That and the last lap ruling race director to allow some cars to unlap themselves and not others, which is something that never happens. Either all cars unlap themselves or no one does. The upshot was Red Bull was put into a position to win by the Race Director after not being able to match Hamilton’s pace all day.
I take nothing away from Adrian Newey, he designs fast well balanced cars; nor do I take anything away from Max Verstappen, he is a phenomenal driver, it was just a poor decision by the F1 race director.
I think Newey didn’t have the engine to match his aero designs for the Mercedes dominated years. Mercedes won on having the best engine and a chassis designed to maximize that advantage and no team really had an answer to that until their engine tech caught up a bit.

He split the hair just right to make for a thrilling end to an otherwise boring race, but at the tyrannical expense of pissing everybody off and killing his reputation stone dead.
