Has it been answered, what was wrong with the car that forced Checo to retire during the safety car?

That was so bizarre to me…

Back up plane in case Max lost. Checo and one of the Alpha Tauri cars were going to recreate the lap one Max/Lewis incident to submit as part of their complaint.

My guess would be a safety issue.

Wow, just wow at the end of that race. Making a new rule for the last lap. Nice.

They say because his engine was going to die and RB was concerned the safety car would stay out another lap if he died on track.

Engine issue. Team retired him to prevent a possible elongated saftey car, or another safety car.

Toto rant should have been epic.. Hopefully someone caught it on microphone

Forever engraved into that final lap.

Maybe an unpopular take but I feel like Max and Red Bull deserved this title for what they did all year. Seemed like Merc struggled a bit early on and then found insane pace in Brazil to make this an actual title race. Max also got unlucky in Baku and Silverstone so it sorta evens out. I completely understand the fury of Hamilton fans. I get it. But I really do think max and Red Bull were the best all year. So at least that part feels correct.

I’m impressed by how Lewis has handled this. He’s not nearly the a-hole he’s made out to be and a fierce and worthy competitor that’s an asset to the sport.

In front of the cameras sure. His constant whining over the radio is silly and off-putting

Seems to me like they all whine on radio including Max. So he’s not that different.
