F1 showdown thread 11:38 - Dec 12 with 16799 views | bluelagos | In case anyone is unaware, is live on C4 today, coverage starts at 12, race at 1pm. Winner takes all. We are watching history, have no doubt this season will be made into a film in time, much as the great "Rush" and "Senna" were. I'll be shouting for Max. Much as I love Hamilton and his amazing career, the talent of Verstappen is undeniable. Time for the new pretender or for the old guard to get the all time record for F1 championships? |  |

Latifi could have won this for Max now. 40+ hard tyres Vs soft. If it restarts he won't have any chance of stopping him going past. SB |  |

No chance. If it restarts he's a total sitting duck. Max will sail past him with no problems. SB |  |

So not letting lapped cars overtake or no chance of starting. Means Max will have to get past them. Who knows what will happen now. SB |  |

Don’t think it’ll restart - the season will finish behind the safety car. |  |

Descending into a bit of a farce now. Hamilton had it done, this could have changed it. Should have red flagged, let people change tyres and have 5 laps racing. Stupid. SB |  |

Max can't do that under the safety car. Think he will get a penalty for that. SB |  |

Absoltuely farcical. This sport has no integrity whatsoever. Last one I ever bother watching. It was no overtaking the safety, then they changed it last sceond because Red Bull complained? [Post edited 12 Dec 2021 14:35]

So they released the lapped cars like that. Totally joke. That's never happened before. Scandalous. SB |  |

They dsaid that they weremnt and hten changed at the last moment. Absoultely absurd that you can be way behind and then get a free hit with a big tyre advantage on final lap. |  | |  |

They usually let them all through. Not just the ones in the way of Verstappen. |  | |  |

Ah and, if they had, they would have ran out of time to finish the race without a safety car? |  |

Exactly. Which would have finished the race and no chance to overtake. They gerrymandered it for Verstappen. Looks bent. |  | |  |
