New Betting Sites UK Fans Mourn Hamilton’s F1 Loss

- Grant Whittington

Popular F1 racer Bernie Ecclestone has made a controversial statement. In a recent interview he stated that he is glad that Lewis Hamilton did not claim an eighth world title. Though, it seems that the words are more than just sour grapes and new betting sites UK fans may agree. The racer clarified that his happiness is due simply to the fact that had Hamilton won, it would have meant that the exceeding of the record currently held by the legendary Schumacher.

But as controversial as the words might be, they are not nearly as controversial as the result of the race itself. Hamilton was beaten by Max Verstappen, though the victory can hardly be called clean by any means. Many even went so far as to say that it was amongst the most questionable finishes in all of F1 history.

Ecclestone, however, appeared to have no sympathy for the outcome.

He Did Nothing Wrong

In clarifying his position, the racer explained that any talk of Hamilton being robbed is nothing short of utter nonsense, and those who wagered on him at new UK bookmakers would know the risks. He stressed that Hamilton had left the circuit, only to return later, while Verstappen had stayed on the track and done nothing wrong at all.

He elaborated that Lewis hadn’t been punished at all for his leaving the track, and so really shouldn’t be complaining about the eventual outcome. He added simply that unusual outcomes happen in sports all the time, and that the race director certainly isn’t to blame, given that he did exactly what he was supposed to do.

Lewis, however, seems to disagree with this sentiment. He was clearly heard on his radio declaring that the race had been manipulated, though perhaps wasn’t thinking clearly given the stressful circumstances of the moment.

An Incredible World Championship

Ecclestone continued by saying that he very much doubts that the race had been manipulated, pointing out that he couldn’t imagine who would be clever enough to control a race so carefully in such unusual conditions. His conclusion was that no matter what fans and the new betting sites UK offers may think, they certainly enjoyed watching such an incredible and dramatic championship.

Regardless of what is being said about the unorthodox outcome, the matter may not be over. There is still a chance that Mercedes may lodge an appeal, though it isn’t clear if they intend on doing so. The only thing that is certain is that this is a championship that will live on in history. Even if it will always have a reputation as amongst the most unexpected outcomes ever seen.
