I'm also pretty content with Merc not getting everything they want. Wolff's behaviour during the race (e.g. telling Masi not to call safety cars!!) and then this whole dragging a QC to try and get someone stripped of the title who didn't do anything wrong and won it in racing conditions (regardless of the rights and wrongs of how that came to be, which wasn't down to him)... shocking disregard for the sport and the fans in my view. Such a bad look.
Horner and Red Bull are equally as guilty when it comes to this. On the radio asking Masi why lapped cars aren't being allowed to unlap themselves, then next thing you know the lapped cars between Lewis and Max are waved through. I am not saying that it happened because Red Bull asked for it, but still.
I agree that it should not be taken to court, and I have a feeling the Mercedes will just leave it now. There is no glory in winning a world championship in a court room.
F1 and the FIA need to learn from this though.
