Sounds like Bottas is present at the ceremony while Toto and Lewis are snubbing it.
The FIA presser said Lewis would be referred to the stewards or International Court if he doesn't show.

The lapped cars should have been waved around a lap or so before, and it would have ended in the same result for the championship.
But then you have cars going full speed trying to catch up to the SC while workings are trying to clear a wreck. Not a good scenario if safety if first priority.

Mercedes could have pitted on lap 55 and gotten fresh tires and emerged behind Max who had stopped the previous lap to get his softs.
Problem is under caution Ham would have lost more than just the lead, more likely several spots since everyone bunch up behind SC.

Leclerc has tested positive for Covid upon return from Abu... Wonder if others will end up and if so, F1 got very lucky.

From Toto's statement:
When I read that I couldn't help but hear Toto's whinging voice saying:
"But Mikuuuuul this is not right"

In the race on Sunday many felt, us included, that the way things unfolded was not right.

If they just wave the other 2 cars not on the lead lap through, then they lose their whole argument so I really don’t get why they think they were robbed. The funny thing is looking back, even when the call was made, they’d have had time to get the other two out far enough to not be in the way. Would have destroyed Mercedes narrative completely and then they’d need to admit they just didn’t want to go green flag racing again.

Truth, this whole narrative is stupid. Id have preferred the cars released earlier and just double yellow them through that turn, and let them go... this would all be moot. It really is moot except for woke espn bloggers and Merc fans.

I will admit for me it is true that I "hate" Lewis and it is 100% because of color.
The color of his car isn't red.

Development or driver the reason for their success? Their COTA performance made everyone else look like they were sitting still.

Clearing the wreck in just a small portion of the track where they could slow to caution speed. Wouldn’t need to come close to full throttle to catch back up

Now we've got Toto and Hamilton saying that they are disillusioned with the sport and threatening to quit F1, not sure if they will return.
Gimme a break you freaking cry babies. You lose one year and threaten to quit, this is middle school bull shite.
Everyone knows you aren't going to quit, because as noble and pure as you pretend to be, you're in it for the money. So use those Merc dollars to wipe away those crocodile tears and get your arse back in the race car and do what you're paid to do.

Wolff will be back, as will Lewis. Come March 2022, they will be lining up with the other teams and it will be business as usual. They thrive in and crave for the competition and the attention, and of course the money that follows it is added bonus. All this is just off season shenanigans and Twitter fodder.

Bye!
I watched Toto's presser yesterday. I know he's rich and he's German, but dude dressed like he was going to Steve Jobs' funeral. He also came across as a bitch. Yeah, things may have been fricked up, but I saw you partying your arse off the day of, and now you're all boo-hooing?

Yep. All the teams do this same shite and everyone can see through it.
Hell, a couple days ago Marko said he was pulling both teams if FIA reversed course on the appeal. Marko threatens to pull out everytime he doesn't get his pudding cup on time.

In motorsports:
Ferrari--Porsche--BMW and anyone beating Chevrolet or Mercedes.
I don't really follow GT4, I think I watched 2 races on line the entire season. Had I watched I would have been rooting for the Porsches and anyone beating the AMGs.

This is why Ferrari still gets the juiciest of heritage bonuses as part of their LST. Because as all of you non-Tifosi need to remember only one team is bigger than F1 itself and they hail from Maranello.

I think they realized Netflix made them less useful. That is why Ferrari has done a lot of shutting the frick up the last few years.
I haven't heard them threaten to quit in a while.
