Nightcrawler Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 What a fiasco, but I think it made the most exciting race of the season with so many twists and turns, race stoppages, strategy changes and yellow flags, with the top two title contenders both doing everything to gain advantage. Must have been a nightmare for Race Control and the Stewards. I thought a the time, when Hamilton hit the back of Verstappen, that Verstappen was harshly treated. But then that is only what we could see as spectators. It turns out that Verstappen was later given a 10 point penalty after the Telemetry had been examined Of course I was probably bias as I am a Red Bull fan. It's down to the wire next week and I hope that the Stewards will be fair, as its the penultimate decider for the World Drivers Championship and possibly the Constructors Championship. Two F1 gladiators fighting it out with little between them on equal points, not seen for a very long time, if ever, in F1 Should be a cheek clenching contest in Abu Dhabi next weekend.

Stillearly Posted December 6, 2021 Author Share Posted December 6, 2021 Max will be even more dangerous next week , he has nothing to lose if he takes Lewis and himself out of the race ...although on the same points , he has one more win so would take the Championship 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

galenkia Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Nearly time. Who are you rooting for?. Lewis for me, don't like Max, arrogant tosser. Wouldn't take the knee either when everyone else was. Hope Bottas takes him out.🤪 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karon steve Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 For me the result was a travesty. Hamilton dominated start to the last lap. Can someone tell me why an F1 driver in a single seat car has to isolate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggles Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 I always support Max V but Hamilton was robbed. Crazy to let the 5 cars between them overtake, putting Max right behind Lewis. On new, soft tyres with 1 lap to go.! 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyman Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Utter disgrace. They may as well just let Masi decide the results and not bother to hold the races at all. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
