One the one hand you have a drivers champion that is only champion because the race director gifted it to him and, even if by some miracle Mercedes do get the race result overturned, Lewis would not have won his 8th world title the right way so it would not feel right for him either.
This drivers title is tainted both ways now which is a real shame for both Lewis and Max because they were both simply amazing this year.
Another thing this brought to my mind is that I think there must be some sort of limit to the number of yellow flag incidents drivers cause in a certain time period before they lose their license. That was complete driver error from Latifi yesterday. Him, Mazepin and Tsunoda have caused so many yellow cars this year and last. F1 is not a finishing school. I think some rule needs to be brought in that if you crash, say 3 times in a year due to driver error, you lose your license for a year. It's not acceptable at this level of motorsport for these guys to continually cause these yellow flag incidents and to simply get away with it.
