And I wouldn't be surprised if Nikita Mazepin does something stupid to ruin it for one of them!

I wasn't far off. Nicholas Latifi. Wow. Just wow.

Not over yet as FIA broke their own rules and now appeals in place and Mercedes have a strong case as they are sticking to the rules. There were 2 rules broken and can see Mercedes winning at least 1 of them.

The problem's going to be that it was the FIA who broke their own rules so to effectively penalise Max Verstappen and Red Bull for this would be as harsh as the decision to let the cars unlap themselves in the 1st place.

From what I heard after the race, it's the decision to let the cars unlap themselves and then instantly bring the safety car in which is the main problem. All cars should have unlapped themselves and then an additional lap before the safety car comes in - effectively ending the race. I think it was David Coulthard who said afterwards something along the lines of:

It's the FIA who have broken their own rules. If it's a complaint to the FIA about the FIA and a judgement is required, we all know which side the FIA will favour.

As much as I'd love to see Hamilton become an 8 time world champion, I can't see them taking it away from Max.

I wonder how long the arguments will rumble on for. Michael Massey's resignation feels inevitable at this point.

Nobody wanted the title decider to be settled with them crashing. Perhaps that would have been preferable to the shambles that we experienced in the end.
