  1. There should be a rule that says that when there is a likelihood the race will finish under SC, the race should stop and be restarted.

  2. Considering that during the season there have been several incidents where actions by Mercedes cost Verstappen dozens of points, I'd say that though Masi's decision was controversial, it does serve justice. Verstappen was the quickest throughout the season. If, for example, Hamilton hadn't punted Verstappen out at Silverstone, Max would have been crowned champion last week. In the end, Masi had the prerogative to make this decision, though e.g. a full restart might have been a better solution to the situation.

  3. Mercedes has earlier been one of the loudest advocates to decide races by racing, so they shouldn't complain that Masi took their advice.

  5. It is fair and legal under the current rules. You can't blame Verstappen for using the rules to his best advantage. Just like Hamilton does. Whining about it is like whining about a goal that was rejected due to the off-side rule. If the rule hadn't been there, the defending team wouldn't have let the attacker get behind the defense but have made sure a defender was between the goal and the attacker.
