Surely there has to be an appeal against the end there, decision is made to leave the lapped cars in place, Horner has a sulk and suddenly the decision is changed to effectively hand it to Verstappen.

I bet Horner was onto the race director to get a race on, shite Lewis had no chance on old tyres.

I don’t understand that at all.  To be honest I don’t really understand f1 full stop

But that just seems to ridiculous.

It’s like in football being 2 nil up - and then the referee deciding it will be decided by next goal wins

Not a massive follower of F1, but that just seemed utterly corrupt.

I fucking detest Red Bull. That result is an absolute fucking fix. At least the ratings will go back up now. I just hope rules become more consistent not let 4 cars through so you can have your “super Sunday” result. Fuck Red Bull I hope that they never win another championship. Jos Verstappen can finally get glory though at least.

I'm pleased for his Dad.
But to effectively go the opposite way with the back markers after we all heard Horners request is just shite.
Just like Jim Beglin, Horner can do one.

He fucking was. He asked why did they make the decision to not allow lapped cars to overtake safety car and director said to him give me a minute and I will come back to you. 39 seconds later decision was made to allow lapped cars to overtake and clear the track for one race lap thus rewarding Red Bull for poor performance all afternoon and pitting during safety car. An awful corrupt reversal under pressure.

Why do they talk to salty spice in the race? I didn’t hear any other RDs speak to sky. Ah well, Netflix footage. I’ve followed F1 since 1986. I simply cannot be fucking bothered after this season. Thanks Latifi you absolute throbber

It’s always been money in F1 but to win on inconsistent officiating. That decision and massis explanation to toto is awful. All backmarkers should have passed or none. I will get over it and at least it has been entertaining but that’s just it, it doesn’t feel like a sport anymore.

Well done Max. Fuck Red Bull

This one will go to court. 
Don’t think I have ever seen something this ridiculous.
Utter corruption.
