Max is a dirty driver in combat. Always has been previously with Lewis and Leclerc but never accepts responsibility which is why he keeps doing it…! 😡😡

Totally agree Andrew. Whoever you support adherence to the rules should be a given. As a huge fan of motorsport to see our flagship championship decided in this amateurish manner leaves a very bad taste.

Michael Masi determined the outcome of this championship. He used his discretion to interpret the rules in a way they have never been interpreted before to create a restart from which there was only going to be one winner. That is not his job.
