What in the world just happened? I don't know if it is the announcers fault for not knowing the rules or the FIA's fault for changing them at the last moment. But, they just talked for 5 minutes about how the lapped cars would not be allowed to pass the safety car.. then all of a sudden - Ok lapped cars pass the safety car?
Then of course the first lap where Hamilton goes off track to take the advantage and is allowed to supposedly slow down a little bit - (as opposed to letting Max pass to regain the advantage). I don't think I've ever seen that happen. In this case I don't think it would have mattered much, Hamilton had the pace to pass Max again anyways..
I wanted Max to win, but this just seemed cheap and inconsistent. I'm not sure if that's the fault of the announcers, the FIA, both. or me for not knowing the rules.
One last note - the safety car, and sprint for the final lap is just the typical Nascar race ending. Hamilton/MB owned that race.
