Delighted to see Mercedes' appeal against Verstappen thrown out. The Germans are bad losers and expect to use their clout to influence decisions in their favour.

I can see why some folk object to the result because Hamilton had led for most of the race. Fact is that F1 has rules regarding the deployment of the Safety Car. It allows teams to make pit stops and Red Bull chose to bring Max in for fresh tyres whilst Hamilton stayed out on a used set.

At the restart Max was able to use his advantage to pass Hamilton and clinch the World Title. Good for Max. Shame for Hamilton. But not unfair. All played to the rules.

Next season should be fun.

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

"All played to the rules" that were modified twice while following the safety car, from no cars allowed to overtake the leader and then to only the five cars between Max and Lewis allowed to overtake.

Verstappen may well have celebrated but it's hard to call that a victory. Makes a farce of the sport.

It's no surprise to hear Clarkson and other notable brexit f**ts leading off in support of Verstappen's completely undeserved and false victory.

They are like Johnsons brexit deal, addicted losers while emitting vacuous hot air.

Since we left the EU British sport has been a total failure we are being beaten at everything.

The pinnacle must be leading 5-0 against Germany in the Davis Cup but defeated 5-7, a feat thought nigh impossible.

Cricket not won a thing a team with only one good player Root.

Football euro final penalty angst accompanied by fan disgrace.

Palace are a surprise, actually better fortunately though we have a French manager who doesn't just station 10 men behind the ball.

Hamilton our last hope and deprived by a stitch-up, what sportsmanship he showed.

Like anything from that part of the world, now imported here.

They knew if they if they didn't let those cars through past the safety car that Lewis would have won. They handed it to Max.

Don't get me wrong if it was as a straight race and Max won then he won it fair and square but that was wrong and they knew it.

At least Lewis took it gracefully .... lets see what happens next season.

Record crowd 51,482 - The Whitehorse was rocking - Second Div Champs 1978 - 79 ... 'wot a night !

As people has said; Just a disgrace of a Race. How this can continue to be called a Sport is beyond me.
It Was the Race director, Masi, who decided who won the race. He disregarded all sporting efforts made and made it about a dramatic ending.

There's so much wrong with this 'sport', but please lets at least learn from it and make it better;

For me the most unjust of it all is the Safety Car rules. Surely now they must change. To have a system that effectively wipes out an advantage fairly gained on a field of sport - because of a completely unrelated incident is as unjust as it comes in sport.

If I had my way, I'd stop all Tyre changes behind a SC, but I get that you need to allow tyre changes under a safety car for safety reasons, but the way it is handled right now is unfair to any driver except the one in last place.
For me, 2 things need to happen to make it a fairer playing field;
1) ALL Cars are allowed to change tyres without penalty (and are able to retain race position behind the SC).
2) SC Release to be staggered to maintain racing distance. This is the Biggy for me. And I dont see why can't implement it (although I see why they won't implement it..) It might mean a bit of new tech to be included to aid release of each car, but it's not like it's unachievable.

Yes, so you'll take away some excitement and entertainment, but that's big price to pay when your talking sport.

The other thing that they can do is go all Touring car or Moto GP. - have 2 (or 3!) shorter races. this will eliminate the strategy element, and make Safety cars less costly to the outcome.

The one thing it can't do is have another season like this year. Brundle said it's the most exciting it's been for 25 years. - but it's engineered excitement at the expense of sporting integrity.

"It was a Team effort, I guess it took all players working together to lose this one"
