Why are Mercedes so pissed?

They said the lapped cars weren't allowed to overtake and then they changed their mind for no apparent reason.

they wanted SC to the end and for the lapped cars to stay for some fucking reason

Is there precedent?

Because you either let all the cars unlap themselves or you don’t

They basically let the cars in between Lewis and Max uplap and then went racing

It’s a farce

So they could have some drama and headlines instead of following the rules?

In my view - yes

But sadly - or not - that’s what this season became

But they did not follow the rules or precedent. That is clear.

Exactly, if they let the cars properly unlap themselves there would have been no laps left to race.

Masi might say he did it out of safety, that there'd be crashes if he let the blue flag cars and the champ contenders fight at the one time.

But yeah, this is super dodgy on the FIA's behalf. Making the rules up as they go along.

they fucked up by the first call, than they had to re do that and half arsed it again.

Like I said for years Masi cannot handle the presure required for this job. His decisions come from the right place (wants to be fair), but they need to come from the rule book and rule book alone

Masi was clearly shocked and not composed - which I understand Tbf

He literally couldn’t communicate on the radio and then made that decision

Crazy
