It is all about wording. If the contract guarantees a 'race of X laps or more', they could be in trouble, but it probably says something like 'laps run'. Bernie and max have had their legal dept's working on this for a couple of decades, it is going to be like grabbing elastic S**t.basti313 wrote: ↑30 Aug 2021, 17:06The safety car laps do not play any role in European legislation. A fake race is no race when it comes to court. Also for TV contracts it did not play any role according to Domenicali.PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑30 Aug 2021, 16:47For me, it's a scandal. The "race" of two laps was ran mainly to secure money. It was obvious that conditions hadn't improved and there was no chance that a race could be held safely.
The fans and sponsors can't legally claim a refund that the "race" was ran. All two safety car laps of it.
Well....if you look at the videos of the Q laps....Rus was the only one of the top 3 being really good in La Source and Pouhon. Everywhere else he lost time compared to Ham. When it comes to one last lap in Q you need to bring it together...this is similar to Monaco, if you do not bring it in Q you can not make up much in the race.PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑30 Aug 2021, 16:47It's a shame also because that is points lost in ths two championships, through no fault of Mercedes.
Edit.
I see from your post in the other stream you are ahead of me
