This was the most 2021 way to end the season. But the unlaping drama was created by Masi not letting the cars unlap themselves at first for some reason and then going back on that decision. If the cars unlaped themselves a lap earlier the result would have been the same
Exactly. People pretending Hamilton was being screwed over by Masi’s incompetence conveniently seem to ignore this fact. Hamilton was the better driver, but Red Bull’s team performance with checo and their tactics is what decided the race in Verstappen’s favour.
@@SG-qg2pg Hamilton was being helped by Masi at first by not allowing the backmarkers to unlap. Hamilton might have been the better driver on the day, but Red Bulls readiness to exploit every VCS and safety car, while Mercedes was being conservative is what won Max the title. And Lewis knew he lost the moment the safety car came out, which you can hear in his radio, he needed a miracle like Masi fucking up the unlaping in order to keep the lead
But what's the point of having rules if you don't follow them? It's as Jolyon Palmer said, "they [race control] panicked", instead of following the rules. You also have to remember that if this hadn't been the last race of the season with a championship on the line, we would have finished under the safety car. Engineering a situation like this just for drama really isn't good and regardless of what happens next, F1 has lost a lot of sporting integrity.
@@Pulsarnix If the rules were properly followed Max wins the race. The crash was on lap 53, by lap 57 Latifis car should have been off the track and Masi should have had the laped cars unlap themselves. If Masi left it how it was and left the race with unlaped cars then you could say it was engineered for Lewis since it would help him
@UC_hIN-8Qx37WICIv4blY10A I completely understand that point of view, but two wrongs don't make a right IMO. Once Masi realised he screwed up initially, he can't really go changing the rules in the middle of the race to compensate for that. After he's messed up first, if he follows the rules, the race should have finished under the safety car. The bigger point for me though is what happens to the sport going forward.
Actually Perez‘ car had a sudden loss of oil pressure so RB decided to retire the car to no extend the safety car and rob Max of all chances after the safety car
@@angler_dirk didn’t put enough fuel in for him to finish the race, so he could keep Lewis behind. Checo knew nothing about any leak, said the car was perfect.
I honestly think the FIA would do much better at making consistent rulings if two certain whingy teams got a year-long ban from speaking to them. Excellent race. Happy for Max. Devastated for Lewis. Absolutely disgusted at the childishness of Mercedes and Red Bull over the last few months.
My comment from Facebook: The problem is that you've essentially had the FIA investigate itself and found that it's done nothing wrong. I suspect this will go to CAS and that we've not heard the end of this yet. Regardless of what happens with that though, now is the perfect time to overhaul the sport and make sure that rules are enforced correctly going foward, staring with the removal of Michael Masi as race director. Edit: I'm also glad Kimi got driver of the day.
@@sixbren2158 yes, they're crying too They're boiling with jealousy, considering they're from the same generation as Max but Max has shown he's head and shoulders above them in terms of talents and is a world champion already
I really wonder why Checo had to retire ... He seemed to not feel anything wrong with the car on the radio... That was an incredible drive, holding back Lewis for so long on dead tyres ... Really happy for Sainz , have been rooting for him over Leclerc all season long, and he also beat Norris for best of the rest And of course , with Max and Lewis... what a fucking season , not even Hollywood script-writters could have made up what we saw this year with those two
The thing I find most annoying about the safety car controversy at the end is how easily it could have been avoided. The wreck was cleaned up 1 lap before. So all they had to do was let the lapped cars go and then let them race on the last lap. Or they could have just let the cars go after every car had passed the crash on lap 57 if they wanted to be extra safe.
@@MicahOP I don't think so. The crash was in a very easy spot to clean up and only took a couple of laps. The Red Flags of previous races were largely due to the fact that there was no good place to get the cars off and the entire track was covered with debris. A red flag would have been too much.
What they should of done was not interfere with the race and how it was going down. Whether anyone likes it or not Lewis was going to win and there’s no ifs and buts about it. By doing what they did they directly changed the ending. It’d be different if max was only a couple seconds behind but he wasn’t. Max was literally 11-12 seconds behind with 2 laps to go. They brought him all the way up to Lewis’ tail… and max got a pit stop in with 0 loss on time basically so fresh soft tires. It was bullshittery to the maximum.
@@morpheushill1908 um, so don't have a safety car and let a completely stranded car on the track? What do you mean by not interfere? You can't just say don't interfere, that's too vague. Actually provide a solution. If nothing happened Max probably would have closed that gap to 7 or 8 seconds. So Lewis would have won, but not by your 11-12 second Gap that you are claiming.
Amazing and top content throughout the year, even tho I disagreed with some of your opinions towards the latter stages of the season, I still found a lot of enjoyment in these comedy reviews and can't wait for whatever off-season content you've prepared for us.
as a max fan: lewis deserved to win this weekend both deserved the championschip win Am still glad the dutch guy won edit: yes for 80% of the race/season I think most dutch people who watched f1 thought the fia was against max or pro hamilton
If the FIA hadn't meddled then the championship would've been close anyway but they had to manufacture drama when there was already enough of it , as a result it left no one happy .
A different perspective: The result WILL NOT be changed even if Masi followed the most optimal solution. Masi's first mistake is unlapping the cars at Lap 57 - should have done it at Lap 56 , which is the optimal solution. Note that the last marshal left the field when safety car is at at Turn 15 of Lap 56 - unlapping order should be issued right at that time (which means Masi had to make up the decision right before that). Then everything will be legetimate. He made the second mistake (unlapping only part of the cars without letting them get back to queue) to make it up for the first mistake, which became so controversial because people only focus on the second mistake alone.
Once again a great video. How am I gonna survive the three months without your great Reviews? I hope you will bring us some more funny videos in that time!
He's actually done a great service to F1 on the whole, given that this is an entertainment business. That's why the American model kicks the crap out of Bernie's model, Hollywood is much more profitable than the old money boys club on weekends. F1 just became an industry rather than a hobby.
Everyone who was crying about this and STILL to this day are beating the dead horse gave conveniently forgotten a major issue...That RB had absolutely no business even challenging that Mercedes at all the entire year. The Merc was clearly the better car, a large gap between it and the RB in terms of performance. Meaning Max managed to drag that inferior car ahead of the Merc consistently all season by over performing his car, meanwhile Lewis was under performing in his own or rather mostly just driving it about as well as any good (but not great) driver would. It's easy to point at the last few laps as the reason why Lewis lost, but he shouldnt have even been in that position. If he was ACTUALLY as good as the idiots on social media think and say he is, hed have won every race he finished and led every lap. No, Lewis lost because Max is a superior driver. He just is. He has proven that by overperforming in every car hes sat in, Lewis won because he IS good AND his cars were the best on the grid. To ignore how utterly average Lewis was driving all year is something ive come to expect from water heads without a fold on their brain. It's insane really. Lewis is a great driver, no one can say he isnt and not look like an absolute fool, but he isnt and never has been GOAT material. He just hasn't. I've never seen him consistently over perform his vehicles. Max did it nearly every race. He kept the championship close all year and come the final race RB made the correct strategy calls and Lewis and Merc fucked up royally. But even with fresher tyres, Max shouldnt have been able to overtake Lewis on that final lap, particularly not as fast as he did, Lewis was in the superior car and the data suggests that the RB being driven at its best shouldnt have caught up to the Merc being driven at its best, so the Merc WASNT driven at its best, Lewis isnt as good as Max at driving and that made the gap between the difference in the cars disappear and Max managed to win it. Theres nothing wrong with Lewis NOT being THE best. Hes clearly still a great driver. Theres also nothing wrong with Max simply being the better driver. So many people who are strictly fans of one driver or team, as opposed to being fans of F1 itself, seem to think that if their driver isnt THE best that something is wrong with the world and they will attempt to create loads of hilariously easy to disprove "facts" stating why such and such is [insert whatever it is] and blah blah blah. The eye test and data shows it clearly. Max is simply a better driver. A quick look at the past 2 seasons will tell you everything. The currrent RB is the best car on the grid, thats obvious. Yet ITS not as dominant comparatively speaking as that Merc was. Sure Max makes it look even crazier than the Merc, but that Merc was STILL 2 seconds faster than this current RB. You give the best driver on the grid the best car and the last 2 years is the result. Max winning every race he finishes without incidents beyond his control and none of them are even closely contested. Ill never understand how weird some of you "fans" are, to deny simple reality right in front of your eyes. Shit is super weird.
Masi 4 president ! Great guy, he just respected the intention ALL the teams spoke out at the beginning of the season: "Let us race !" Toto ? Yes ? It's called a motor-race, OK? LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL
I've been putting watching this off so as to still have a vid to look forward to, but, since you did a complete season review I still have 1 more now!! 😁😁😁
Amazing comedy review, and after taking the time to watch the rest of your 2021 playlist, im definitely looking forward to next year. You've got yourself another subscriber. lol
I would love to see Kimi win the Indy 500 while not giving a F!#k and then Le Mans thereby beating Alonso to the traditional triple crown - come on Kimi..take a year off then do it!!
I'm subscribed. Love the content, you filled a gap in my F1 binge fest each race week I didn't even knew I needed. Awesome work and wish you improved health....#bless (love that, gets me every time you say it🤣🤣🤣🤣)
Logically, It should have been red flagged on Lap 54 or 55. However, as the whole world watched, Masi GIFTED the race to MV, because he MUST have known that Max, on new softs, would easily pass Lewis on the final lap. Absolutely a clear cut case of unnecessary MANIPULATION of a result by Masi, who then has the audacity to goad Mercedes with "its a motor race". A 4 lap standing start sprint race, with both Lewis & Max on new tyres, would have been the result of the said red flag and THIS was what real F1 Fans wanted, instead we got either incompetence or something much worse. A red flag was the ONLY solution if the INTEGRITY of F1 was to be maintained... Unfortunately, Max Will Have to Live with the Fact that His WDC isTainted and F1's Legacy is Now Forever Tarnished.
I concur, the result didn't sit right with me, it felt like the result was produced off the track. I just try to imagine the opposite...if Max was 16 seconds up on old hard tires, and everything went Hamilton's way to put him clear of traffic right behind Max with DRS and fresh soft tires on the final lap...Hmmm.
I so needed this after the debacle of a WWE race. Thanks so much for getting it out quickly; truly it helped me to stop stewing over it. Don't know if I'll continue to spend time on this manufactured nonsense sport now that the veil is off so blatantly, but if I do then I leave it with a lighter heart because of you.
bravo! subscribed as an ingrate i have to add you cut out Toto's full rage on the saudi clip and the huge gap Lewis left for Max, two cars could have gone thru
So at 75% into this "comedy" review i noticed this was presented by a Lewis fan, wich slowly lets the comedy die and makes it a spitefull review sold as a comedy one. Pity really cos i really liked your video's. So, as this should be a comedy review let me end on a joke. How does the Silverarrow kill the Redbull? With a Silverstone.
Considering the unnamed segment is about other people's twitter's, it should be called 'Show us your twits', or some other suitably humourous adaptation
On the rules debate, I follow MotoGP more closely and they do it a bit different. The rule book (sporting code) is much smaller, and just has "Race Director has any and all options open" at the top (that's the gist of it anyway). That way sensible decisions (providing race director is sensible) can be made quickly, usually based on precedent. If an usual situation comes up, the common sense bit helps. There is the caveat that motorcyclists don't hit each other like cars.... Also the race director has an understudy (or two) for illness and succession training so they are up to speed whenever they are needed. I'd hate to think how big the F1 rule books are (technical and sporting code)...🤷🏻♂️🤯🙄
Masis' reaction, changing the verdict after Horner's comment and than shooshing Toto, it,s called racing , was a giveaway ! He manipulated the rules in such a way that a hopeless situation became a secure win and therefore a gifted championship. You cannot stack random events in a natural occurance to have the outcome that it did. Not if you have seen the race. All was done in a designed order to achieve this. First changing the cars should not lap then waiting enough time to change it they should lap. But only the three first so Max was directly behind Lewis , followed by quickly removing the safety car so max could overtake !? The same thing happened in Saudi Arabia where the telemtry show clearly Brake checking. (or do you let someone pass on the highway, by putting your foot on the brake and pushing it down 70 % ??) But this again meant disqualifaiction and a 8th title for Hamilton. Max had to win and Hamilton had to loose no matter what. This gut feeling of injustice we are all left with is enforced by the only argument Masi had to explain the order of events : That's racing, deal with it- when it actually was all but racing that had led to this outcome.
There should be a new rule going forward to RED FLAG the race automatically when there are 10 laps left on any race if a crash happens and a safety car needs to come out. So instead of yellow flags and everyone complaining that the safety car is not going fast enough and us fans loosing laps under the safety car, bring out the RED FLAGS and bring all cars in to pits so everyone gets to put on fresh tires and then a standing start sprint to the end on the last remaining laps. Like this we wont the F*#%king! disaster of what happend yesterday!
I think mercedes should act accordingly to status and stop appeal process. First overtake by Max, was fair and square. PS. We been blessed with great season this time. I hope next one will deliver at least same level of competition. In ideal world it can be better, with 3rd team on similar level. New technical specs for cars,
Masi nudged him over the line. the final laps: lets nullify Mercedes' tire strategy by keeping him out on old hard tires (if he pits...he loses track position: he was in first with few laps to go), then let's remove only the cars in the way of Max, let's extend this flag to give Max a free box with fresh soft tires and to also remove Hamilton's 16 second lead, and let's start Max right behind Lewis with DRS on the final lap. Sure the overtake was fair, but the opportunity only existed under Masi's direction: All "technically" legal but only advantaged one of the two drivers.
