AND Lewis Hamilton F1 World Championship wins

And, we’ve shelled out on them both to win the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix too!
