Here’s what the regulations say:
48.12 If the clerk of the course considers it safe to do so, and the message "LAPPED CARS MAY NOW OVERTAKE" has been sent to all Competitors via the official messaging system, any cars that have been lapped by the leader will be required to pass the cars on the lead lap and the safety car. This will only apply to cars that were lapped at the time they crossed the Line at the end of the lap during which they crossed the first Safety Car line for the second time after the safety car was deployed. Having overtaken the cars on the lead lap and the safety car these cars should then proceed around the track at an appropriate speed, without overtaking, and make every effort to take up position at the back of the line of cars behind the safety car. Whilst they are overtaking, and in order to ensure this may be carried out safely, the cars on the lead lap must always stay on the racing line unless deviating from it is unavoidable. Unless the clerk of the course considers the presence of the safety car is still necessary, once the last lapped car has passed the leader the safety car will return to the pits at the end of the following lap. If the clerk of the course considers track conditions are unsuitable for overtaking the message "OVERTAKING WILL NOT BE PERMITTED" will be sent to all Competitors via the official messaging system. 48.13 When the clerk of the course decides it is safe to call in the safety car the message "SAFETY CAR IN THIS LAP" will be sent to all Competitors via the official messaging system and the car's orange lights will be extinguished. This will be the signal to the Competitors and drivers that it will be entering the pit lane at the end of that lap. I suspect Merc will be reading “once the last lapped car has passed the leader the safety car will return to the pits at the end of the following lap.” and saying that it means all of the lapped cars have to unlap themselves before the SC comes in. I read it as saying that’s a reason for the SC to come in, not a requirement that all cars have to unlap themselves. 48.13 says the clerk of the course can call the SC in when he decides it’s safe to do so. No requirement to have cars unlap themselves. I can’t see the FIA changing the results, at least because they know what a shitstorm that would set off. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Guess you really haven't watched F1 then if you think there has never been a better F1 driver than Lewis. Against Schu or Senna or several others in their prime they would have destroyed him. The only reason he got Champs 2-7 was because Mercedes got the Turbo Hybrid Era nailed from the get go.....and all the support from FIA. I agree he had the best car absolutely Against Schumacher, Senna, Clark or Rosemeyer the other 4 with Hamilton are IMO the greatest of all time Lewis would do well but it is questionable if he could best them in their era. In this era of computer design he would be their equal but against Schumacher in 2000 who used his brain like a computer to improve the car (Like Lauda did in his day) he would have been competitive but would have not beaten Schumi. That is of course IMO something some here seem to think is unwelcome in the anti-Lewis club If they take this away from Verstappen it will be a travesty and a tragedy. Max won and looking for nit picky BS to change what happened on the track will ruin the sport for years to come |

Quote HistoryQuoted: They are challenging the race results. Ultimately, if it is determined that Massi has the power to make the call, then the results will stand. The question is: did Massi tell Merc one thing, which influenced their pit strategy, then changed his mind. I don't think that happened based on the radio coms that confirmed Merc was going to stay out to keep position. I can’t imagine that Massi would tell Merc, or anyone else, the the race would definitely finish under the SC. |

Remember the theme for the race director and stewards this year has been "let them race."
Massi let them do just that. I think that's how they will decide. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Valtteri Bottas drives the same car as Hamilton.. There is no doubt the Mercedes has been the main reason Hamilton has been able to win these 6 of his 7 titles. I am sure Vettel or Alonso would have won most of those in that car and Lewis was in a different car but let me be clear: I have no reason to like or dislike any F1 driver and try to stay away from what they are like except their driving. Hamilton makes fewer mistakes and drives as clean or cleaner than any other top driver. I salute Verstappen for his win and a great season and am happy someone else is champ but being honest there is a reason he is called "Mad Max" Verstappen never had to worry about Hamilton stepping out but Hamilton certainly knew Max could/would If we had all the drivers in a room and you and I said "who wants to grab some M4s and run some CQC drills?" I would bet only one guy would jump up and join us: Lewis Hamilton Bottas drives the same car but not the same engine. His engine is always detuned down from Hamiltons |

He was playing games and Max pulled along side of him. At one point, Max was about 6 inches ahead of him. It would be a fitting end to the season (as mentioned before) if they change the results because of this. |

Take all the theatrics out of it….both Hamilton and max had their breaks over the season. And after last weeks brake check, both were even on points and “on track racing events”…..the ending of todays race was a let down for the fans of F1 racing as a sport
Many closet racists wanted max to win regardless, and he did But the better racer in today’s race was Hamilton. Anyone that says he couldn’t drive an older car has not raced anything. Good drivers can race better in any car of the era, it’s like a golfer. They can golf better than 99.9% of the world using too short, ladies clubs The end of today’s race was some NASCAR level bullshit At minimum, they should have redflagged the race at the last crash, cleaned up and given them 5 laps to race The 1/2 lap sprint finish was some NASCAR script, playing in to future marketing potential….crap end to the season And I am a Gasly fan. So I didn’t care who wins as long as it was good racing and not mAx taking Hamilton out in a corner on lap 4 |

It's just another example of HAM's bullshit game-playing. Had he maintained some sort of pace, there would be no pass. But, he slowed to a crawl and Max could have just rear-ended HAM. Maybe that was what lulu hoped would happen, bust Max's wing up real good, Max possibly gets docked points or a time penalty, race done.

Many times behind the SC you see people momentarily get in from when the guy in front brakes hard to warm his brakes and tires. The guy behind drops back to get into the correct position and no says anything. If Hammy was in front when they reached the SC car line, that protest is going to be summarily dismissed. |

However, I will acknowledge he had the faster car today. There was no basis to red flag the race. They only do that in specific circumstances, like when they need to repair crash barriers or there is too much debris spread all over the track that the cars can’t safely navigate through. This wasn’t a red flag situation. SC was the right call. |

And after last weeks brake check, both were even on points and “on track racing events”…..the ending of todays race was a let down for the fans of F1 racing as a sport Many closet racists wanted max to win regardless, and he did But the better racer in today’s race was Hamilton. Anyone that says he couldn’t drive an older car has not raced anything. Good drivers can race better in any car of the era, it’s like a golfer. They can golf better than 99.9% of the world using too short, ladies clubs The end of today’s race was some NASCAR level bullshit At minimum, they should have redflagged the race at the last crash, cleaned up and given them 5 laps to race The 1/2 lap sprint finish was some NASCAR script, playing in to future marketing potential….crap end to the season And I am a Gasly fan. So I didn’t care who wins as long as it was good racing and not mAx taking Hamilton out in a corner on lap 4 Yea I mean Bottas smashes both Red Bull’s out at Hungary, gets a 5 place penalty and Max and Checo get 10 place grid penalties for new engines destroyed plus Max loses 18 points for a 2nd place and Checo loses at least 12 points. They were all even going into that race. Righttttttt. I still think Checo should have went Merc bowling but I’m glad he didn’t have to. |
