I don’t follow F1 closely.  Why the anti Horner sentiment?

Mainly because he's a twat.

A man who gets paid millions of pounds a year, to run one of only two F1 teams who have an annual budget north of £300m, yet still claims repeatedly that it's all so unfair?

No idea.

Because he is one of the most smug, intolerable ****** to wander the earth, has the morals of a grubby rat and the grace of jabba the hut. Apart from that I am sure he is lovely.

Meanwhile, the result fixed completely for the nasty shitbag that drives for him stands, despite the rules clearly being breached.

Farcical race decision only made because it was the last race. That happens halfway during the season then the race ends under safety car conditions.

This was the first Formula 1 race I have watched properly for years and years tbh. As far I could see, the result was basically arbitrary and depended on people crashing which totally nullified the previous 54 laps of racing. What a strange sport it has become; 

Probably been 20+ years since I watched one but IIRC a crash and a safety car coming out has always been a pretty big factor. Hamilton was unlucky it happened when it did but went wide on the last lap and paid the price. Happy for Verstappen and the Dutch fans cheering on their first World Champion.

He was on worn hard tyres. Against brand new soft tyres. What was he supposed to do.

A last lap that was contrived, and had Hamilton pitted and been behind Verstappen, I would bet my mortgage on them not re-starting. Today was a stain on sport to allow it to finish in such a contrived manner cooked up by Horner and Masi, especially when 30s before Horner whispered in his ear the lapped cars were not going to be released. Total fix, and Verstappen has been utterly objectionable all season.

It's mad isn't it.

"Lads, Mercedes have appealed against a decision we made."

"We'd better hold an investigation then"

"Anyone think we broke the rules?"

"Nope"

"Well that settles it then. Appeal dismissed!"

Shambles.

Are we getting any proper explain why only part of the field were allowed to unlap themselves?
