Masi was basically given Hobson’s choice.
Either leave the lapped cars where they are, Hamilton wins, Red Bull appeal and we end with a s**tstorm.
Or let Verstappen get behind Hamilton for a short race which Verstappen wins with fresh tyres, Mercedes appeal and we end with a s**tstorm.
Personally believe that if roles were reversed and Verstappen was 11 seconds ahead of Hamilton when Safety car deployed Lewis would not have overtaken Max as it would have been the honourable thing to do.
Red Bullies know in their heads that they didn’t win fairly but are not sportsmen.
