I defacto admission by the FIA that F1 rules were not followed at the last race. Verstappen’ s ‘victory’ forever tainted by this.

Good that Herbie's back. A LOT of institutional wisdom as Charlie's right hand man.

Not so good for consistency in the future, with the two alternating in "the chair."

sure seems that way. The taint will largely be decided on what Max does from here. If he wins more championships, it won’t matter. But if not, the asterisk will be large.

(PS I am so glad I got to use the word taint while not describing happenings in the back of Matt’s trailer)

Tainted? Only Hamilton fans will think of it as tainted...especially 5 years from now...or even three months from now.

flatsics,

What bothers you the most? That I am right or that Hamilton lost? Or that Hamilton is seen as such a dickwad that most either don't or soon won't see it as tainted?

You can crawl up into your little hole now.....
