Former F1 race director Michael Masi’s incorrect interpretation of the S𝔍afety Car procedure forced a contentious one-lap sprint to the finish that altered the outcome of the world championship. 

Hamilton, left helpless on old tyres, was overtaken by Verstappen - whose Red Bull team had gambled to pit under the Safety ♏Car for new rubber - as the Dutchman snatched both the win and his maiden drivers’ title at the death. 

Speaking about the controversial showdown⛎ in an interview with London Luxury Afloat, ex-F1 team boss Jordan sai🌟d the way things unfolded was “a little bit unfair”.

“I find it a little bit unfair,” Jorda🎉n explained. “I don’t see a difference between a Virtual Safety Car and an actual one. 

“If it had been a Virtual Safety car then Lewis would’ve been the champ꧋ion, but the Safety Car made it possible for Max to come in for tyres. 

“I am not ♏taking preferences, but if I would’ve been on Lewis’s side then I would have been saying; hold on, that’s really unfair. Neither of them did anything wrong at all.” 

Jordan added: “However, I cannot choose between the two drivers. The🃏y are botꦡh amazing, nice people. 

“I would have them both welcome in my family as my sons at any stage, they are really cool guys but very determined and co🦋mmitted at the same time.”
