JEREMY CLARKSON blasted F1 stewards for the safety car decision that robbed Lewis Hamilton of an eighth world title – even though he was happy with the result. Stewards said lapped cars would not be allowed to pass under safety car conditions, before reversing that call to allow a handful of backmarkers through. A fuming Clarkson wrote on Twitter: “That stewards’ decision is wrong. Chelsea fan Clarkson was referring to the dubious decision to award Manchester City a penalty against Wolves. But a classy Hamilton refused to be drawn on the controversial call as he praised Verstappen in his post-race interview.
