Mercedes and Lewis gambled on the safety car staying out to nullify any further racing, a gamble that didn't go their way. Having met both Lewis and Max I have no particular issue against either but I was pleased to see the race not end under safety car......

From what at least 90% of the pundits and other commentators said
and I agree also.
Lewis and Mercedes where shafted.
It was a carefully managed scenario by the FAI, Liberty media the owners
that there wouldn't be a race finish under a safety car.
The whole fiasco just fell into place with Latifi's convenient crash.
AKA Piquet's 2008 Singapore GP crash that allowed Alonso to win the race.
Put it this way,if I was shafted like Lewis and Mercedes,I wouldn't go to the presentation either.
Cheers
BTW if Lewis had pitted he would have come well behind Max,and judging by the actions
of Masi in the eventual finish,god knows what Masi would have done.
One thing is for sure,they would have not allowed Lewis to finish before Max.
