Honestly, Lewis needs to just shut his mouth and learn when to pipe down...
Some people here are busy blaming Charlie, but if you ask me, Lewis is way more to blame than Charlie for what went down at Watkins Glen...
We all know Charlie. He’s obsessed with driver safety. He’ll throw an SC on the track for anything—a tiny piece of debris or even just a few raindrops on the asphalt.
But what happened here? At the start of the race, we saw the real Charlie, driving under the SC like he always does. Then Lewis starts getting in his head, pressuring him to keep the race going, making those passive-aggressive comments that basically made the whole world laugh at Charlie... And it clearly worked. By the end of the race, despite Sutil's accident and that heavy rain, Charlie didn't pull the SC. I bet he was stuck thinking, "Look, Lewis has a massive lead, if I call the SC now, he's gonna chew me out over the radio again."
Obviously, Charlie isn't going to say that publicly, but the SC stayed out because of Lewis...
When it comes to the SC and keeping drivers safe, Lewis needs to stay quiet and let the officials do their jobs without all the psychological games.
