*SPOILER ALERT*

Ideal end to the season that whoever wins the last race or finishes ahead of the other guy will win it. Unless there's punishment coming to Verstappen for the slowing down incident which is still being looked at.

I reckon he knew what he was doing and was using the decision for him to hand the place back as an excuse. But you're right, doubt anything will happen with one race left and the season on the line.

Of course, if Verstappen takes out Hamilton, Verstappen still wins. Wonder what's gonna happen

The boy is half a battery short of a complete DRS. He may well do this.

It's possible he'd do that, but his title would be forever tainted and I'd imagine a lot of sponsors would distance themselves from him

Michael Schumacher took out Hill to win the title, Arnoux got involved with something similar, does Verstappen have the finesse to do it without being blatantly bloody obvious about it? I fear the officials will be deciding who will be champion thus ruining the entire season.

Gutted for him. No clue why they let four cars unlap and then restart immediately rather than the normal restart process.

They’ve been on his back all season.
No way did Max V deserve that today!

Sky read the rule out afterwards and that it's that all lapped cars need to overtake rather than just a few. So it's a bit weird they didn't apply their own rule correctly and leave themselves open to a challenge.

Not that I'm expecting or wanting it to be overturned for the record. Think they need to leave it and make sure something like this doesn't happen again.

Formula 1 is an absolute joke.

Hamilton was 10 seconds ahead and then through no fault of his own, is forced to surrender his lead for a 1 lap shoot out with a driver who was 2nd best for the whole race. I don't care about rule changes - this makes the whole thing a mockery and is like a football match where a team is winning 3-0 and then someone collapses. But after medical attention, the game is re-started at 0-0 in the form of a penalty shoot out which the team losing 0-3 then wins to take the match. Ridiculous? No more so than the nonsense in Abu Dhabi. At least willy Turpin wore a mask when he robbed people. Hamilton was the model of graciousness in defeat. Legend
