He needed to go. The FIA might not release the full findings of their investigation but this says all you need to know.
Not sure that using VAR as a template is all that good an idea but at least they won't be badgered by Christian Horner any more.
Hopefully that's enough to convince Lewis Hamilton to carry on for another season or two.

The race and championship was over until this idiot stepped in with his own ridiculous rules….. Getting fired is the least he deserves….. What a moron.

Absolutely. it'll be fascinating to see whether they try and sweep it all under the carpet to make the sport and more particularly Michael Masi look less shady and incompetent, or go all in with it for the publicity.

There was no other option for them , IMO. He had to go.
Shame for Karen Horner.

F1 - Drive to survive new series on Netflix March 11th, should be an interesting last episode.

Well, it's as good as an admission of wrongdoing. Doesn't bring Hamilton the title but essentially indicates it was robbed from him.

Both Red Bull and Mercedes were trying to wear the fucker like a sock puppet for every decision since Silverstone.
The FIA should make the comms ONE WAY until race control have decided and DICTATED what is going to happen.
More like a rugby referee.

"he could have gone off or had a puncture etc......unlikely but possible "
I think legally courts would look at the most likely outcome rather than the infinite possibilities.
I suppose for Hamilton he's already won 7 so it will just make the next one sweeter really.
Also, the other guy will never really be able to enjoy this title as all the fans will know he didnt deserve it.

In the finale, it was very much 2 v 1, Perez and Max against Hamilton, as Bottas had checked out and couldn't give a fuck.
Red Bull fueling Perez for only 80% of the race obviously helped him stay right up the top end and match Max's pace. Had to retire him before the end of the race obviously, despite the safety car period.
Perez can't live with the pace at the top end. Got a feeling Russell will be able to, but will also play the Merc line next year to help the team and thus his teammate. The year after, once he's fully up to speed, will be George's year. And Hamilton will have retired as an 8 time champion.

Very difficult to get to become a top F1 driver but if you look at where drivers come from to get to the pinnacle you’ll see that Verstappen’s path was far smoother than Hamilton’s.
Call them entitled if you like but you simply cannot become the number one driver in a top team without being extra special.
Anyway next season Hamilton will have two major rivals in Verstappen and Russell. And with the regulation changes their might be more than two competing teams on the grid, all good for the sport.

Though I'm reality, Hamilton, a genius in the car and an absolute dickhead outside of it, has been pretty humble since the defeat. Given his wealth he's probably well over it and already enjoying everything else he has in life. Which is a lot more than you or I.

I'm glad Hamilton lost because he's an entitled fucking cunt. The fact it's under potentially iffy circumstances is even better because that'll rankle with him and simultaneously take the shine off the other entitled prick's win.
What a pair of colossal bellends they are.

they wont overturn it as there are too many variables......if the lapped cars were left in position then Hamilton most likely would have won but no guarantees.....he could have gone off or had a puncture etc......unlikely but possible
They just royally fucked it up, itll always be remembered and looked back on as that......tough for Hamilton to take and Masi should be tin tacked

I’m not into f1 so forgive my ignorance. But why is it that if everyone I’ve heard comment on this (both newspapers and online) thinks this was ridiculous and unfair, why won’t they change the result?
What am I missing here. It seems completey obvious that whoever was in charge got it wrong and made up rule changes on the spot. If Hamilton knew the rules were going to end up like that wouldn’t he have got his tyres changed too for example?
I just don’t understand why they won’t sue for or the FIA won’t overturn the result?

I wish someone had said to masi over the mic that if he wanted verstappen to win so much why not just say so and they could have saved wasting their day

Whatever it was, it was shite and as a bloke who looked in, after decades, I will not be doing so again
Interesting comments I picked up somewhere around the potential of Hamilton retiring and Merc copping the piss and accelerating their departure from the 'sport' - apparently would have massive repercussions across various other teams that rely upon their engines and technology
So I'm not the only one who thought the whole pantomime a charade

Yesterday was a man in a faster car beating a man in a slower car.
Much the same as it always is.
Just a slightly more dramatic example of the same thing that happens every week

"Like someone racing a Lamborghini against a Ford Fiesta down Southend sea front."
Do those normally end with the bloke who was able to afford the Lamborghini being penalised enough to make it so the Ford Fiesta wins the race down Southend sea front?
