So you were wrong then. Good of you to admit it.
For balance, here's a brief resume of the man you disagree with:
Adrian Newey, OBE (born 26 December 1958) is a British Formula One engineer. He is currently the chief technical officer of the Red Bull Racing Formula One team.
Newey has worked in both Formula One and IndyCar racing as a race engineer, aerodynamicist, designer and technical director and enjoyed success in both categories. Considered one of the best engineers in Formula One, Newey's designs have won numerous titles and over 150 Grands Prix. With ten Constructors' Championships he has won more than any other designer and is the only designer to have won constructors' titles with three different Formula One teams, while seven different drivers have won the Drivers' Championship driving Newey's designs. After designing championship-winning Formula One cars for Williams F1 and McLaren, Newey moved to Red Bull Racing in 2006, his cars winning the Formula One drivers' and constructors' championships consecutively from 2010 to 2013, and the drivers’ championship in 2021.[1] Newey's designs also won the 1985 and 1986 CART titles.[2]
And to further aid your understanding of my post:
You know, like saying 'On balance, we've had the quicker car'. He's not really left a lot of room for interpretation there, has he, or can you explain how that unequivocal statement could be interpreted to imply that on balance, the RB car was slower? ?
He never uttered the word “majority”. So you are wrong. He said “on the balance” meaning taking everything into consideration. Your just twisting words to suit.

I want to see the best driver win. If it is Hamilton for 5 years in a row, I'm happy for that. If it's 10, I'm still happy with that. You really think it's an insult that Lewis is so good he wins before the end? ?
I enjoy seeing two good drivers push each other, but if the winner is decided by a rule breaching decision, that leaves a sour taste.
Yeah yeah yeah Lewis is the GOAT I know. I hope he’s up for nomination for SPOTY 2021. I promise to vote for him.

And yet Adrian Newey, Chief Technology Officer of the Red Bull Racing Team and the greatest race car designer of his era, when interviewed immediately after the race, stated unequivocally that for majority of the season, the Red Bull was the faster car.
Whoosh....
I’ve just watch it back and Newey actually said ….”on balance we’ve had the quicker car”. He never said unequivocally they had the quicker car for the majority of the season ?

Greatest driver in the history of F1 in my opinion. Anyone dismissing his record at Mercedes is being entirely ignorant of just how had it is to maintain that level of dominance, the mercs have always had good cars but it's been pretty close in some seasons, the difference is the way Lewis is piloting the car.
Mercedes owe him everything. He'll be back next season to compete at the very top again. Hopefully number 8 isn't stolen from him next time!
Surely you want to see a competition? Hamilton has sleepwalked his way through the last 4 years with no competition. I say thank god for Max actually making a season of it. If it wasn’t for him Hamilton would have won again with 5 races to spare, the way the so called GOAT normally likes to operate.

It will be telling if mr Masi will be the F1 race director at the beginning of 2022.

Justice has be correctly served ?

I think the problem is Mercedes are now saying that if they had known under the safety car the 5 lapped cars would have been allowed to unlap themselves then Hamilton would have pitted for softs. However RB are saying if that would have happened Max would have rolled the dice and stay out on his used hards and would have had track position in first position. Then either the race would have end with Max first under the safety car or Hamilton would have had to pass Max on the final lap if it was restarted. If it was the latter (restart), I’m sure there would have been a good chance it would have ended up with them crashing.
Merc’s augmented are a bit like Steve Gibson’s all ifs and buts. -

Yeah, Masi has been bad all year.
I don't think he's tried to favour merc or red bull, i think he's just not got the judgment and authroity and instinct to size it up and decisivily deal with the decisions he needs to make.
Stewarding decisions have been inconsistent all year as well. It's easy to make a case either way about them favoring Max or Lewis, I think in the end Max probably got the better of it because he was on the edge far more and got away with quite a few that should really have been called (then when he does get called he say "but i was allowed the other one"), but Lewis has had some that would probably be penalised if he weren't Lewis Hmilton (this has always been the case to an extent in F1, where top drivers get away with more, I remember fuming at Schumacher a few times).
Masi is the race director like a ref in the middle of the park. The 5 race stewards different ones at every race with at least one an ex F1 driver, (today’s ex F1 driver was Del-boy Warwick) make the final decisions. Masi refers incidents to the 5 stewards for judgment and what penalties are dished out. Masi to be fair has tried to let them race.

If he was the better driver over the season he wouldn't have been staring at Lewis's backside hoping the race director can conjure up a way to gift him the title advantage back.
Definitely a great and exciting driver. But he just got an absolute gift there.
Hamilton has sleepwalked through 4 world championships since the start of 2017. He doesn’t like being challenged, no wonder he thinks Bottas is the best team mate ever because he completely manipulated him.

Max would beat Hamilton easily in the same machine. Full stop.

Well he hasn't has he? Lewis would have been the better driver over the season, short of an embarrassing decision that doesn't follow the rules. The remedy is to decide the race based on the positions drivers were in before the final lap, which would have happened if the rules had been followed anyway! Easy fix.
Mercedes poor losers? Lewis was completely humble.
What a joke that would be. Would Hamilton really want to win like that? All the fireworks and podium interviews, what re do them again? You cannot delete the moment or the memory. What about Silverstone. Hamilton got away with it there. Hamilton humble ? more like passive aggressive in my opinion, like in all his interviews, he’s clever. He’s not been seen yet in the interview pen has he?

Just now, Andicis said:
No, but that isn't what I'm talking about anyway?
He stormed off last week in a race he lost, I fail to see why anybody should show him grace in victory today.
He couldn't catch Lewis on 40 lap old tyres but was given the opportunity of a one lap shoot out on soft tyres against a driver with old hard tyres. It's hardly fair.
Max has been the better driver over the season. Wolff and Mercedes are poor losers also. Its all sour grapes. What’s the remedy? Rerun the race tomorrow?

Perez did a great job of holding Hamilton up, it looked very much like Lewis was going to cruise into the distance at that point!
Yeah, Verstappen stormed off the podium last week in a race he lost fair and square, Lewis stayed and congratulated Max for his ''victory'' today that is at best contentious, at worst almost rigged level of a poor decision.
Verstappen is not responsible for the stewards and race directors decisions (like players aren’t with a ref in footy) all Max can do is race.

I can think of a few reasons:- We were close to the Premier League in the Lampard year, so risk v reward was justified. Might be £1m a month but would have got it all back with promotion. Now there’s no reward in sight.
- He’s been talking with buyers for a couple of years but said that none worked out and he feels the only way they would buy would be from administration. They’ve forced his hand.
- He knows that the 9 point deduction was coming, so might as well lump everything in one season.
All just assumptions obviously but I can see why it’s come now rather than 3 years ago with Lampard in charge.
These are really good points, but to me he’s bailing out. Even with a 9 points deduction we’d have a chance of staying up. He was the main decision making what got us in this mess, he should stay and get us out of it.

If this is true we will be a Bolton case, playing in league 2 in a couple of years.
How can one man’s egotistical, vanity decision end up like this with these terms imposed? Very sad and bad ? -
I’m getting lots of comms / email updates from the club. Dave Mackay autobiography, men’s DCFC fashion, season ticket availability. Isn’t that enough? ?♂️

Are you trying to provoke World War III on this forum when someone suggests Chris Martin?
Lets not kid ourselves we’ve had to let some better players go over the 2 years. Off the top of my head I’d say Bogle, Lowe, Waghorn, Keogh … would all have started on Saturday if still here.

I think in my opinion he’s overhyped. He’s been very very fortunate that he’s raced in an era for a team with total dominance and only during the Rosberg years did he not get things all his own way. Furthermore he’s raced an era of more racers per season and unreal reliability, so of course he will break all records.
