I mean he could have got in the same lap as Verstappen did but they kept him out,here was their error losing race
Not sure why people keep suggesting this, when it's clearly not the case.
If Hamilton pitted first, then Verstappen would have stayed out on fairly fresh tyres, Hamilton would have gambled that the race would have time to restart, and then gamble on being able to pass Max on track.
If Verstappen pitted first, then remember that the Mercedes has to go past the pit lane entrance before Max gets there... so Lewis wouldn't have been able to copy Max's stop until the next lap, by which time Max would have been back out and in the lead.
Basically the only option Mercedes had for winning the race was to stay out on track.
Lewis cannot go in the same lap as Verstappen, unless you mean Lewis goes in first... in which case of course Max stays out. You can only copy what someone else does
before you, you can't copy what someone will do
after you.
The call from Mercedes has been rejected and now Verstappen according to FIA is the winner.
I don't think it is over yet, Fia did something stupid and Mercedes will probably go legal on this situation.
A lot of money are involved.
Yes, it was inevitable they'd reject it, and equally inevitable Mercedes will make a legal challenge. Masi broke two rules, and set two precedents, firstly that
some but not all cars unlap themselves, and secondly that safety car goes in the same lap, not end of the next lap. Apply either of those two rules normally, as they have always been applied before, and the race ends under safety car, and Lewis wins. Basically Masi manipulated it so that the championship would't end under the safety car, and would have Max and Lewis racing wheel to wheel... which given the tyre situation was basically bending the rules to guarantee a Max win, but with normal application of the rules Max would always otherwise be in a losing position. By error or by design, not sure which, Masi ignored the rules and his justification for doing so was basically 'race director can do whatever he wants, regardless of rules'. This is going to get far messier than it already is.
