Another meeting at 1740 with more lawyers present
It could already have gone Max’s way. Karen is grinning, I think they’ve got him off the overtake.
“The teams went into a meeting with the race director.
I can tell you that Mercedes took a barrister with them.
The head honchos from both race teams appeared before the stewards.
They then came out, Christian Horner looked at me, winked, broke into a little smile and carried on walking.”BBC
Is it PotG?

They should have a 3 lap play-off on the Wii.

I've just seen images of Red Bull representatives heading back for round two with the stewards, so I don't think we can expect any resolution to this any time soon.
From the BBC this is going to go on and on

They seemed happy to run the Belgian GP behind the SC.

Okay guys I feel the hurt on here. So I will leave this alone for a day or two hoping some level heads will view Max and Red Bull had every right to win that world championship.
You must be watching Hamilton Tv not to have seen Horner and Max not conceded their forturne, but let's face it, winners make their fortune and they made it throughout the season.
Next season will be interesting with George demanding and lewis demanding, what could go wrong?
It's clear that perez will be a team player..........

The Merc was quicker at the end of the season but there were big chunks where RB had the quicker car. To say otherwise would be laughable. Just like the title lead the car development has moved between the two teams throughout the season.
The FIA have had a shocking season and this is entirely of their own making again. Their desperation for entertainment has influenced their decisions all season and that is wrong, whether you are a Max or Lewis fan. Today is prime example, they were so desperate not to finish under the safety car and therefore the end result would have been less spectacular I feel they've rushed it through, made a decision on the hop and whether they reverse the decision or not they need to have a very hard look at their management structure as the people in charge don't seem to be up to the job
Of course they had every right to win it. The question people are now asking is does the FIA have ‘every right’ to make the rules up as they go along?

Biggest shock of the day.
From start to finish this race had it all.
But just when the Champagne was going flat, blow me down with a soft tyre, the biggest shock of the day came up on screen.
Christian Horner is married to Ginger Spice.
Blimey......

I have not seen anyone blame Red Bull of MV for taking advantage of the situation the issue is that opportunity should never have been given.
One thing is for sure both drivers deserved better from the race directors today and in trying to create a spectacle they have created a farce

Did the fact that her name is Geri Horner not act as any sort of clue for you?
Slightly reassuring to see that refereeing in F1 is as shite at it is in football.

Could have been Little Jack
Adrian Newey said the Red Bull was the better car over the season.
No one's suggesting Max didn't deserve it, They're complaining that the referee gave him an undeserved penalty in the last minute, placed the ball for him and told him which way the keeper normally dives. Massi might as well have handed Max the trophy from the safety car.

When are you going to understand that most people don't care what you think, say or do, because you are always wrong.

What a cock up. Here's what now needs to happen.
Max must retain the title (though I don't like it). They can't go back now.
Massi must resign immediately
For next season, in race lobbying by the teams must stop. Communication should be one way. From FIA to team only.
All teams and drivers need to get together in a month and work out a set of rules. These rules must be rigorously adhered to even if it makes the race worse

In the Algarve
I heard Horner say that they needed a miracle with 10 laps to go, and then admitting that they more or less got one, firstly with the crash and then with the Race Director's decision. I didn't hear Max say anything about being lucky, other than things went for Lewis earlier in the season and they went for him today. All fair enough comments in my view. It doesn't alter the fact that Masi made an incorrect ruling on the fly, after lobbying from Horner, to give Max an open goal for the title.
