Is that a bit Harsh? I can imagine a court will prove that they 'were robbed', but I believe the method of compensation for this is ambiguous. Taking the title off Max for mistakes by the FIA is not a just resolution imo. Exonerating Mercedes opinion of how the race ended, and compensating Mercedes from the FIA's pocket - now that's a just solution in my opinion. The way I see it, the process of exonerating them has already commenced by announcing the 'probe' investigation. I would say there is no doubt that some kind of concession or otherwise has or will be negotiated behind closed doors for compensation. That's how it works in F1 now. Like when Ferrari were allegedly caught cheating with their power units a couple seasons ago.
But anyway, each to their own opinion!
I don't think there is any prize money in the drivers championship? the prize money is in the constructors title? not sure if winning a race gets a bonus or anything. Haven't read that anywhere. So anyway, If Hamilton prefers not to pursue it in court, than Mercedes could just leave it if no prize money at stake - they have the constructors championship.Last edited by squibby; 16th December 2021 at 20:35.
