This is the exact reason I think it was all wrong. Making it a spectacle is one thing, but one person decided not to follow the rules, unannounced, to make it a spectacle just bared Hamilton's arse to the wind, handed the Championship to Max and gave Hamilton no chance.

One thing is absolutely for certain ! Had the positions been reversed Max would have carried on like a 5yr old schoolboy, just like he did after the previous race. Hamilton on the other hand was gracious and left the arguing, protesting and complaining to the team, which is the way it should be handled.

Cheers,
