Mercedes protests rejected by Formula 1 stewards as title goes to Max Verstappen
The main controversy arose over the way Masi handled the decision to restart the race at the start of the final lap.
It put Verstappen right behind Hamilton on much fresher, grippier tyres, and the Dutchman passed Hamilton on the final lap.At restarts after safety-car periods, lapped cars are normally allowed to pass the leaders and un-lap themselves so they do not interfere with the race. At the same time, article 48.12 of the sporting regulations says that "once the last lapped car has passed the leader, the safety car will return to the pits at the end of the following lap". In this case, the race was started at the end of the same lap.The stewards ruled that a separate rule gave Masi the power to control the safety car, which "includes its deployment and withdrawal".
