More controversial but more defensible per regulations.

Agreed. I fully believe the 5 cars would have pulled over immediately and let max chase down Lewis. I think max catches Lewis at the chicane after the first long straight.
Or, my preference, is a red flag with fresh tires for both and a 5 lap shootout. Oh how glorious that would have been.
I just watched the replay on tsn. I feel disappointed and a feeling of emptiness more than joy. All I can think about is what could have been if Michael Masi didn’t literally make the most egregious decision in F1 history, and it’s a sport with a proud history of scandals.
I hate Masi so much. He poisoned this beautiful season.
