Hamilton had that race in his pocket. It's not Verstappen's fault that the most horrendous, nothing to do with personalities restart eas done. Placing Verstappen next to Hamilton and letting the 4 cars go by without Verstappen having to overtake them, and pitting Verstappen next to Hamilton was one of the wosrtcalls in thehistory of the sport. I do not have favorites in F1. I watch the race to see who will win. You brought up old races, yet it's Verstappen who is 3 points for his bullying agressive driving technique.
I am an Indy fan. Its setup better, none of this Eorotrash political bullshit. Faster courses, races where cars don't pile up doing 35 mph incertain corners. I have never been the kind of petson who is i to celebrity worship. Thatcomes after thier racing has come to an end, then the greatones can be sorted out. Hamilton was robbed of his title. He has enough money to start his own Indy Racing Team, and what F1 driver wouldn't want to race the Indy 500? The cap on spending on Indy Racing is mmuch lower. With MacLaren now ofgicially in, cand no political governing party, no power steering, who k ows? If the tables were turned, I'd say the race was stolen from Verstappen. Face it, Verstappen's whole racing history will be tarnished by a non deserved technical win. Millions feel the same way.
For my part, I'm done with F1. Races are too short, no refueling, power steering and too many ridiculous rules. Also, some companies put far too much money into their team, ( i.e. Mercedes Benz).It's not a level racing field and is politically motivated. F1 has become Racingfotainment. IMHO
