Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Season Ender

[mysavard (mysavard]

Well, NOBODY IN THE WORLD expected the race director (Michael Massy)  to change the rules 1 1/2 lap before the end. ALL CARS must get in position (unlap themselves) before the race can restart. Even then, a full lap has to be done still behind the pace-car with everybody in the correct order, NOT just the first 2.

It would have been boring to finish the race on a yellow, but that's racing. Blame it on Latifi who was fighting for 15th place. F1 is not Nascar, where even after 4 hours of racing, they make sure they get a photo finish any which way they can find.

That should have been an easy win for Hamilton and an 8th championship. Even Christian Horner said to the commentators a few laps before the incident 'We need the racing gods to come with a miracle'.

Michael Massy made that miracle happen.

Have you noticed Toto Wolff hasn't been heard yet ? He must be ballistic.

Then there is the obvious question: Why didn't Mercedes pull Hamilton in on
the Safety Car interval and put on new, probably Soft, tires? When I was
watching the race, my wife came in and said, "Its Over". My reply was, if
there is an accident, anything can happen. You have to play your best game
all the way to the end. It looked like Mercedes thought that they were "home
safe and dry" and stopped pushing. Even Hamilton questioned the tire tactics
(strategy is an often misused word).
