Thanks for posting Stephen
In all honesty I am still too angry at Masi to post my thoughts cogently.
However, a couple of thoughts that occur to me (utterly irrelevant of course). Did RB short fuel Perez which aided his ability to block/race so superbly when Lewis was trying to pass (he later had to stop and couldn’t see why as he had no obvious issue with his car). Second, and I genuinely like Bottas, but did his v poor race contribute to Lewis losing the title-had he not been so far behind he would have prevented Max from taking the extra “free” pit stops for fresh tyres and therefore be in such a strong situation at the restart.
None of which detracts from the decision by Masi to ignore his own words (at Hockenheim I think, post Lando car fire) where he insisted all lapped cars must go past safety car plus safety car back “in the following” lap.
I have never seen a more blatant fix for TV entertainment imo.
Max has driven v well (albeit dangerously which needs addressing in future) and is a worthy world champion. I wish those associated with him eg Marko/Horner would show some class/humility in their language however post victory. I have to say Lewis and his dad showed more class than I think I would be capable of immediately post race.
Bring on 2022 - I truly cannot wait for the brand new regs! 72 days til testing in Barcelona or thereabouts
