Webber has said Max beat HAM at his own game, he basically did a 'Rosberg' on him but unlike Nico he's not butting out of the game after a few days

That's why he choked on the race start and was losing badly the entire race until the safety car? Strange proof of Max's superior mental game. He was down and out and needed outside influence to put him in a advantageous position.


Lol... interesting tactic

Mercedes missed an opportunity to ensure Lewis Hamilton held on to win the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and a record-breaking eighth title, according to former F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone.

Hamilton was denied the drivers’ championship on the last lap of the season at the Yas Marina Circuit when Max Verstappen passed him on fresh tyres during the dramatic closing stages of the race.

The Red Bull driver had benefitted from a late safety car following Nicolas Latifi’s crash, as well as some controversial decisions from race director Michael Masi.

It was pointed out to Ecclestone that Mercedes had potentially missed a trick by not pulling Hamilton’s teammate Valtteri Bottas into the pits during the safety car period, thus extending the window in which cars were not allowed to overtake.

Red Bull retired Verstappen’s teammate Sergio Perez to avoid such a scenario, with the Dutchman handed a final-lap shootout in which he passed Hamilton to win his maiden world title.

“Pretty clever,” Ecclestone told Blick of the loophole that could have won Hamilton the race. “I thought of that too, and it would have been ideal to make sure the safety car stayed out and the race wouldn’t have been restarted.

“Many people would have been upset, but there wouldn’t have been any changes to the final result.”

Hamilton was effectively a sitting duck after five cars were told to unlap themselves by Masi, putting Verstappen behind the seven-time champion on soft tyres ahead of the final lap.

Mercedes protested the race result before withdrawing their appeal three days later.

Let us not forget that Max had an 8 race old PU so naturally Ham revving the alls of his 2 race old one could get in front at the start.
As for the ending I will use the words of the late great and best F1 commentator of all time Murray Walker OBE. 'If something's going to happen in the race then it usually does'

So VET is mouthing off again that F1 won't 'exist' if it continues on it's path. Why doesn't the greenie GTFO of F1 and join the e racing instead of making a fool of himself.
We already have hybrid V6 forced on to us and like a typical snowflake is talking out of his exhaust as usual.

That's what dip $hits do! It's 20 cars, how is what engine they use going to change the world? It's entertainment, let us have some fun!!!

VET should just quit completely if he feels that way. VET probably consumes more energy in one year with the traveling circus than I will in my entire life.

I'm baffled why they changed it in the first place on a whim of someone.

According the new 2022 FIA fuel regulations . The Ferrari HP figures showed outstanding test results with the new 2022 E-10 fuel .
The new Ferrari E-10 fuel is developed with the latest Shell fuel lab technology .

In other words : Ferrari has closed the HP gap with HONDA and Mercedes.
