On Lewis and the yellow flag incident (which I had missed entirely), Auto Sport reports: So, in this case it wouldn't appear that Lewis did anything wrong at all (and, possibly, that Red Bull are just making mischief) Yes when the yellow flag incident was first raised I thought Lewis would get a penalty but for the reasons given this would not have been a just outcome. I agree with Charlie on his other points. Lewis and Max are highly skilled drivers but they are both robust. In the last race when the drivers were lining up after a warm up lap Lewis did not appear to keep within 10 car lengths of Max yet no action was taken.

Not a formation lap apparently - it was regarded as a restart so ten car lengths didn't apply.

The commentators said the ten second rule applied… Red Bull were also under the illusion the ten second rule applied. Its a very debatable one but the point is Lewis was deliberately holding back … Lewis is turning into a right moaner… He gives his pit crew hell and whoever is on the radio to him when things aren’t going his way. Then he’s all sweetnesses and light when he wins…. He’s not a sporting person anymore he’s a spoilt child.
David Wilson… Re the yellow flag thing. What is just for one driver must be just for them all… Or it’s not fair nor reasonable… If Lewis gets away with it where Max didn’t the FIA may have determined the outcome of the drivers championship…. Who wants to win that way ?
Let’s be fair here the FIA are not fit for purpose. They can’t decide black from white and are embarrassing…. It’s a shame really.

That’s a well timed strike of luck…my Now/SKY F1 subscription runs out on 11th Dec, so can now watch the race live and not on catch up. Thanks for the heads up David 👏🏻

So, as things stand, all Max has to do is take out Hamilton and he wins the championship, even if he himself goes out in the process. Wonder what he will do......?

The eyes of the FIA will be intensely upon him. Obviously they don’t watch Lewis or if they do they turn a blind eye. So I doubt Max would attempt anything daft. There is of course that vital point for fastest lap. I would imagine both drivers will try and bag that early just in case neither finish the race. 👍👍

Hardly fair on the lower teams if by some chance one of their drivers manages to set that fast lap… I know the each and every point a team wins means a certain amount of money, Hkw much that is I don’t know 👍

Although you don't get a point if you are outside the top 10, I beleve that you can deprive sombody in the top ten of the fastest lap point, so it is still an advantage to go for it to aid a team-mate in the top 10, or to deprive a rival who is in the top ten.
