Me too, but the FIA has a point here. The FIA is getting blamed for trying to keep things civil, but in the end, we all know deep down that whether or not this happens (winner decided at checkered) doesn't rely on the FIA, but on the championship leader not being a dick and racing fairly (applicable to all seasons and drivers really, just made worse this year due to the style of who is leading right now).

I don't know how we came to this situation, where the officials are blamed for every decision and held to a very high almost impossible standard, but drivers on track are somehow excused for having really poor racecraft standards, with the behaviour accepted more or less depending on who you're most fan of.

Here's a crazy idea: when both cars stay on track and don't collide, the officials literally don't even investigate anything.

Easy one. Ban Lewis and Max from the championship and hand it to Valtteri!

Any word on whether C4 will be showing qualifying live too, or just the race? It's a shame to have to put up with Crofty when Alex Jacques and DC are better, but I'll still take this as a big win.


Sort of hoping they'll utilise the red button for alternative commentary feeds....maybe :whistling:

Bloody Hell, Masi and the FIA are just dying to add a little more drama aren't they. It has become so clear that he has no respect from the drivers and can't level any sort of control over them.

I guess that is what happens when you seemingly flip flop from every decision or non decision.

I also find it infuriating that every time an incident occurs you basically see Masi come out and say "Well I can't make any decisions it is the Stewards who do". Sounds straight out of the middling middle management handbook. We ALL have one of those managers.

he's trying to look like that sort of boss who wants to rule above all despite not looking bad and it turns out he cannot even place authority, neither looking good. Just another office jerk

Seemed bigger because of the way it bounced around I guess

At least it's not the race gearbox.
