Let's be honest here, as a Brit, of course I would like to see Hamilton win, but max was deserving of title. My only issue is that Lewis didn't deserve to lose in the way he did. Both sides have lost and gained from questionable calls this year, to say anything but that is just a bias based on love or hatred for one of the drivers. I think Merc were right to appeal decision, not because Max should be stripped of title as I truly believe Merc aren't blaming him for anything, but to bring to the forefront that these rules have to be black and white and not "flexible" otherwise, as we saw yesterday, the race director can influence the result beyond his remit..... It's like a footballer doing a 1-2 with a ref and scoring. And if we were to switch the drivers positions and the same thing happened, do people really think RB would not have challenged and been equally feeling cheated, cause they would and they would have every right too cause they would have been cheated. Max a worthy and deserving champ, and finally he acknowledged Lewis is an incredible diver. Maybe seeing how close it was and how hard he had to fight to win shows how much his competitor has actually done. Congrats Max

Max and Lewis both deserved to take the title, but neither deserved to lose in the way Abu Dhabi race ended

I care not who won, I was hoping just for a decent race worthy of the competitors as in drivers and engineers who have worked so hard to give us some great racing this year. Sadly, it was ruined by poor management, who, not for the first time this season, made a late and questionable call. Both drivers have gained and lost from these during the season, but usually through the course of racing action between Lewis and Max. This wasn't, this was done during the overseeing of the safety of the drivers and marshalls, or safety car if you will. Since Senna's death this has been the over riding focus above all else and to flex the rules under the banner of "it's a motor race" is poor when you're consider what's at stake...... Peoples lives! But the worst and most woeful thing to see is two men in high positions barraging the race director with questions and pushing for what they want, Horner and RB are as bad as Merc, there is no doubt in that.... But aside from that, it should not be allowed. Would this have happened in Charly Whiting's day??? No way! The team's would have dreamed of it because he didn't tolerate it, even though many drivers tried it with indirect calls
