The words of Ralf Schumacher

Ralf Schumacher analyzed Max Verstappen’s rainbow triumph: “We must not forget his teammate Sergio Pérez, who eventually made him world champion with his attack on Leclerc in the last corner that then led to a penalty for the Ferrari driver. Last year Max became world champion on the last lap, now on the last corner.”

“We can all read the rules, but even the brilliant minds at Red Bull Racing haven’t worked them out in detail,” he added, “There has to be a mini-article somewhere that then reverses the whole points system when the race is restarted. Also, the switch to intermediates at the start could have been made by others.”
