Welcome to Mist Apex Podcast. I'm your host, Richard Spanner's ready and wow!

What a year of Formula One we've all enjoyed together for this review.

We'll be looking at the whole pack of course, but there might be some time we spend

looking at the top two because, well, that's significant. I think this was the max versus

Lewis Championship, so I think we will spend a little bit of time on that top two.

And I think my view on where the title was won and lost might not be exactly what you would expect.

It's not all about Abu Dhabi. It isn't, so we will not be revisiting the things that

happened on Saturday as a topic. Except that, I want to tell you that I am still recovering.

I'm still recovering from Sunday. I am still pretty irked.

I thank you for the massive amounts of feedback we had people said that I was rational and

reasonable for that Abu Dhabi review. For which I am sorry.

That was not my intention to come across like that. I did not mean to be neutral on

whether how that race ended was right or not right.

So if I came across as kind of both sides in whether or not it should have restarted in that

manner, I apologize. Let me clarify the way the race ended in Abu Dhabi was wrong.

Massey's decision to create new procedures on the fly and conducting F1 in a way that

no team could reasonably expect it to have been run was wrong.

Deviating from the actual written procedures was wrong.

It was done for the show and that is bad and it hurt F1. A major readjust is needed.

I also will further add, despite my desire for FIA accreditation one day, I will also further add

that I am disappointed with the response from the FIA they doubled down.
