As not an avid f1 follower I was confused in the previous race when max was unhappy about a five second penalty but was happy not to mention momments after Hamilton pitted under a virtual safety car the race was red flagged, max had got a free overtake, track position and a free tyre change worth twenty seconds plus.
In yesterday's race if the intension was to twist rules so the race didn't end behind a safety car then just red flag the race with four laps left and they can all put new slicks on and have a fair shoot out . This maybe isn't how the rules work but nor was what happened and Hamilton wasn't even given a sporting chance .
If Hamilton had changed tyres and the rules weren't twisted and the race ended behind a safety car then Mercedes would have looked insane .
Its hard to form any conclusion other than decisions off track meant max won the championship regardless of how skilled max was all year .

To be world champion all Hamilton needs to know is what the rules are, the race will re start or it won't.
If it will he pits if it won't then he won't pit .
He wasn't given that info so had to assume rules would be followed . They were not so every scenario was for Hamilton to lose .
Does anyone believe he wasn't the fastest driver in the fastest car in that race

I think it looks so bad, Hamilton was clearly the superior driver and car today .
Hamilton was presented a no win situation he couldn't pit for tyres as verstappen would stay out and gain track position and if the rules are followed the race would end behind a safety car and not pitting meant a 1 lap shootout with a large red bull tyre advantage .
Mercedes can't decide wether to pit or not by guessing if rules will be followed .
