    I was thinking when Horner was doing his interviews post race with all his “let them race”, imagine if this was on the other foot. Max and Christian would’ve been unhinged with their protests and comments.

    As a neutral in all of this, I think you’re wrong. Both sides have been on it all season. It needs to stop by muting their line to Masi during the race.

    I think Max would have been as respectful TO Lewis but wouldn't be as mature as Lewis is to keep quiet to the media after.

    Jos definitely wouldn't have been as respectful as Anthony though. Definitely wouldn't.

    Lewis handled it amazingly. I can't imagine in the same postion I would have been as cool.

    Agree on having a direct line in to the race controller. Shouldn’t happen. But Horner is the darling of the media and uses that to his advantage. Mercedes don’t layer on anywhere near as much.

    So we ignore that rule as well?

    Max would have still be having a hissy fit right now. This is the same Max that drove over Lewis’ head and didn’t even go and check on him before storming off - even though he was at fault.

    The evidence suggests he’d have been the same here.

    I didn't realise that it was 9 8. Hadn't looked into that much detail.

    Spa was yet another example of Masi making it up as he went along. Randomly paused the clock after letting it run down for over an hour

    You seem to be looking for an argument with me when I've not disagreed with anything you've said.

    Behind the safety Car Lewis is entitled to drive at whatever pace he wants until they reach the restart line. What you can't do is accelerate then slow suddenly, which he didn't.
    It's a hell of small infringement but again by the letter of the rules he is ahead. Given how they been treated I can't blame Mercedes for trying it.

    If a driver breaks the rules they break the rules. It’s as black and white as that.

    Not sure what the definition of overtake is to be honest or what the precedents are for such actions. I'm sure I've seen it many times before though with cars getting close like that

    You're in a thread debating the conclusion of a GP. I asked if we should ignore another rule. It's not looking for an argument, it's just a discussion.

    Neither can I. If I were them I'd be trying everything I can because they've done nothing wrong at all

    Surely it’s just like in football. If the ref gives a dodgy penalty which results in one team winning, you can’t then replay everything. It happens all the time in sport where the wrong decisions are made, you can’t retrospectively change results because one bloke made a complete balls up of the situation.

    I was wondering myself if the boot would have been in the other foot today and it was Lewis trying to pass max on that final lap would max have taken him off

    Martin Brundle is right, this doesn't come down to interpretation, it isn't a overtake and a judgment call. It's just following the rules.
    I actually half agree with @YTBFC it should be overturned. I just can't see them doing it.

    100%. Loose cannon in those situations but never put under pressure for it.

    In that case Whitey then no I don't think any rules should be overlooked. I think they should all be much clearer hard and fast rules. None of this 'if you do this you can have penalty, a, b or c depending on what we think'. It doesn't work
