Masi didn't give Lewis a chance to defend himself. By his odd, inconsistent decision, he all but guaranteed a Max win, or a crash(which would be a Max win). The idea that Lewis and Merc had any options at all strategically is nonsense. Masi decided the outcome, not Max or Lewis. And that's what fans are frustrated by. But keep grinding that axe, you'll come up with a logical position one day.

But the track was clear and ready to race. Why don't we just call every race after the 1st stint? Because it would be a shame if something unpredictable happens and the fastest car doesn't win every single race...
So much pearl clutching about the last 5km of a ~7000km season.
0 cars can unlap themselves. or 4 cars. or all the lapped cars can. In a vacuum, is this even in the top 5 most controversial decisions this year? Was it even the most controversial decision/non-decision in the race? There's a very strong chance that all 3 options end with the same result.
