I don't know if Max catches Lewis if the lapped cars are in the way.

Lewis can start really early in that case since no passing before safety car line, while Max has to wait for the lapped cars to move aside after the safety car line.

That probably results in a big enough gap that Max can't overcome. He might get close enough for the dive bomb to end all dive bombs but I doubt it.

If they just wanted a final lap under green. Have the lap cars come down the pits but they aren't required to stop unless the red light at end of pits is on. It would have the same result as what happened but maybe less controversy?

From the 1994 championship everyone remembers Schumacher taking out Hill which sealed the title for Schumacher.

But the only way Hill was able to get in contention was Schumacher had been DSQ'd twice, and had a two race ban. Hill won those 4 races. Nobody really talks about that.

The FIA f-d up but Max deserved the title just as much as Lewis did. It sucks it happened this way but it's a legit title in my book.
