Lmfao yeah this is the point

Lewis was def in a bad situation but the whole argument was following the established procedure would have meant either cars between lewis and max or finishing under yellow. Masi changed the rules on the fly because he thought it would be cool, that’s the loving issue lmao

FIA are giving Mercedes $999 billion, and also allowing them to run the Brabham Fan Car next year.
This would be a very correct and moral outcome, because Niki was John the Baptist to Sir Lewis’s Jesus of Nazareth, and Niki won in the fan car.

So what's going on with Lewis' giant tantrum and the reports from Mercedes on the progress of said tantrum and FIA? Well it's being reported as if FIA is turbofucked because Mercedes is on their case but...

Mercedes is the one turbofucked with Lewis here. If they don't get the result Lewis wants, eg that they don't gently caress up a season like they did last year and if possible, a FIA that will be nicer to him, he won't come back. For Mercedes that means getting the right deal from FIA and avoid a nasty contractual buyout situation enforced by Lewis' lawyers.

That's what all this public song and dance from Mercedes is about, to convince Lewis that they're trying to get the best deal from FIA they can. Lewis doesn't care if he doesn't have any leverage over FIA, he only has to gently caress Mercedes over and that will be enough for him. That's not looking good for Mercedes, they can't predict the future and I have serious doubts FIA will actually fix anything to anyone's satisfaction let alone Lewis'.

It was just Ricciardo I think, and then Schumacher was the only other lapped car further behind.

Masi should have just let all the cars unlap themselves a lap earlier - then there would have been no issue and it would just be a poo poo happens event. Though I would have really loved to see a crying Max in an interview like Andy Roddick after Fed beat him for his 6th or 7th or whatever title.

That said, I will laugh really hard if they do pull some fuckery a la WRC 1986 where Markku Alen was WDC for 11 days before having it revoked. I think that's the only other time its happened

It would be hilarious if they'd semi-cave to Mercedes and annul the 2021 Abu Dhabi race leaving Lewis and Max with 369.5 points each and Max still WDC 2021 for having more race wins.

Isn't going to matter going forward.

The only cars between Max in the back and Carlos in the front will be backmarkers Max won't be able to overtake in his piece of poo poo car as Scud Bois go for 1/2 in every race...

I honestly think that is the bigger hangup.
It would gently caress over a Sainz podium, a Yuki P4, Ga5ly etc.

Watching idiots read their own biases into the tea leaves of Lewis's silence and a bunch of unsubstantiated articles on "sources" is pretty good comedy too.
