He cant react....Hes already labelled due to personal politics and gets a lot of hate. He wants the audience to judge for themselves and not override it with post race antics. The story will stay on topic when they print it. It wont read "Hamilton acts out post race"
Human nature is to take any win even if a child ran on the track and the rules state something else. I dont see race leader saying not like this, one more or redo it. You take your W and pretend nothing happened.
In terms of appeal, its like appealing to Vince McMahon on why a championship belt shouldn't change hands. Its not your company 😉. "bossman wtf was that" "......*shrugs"....but boss.....*shrugs*......the rules state *shrugs*.....
