I think you can look back at several races where you could say that Hamilton or Max were robbed... all a matter of your point of view....

Merc screwed up. If they had brought Hamilton in under the VSC he would be celebrating his 8th right now. They argued track position which is a load of shit. Lewis knew it and even said it. WORST case, Max stays out, Lewis comes out a few seconds back at most with a MUCH faster car and fresh tires vs Verstappen's 20 lap old set.

Argue officials all day long, Merc not bringing him in is what cost Hamilton that race and championship.

Merc left him out for track position on old tires. Dumb.

First of all - the fact they didn't nick Louise for cutting across half the track at the beginning of the race was ridiculous. REALLY?!

Then - letting the 5 cars (nobody else, just those 5 of the 8) between Louise and Verstappen unlap themselves was equally ridiculous. And the manner they brought the safety car in was sketchy too.


Finish under the yellow or red flag the bitch. Either would have been OK. This was a shit show.

And while I'm at it, giving the team principles access to the race director during the race is stupid.

After all is said and done, I was pulling for Max. I can't STAND that ****in' Hamilton.

Merc gambled incorrectly by leaving him out on the track in hopes that his tires would last until the end of the race. I used to like Hamilton until he became a SJW. On top of that, he apparently knelt during the National Anthem at COTA this year. I'm ecstatic that Max won.

Yeah, mini Stuka Hitler vs SJW is a tough choice. I can't imagine the sport that just plays for the love of the game. Maybe Rugby 7's. But I'm sure media will **** that up as well.
