Throughout the entire season NO one but Max and Checo could defend against Lewis for as long as they could.

(That was some spectacular defending, as well as Checo in Abu Dhabi and Turkey)

I retract my statement. Alonso was by far the best at it.

We might have had a proper 5 lap race ending.

Maxsterix might still be Max 0

The track conditions didn't really warrant a red flag situation.
There was just 1 non severe crash.

And of course VER was only able to overtake HAM because of RB's aggressive strategy.
Going in for fresh reds right away just after the crash occurred.
If HAM had done the same it would have been an even race. But he didn't
And if HAM went in and VER stayed out, VER would have been first on used whites and HAM would have been trailing on fresh reds.

So really in the end both teams made their choices, and fresh reds are faster than used whites.

And everyone knew that Masi had the policy to have cars race as much as possible. (he even said that the race before) No way was he having the race finish under SC.

In that last lap MAX would beat HAM over and over again ...

It's not so much that the track conditions did not warrant a red flag, it has more to do with the decision that was ultimately made. Any decision could have been made under the "did not want the race to end under a safety car/let's give the fans a race" but a decision was made that greatly benefited one driver over the other. If Masi felt like the decision he made was for the betterment of the sport, he could have easily made a judgement call to red flag the race under his discretion - there's no real hard criteria to when a red flag can come out other than there being an accident which there was.

Don't really care about the result, but how much more awesome would it have been if it was a race between HAM and VER with all things equal? Once Masi made the call, everyone and their pet knew VER was going to win and the "race" wasn't really a "race" unless you wanted a VER win. The only way HAM was going to win is if VER spun out or caused an unrecoverable error but outside of that, the race was VER to take/win and there was nothing HAM could do.

That's been taken hard by some HAM fans, they just don't see it.
Maybe putting it on again will help.
