That race was perhaps the most (red)Bull**** thing I’ve ever seen in ‘sports.’ Embarrassing.

It was like Netflix was the Race Director.

F1 rules are ridiculous. You have teams actually negotiating for race positions during the race. Stewards making arbitrary decisions, not explaining rulings in time for driver reactions, and here, so explicitly, safety cars and virtual safety cars favor the driver in back, because they have the advantage in deciding what to do, after seeing what the leader does. Insane.

One driver drove a perfect race today. Consistently drove away, easily, from the other guy, multiple times during the race. Had a ten second lead with five laps to go and was easily maintaining it. Then something outside of his control gives a clear tire and track position advantage to the driver behind him. Then, some bizarre and arbitrary rule at the very last moment puts them back to back, with the driver behimd having brand new, faster tires. Horses***.

It was absolutely amazing that these two drivers would enter the final race tied at 369.5 points. That, alone, is incredible. But to basically award the race to one guy makes F1 a joke.

I’ve seen every race since mid-95 and I’ve never seen anything like this.

What steams me even more is the way one driver entered this race as a douche and the other finished it with absolute grace.
