Well that was entertaining!
Unexpected but maybe F1 is learning from Nascar.
Nascar always has Green/White/Checkered flag finishes following a pace car incident, regardless of the number of laps completed - it's a sure way to guarantee a happy crowd and a proper race finish.
Too bad MB got caught with their pants down playing it safe, and well done Max & RB for gambling on tyre strategy that paid off.
So just for a change, the best driver, not just the guy with the fastest car, won the championship.
Best quote of the day from Race Director Michael Masi -
"it's a motor RACE, Toto".
