It‘s pure disgrace for the sport! Full stop.

Why didn‘t they put a VSC instead of the SC? 

Why did Massi change his mind just after the call from RedBull?

Lewis lost the race (almost) two times before, Perez was driving way to aggressive for a pay driver in a WC team, but as he was 1st at the moment he was allowed to do so.

Nevertheless this final lap wasn‘t good advertisment for a worldwide business like F1, that was rather like WWF wrestling - that wasn‘t fair. 

 

No. Perez drive a perfect support role there. He isn't out of control like Max. Perez always raced fair. I had no problem on how he defended against Hamilton earlier. Not unlike the last time they went wheel to wheel. That is what 'hard racing' is about. Hard but fair. Every driver on grid love battles like that.

Concur on this point.  The onus remains on Formula One and the FIA to streamline its regulations while ensuring that teams and drivers adhere to the regulations. Under the current milieu there is too much interpretation and lengthy decision periods.  

 

It's more like FIA tripping themselves over for trying to stay out of the way of the drivers. The rules are there for eons. They had been enforced strictly for the longest time, but for some reason this year they went off that. They set a precedence earlier in the year for the inside car to be at fault in Austria, which was the wrong decisions to start with, but for some reason at Brazil they didn't enforced that. Which they strangely do make up calls at Saudi. And then changed it again here at the start for between Max and Hamilton.

I firmly believe in law and order. If rules are there, enforce them. Doesn't matter if it will influence the race one way or another. By not enforcing the rules, they have already tilted the table towards the aggressor.
