True, but I live in hope that something might just sink in with some of these people who can't see past their bias and then discuss the issues from a position of rationality.
You know as well as I that opinions don’t change on the internet. Not for blatant trolls at any rate.

Pretty sure the overarching reaction has been to the situation which occurred and led to Max’s win. If anything, Max should’ve welcomed the tribunal appeal to solidify is win because without it it will always be considered a tainted championship. An asterisk will forever follow the 2021 WDC.

See, if you do not want rules applied fairly then even dropping Masi.
Wont help.

If everybody is honest, Ham fans are arguing from a position of bias as well.

Agree, fans by definition do.

Tainted by Lewis fans only. Everyone else has moved on.
18 finishes, 18 podiums, no less than 2nd place. Would have been 2 more if he hadn't been taken out by Hamilton and Bottas.
Max is the deserving champion over the course of the year. Hamilton shouldn't even have gotten this close if decisions during the year hadn't gone his way. Heck even up until the first lap of this very race he got away without being penalised.
Time to move on and look forward to 2022...

Is this the go-to canned response? The FIA is not having a commission for anything other than repairing it’s reputation. Hence the asterisk now and forever.

Because Toto cried so hard his ass started bleeding. Again highlighting the point that they're actually more accommodating towards Merc. Thanks for pointing that out...

Thanks for the mental image but no, the FIA knows how “full retard” Masi went to the extent that even the US audience was like “wtf?!”.

Amazing if the engine doesn’t have to last 5+ races. Same deal with quali engines a decade or so ago.I've never seen an engine change suddenly making such a difference in a car as we've seen in a certain Merc at the end of the season.. McLaren , Williams and Aston Martin must be like

If Ferrari erased a - 0.3s gap in racing trim and even improve it to a +0.3s during half a season of racing pundits would say they must be cheating

Ferrari 2022: will there be innovative solutions to the rear? https://www.formu1a.uno/ferrari-2022-ci-saranno-delle-soluzioni-innovative-al-posteriore/
"...
Project 674 has been 'working' for two years in Maranello
The 2022 cars will have an extremely different aerodynamic concept than the current ones. They will be machines rather unbalanced at the rear and therefore more limited at the front. In short, there is an 'intrinsic' understeer in the new concept of cars that will tend to have to change the driving style on the part of the drivers.
"Not everyone will adapt in the same way: there will be a lot to learn," said Mattina Binotto in the post Abu Dhabi. “The cars will look more like Formula 2 and therefore those who did well in that world championship will probably be fast on the new cars too” commented the team principal of the Italian team.
Also in terms of setup it will be something different than in recent years with more neutral set- ups than in 2021 and less 'concerned' about protecting the rear .
Aerodynamics: main focus on the rear
Ferrari 2022 was born under the banner of cautious but decisive optimism . Mainly for two factors. Having consciously sacrificed 2 years , hence the very little development work, towards 2020, of the SF90 precisely to focus on the new cars that should have initially debuted in 2021 (then Covid postponed the debut to 2022), and on the SF21. In addition to having solved in an important way the age-old problem of data correlation, which was a fundamental node for having tools available to transform the ideas of the technical office into something truly productive on the car. A problem that has been worked on a lot in the last 18 months, with important results.
A clear example of what must not be repeated are the funds delivered by the SF1000, the SF90 and (in part) also the SF71H. All macro components born from a sort of technical misunderstanding. In order to manage the flows in an optimal way, we resigned ourselves to penalizing the rear tires at times (overheating), at times the aerodynamic efficiency of the car , using wings with greater aerodynamic resistance. A problem solved on the rear of the SF21.
After the homologation of the frame, the 'last' aerodynamic resources have long been concentrated on the rear. We know that with the budget cap there is no possibility of infinite development on multiple areas, it is essential to decide the area of greatest opportunities. The suction cup bottom will have an inlet air flow greater than the current cars, this flow must be suitably slowed down, but above all it must be disposed of through the diffuser avoiding stalling when speed and load vary.
In this sense, we have heard that the regulation leaves some opportunities in that macro area of the new car , so much so that in Maranello they are testing an "innovative diffuser" in the gallery, a rather different solution from that seen on the Silverstone Fia dummy.
At Maranello they are convinced that it will be very important to have maximum rear stability and traction in order to increase the front load without needing a rear wing that generates an exaggerated drag to balance it in slow motion.
Power unit: Ferrari can no longer afford a power deficit
In Russia, the new ERS was introduced on the SF21 which was a success in terms of reliability and performance. Analyzing the gps data it was verified how significant the step was , enough to clear the gap from the super efficient McLaren.
After the hybrid update already seen on the track, all the effort is aimed at the internal combustion engine (ICE) . A source told us that the 2022 power unit showed “ power levels that are adequate to what we expect from the competition. The work is now proceeding on the reliability front. Once we are satisfied we will go back to implementing the hybrid part during the current season ".
We remind you that in terms of homologation, endothermic, turbocharger, MGU-H, exhaust, petrol and oil must be approved by 1 March 2022 . While the battery, the electronic control unit and the MGU-K motor generator by 1 September 2022. ..."

Gees, I wonder how competitive the Redbulls will be without Honda in the mix? There's a lot for them to chew on with the power unit management moving in house.
It's like a poem, only...not (to paraphrase John Travolta in Face/Off).

If I understand correctly, they've basically brought the entire engineering team across so not too much difference from how it's been.
