I've long been convinced that football is, by some distance, the worst run sport in the world, now I'm not so sure. There is Lewis Hamilton, 12 seconds clear of Verstappen, with 5 laps to go and cruising to the World Championship. A car hits a wall and out comes the safety car, next news there's one lap to go and Max is on fresh tyres and right up Hamilton's backside.

How on earth does that work, even football, with it's incompetent refs, nonsensical directives and dysfunctional VAR, could not contrive an outcome so ludicrously unfair as that. I'm no fan of Hamilton's, but this guy risks his life every time he gets into a car, and to be robbed of the world championship by some tit in a suit staring at a computer screen doesn't seem right to me.

Football is promoted, it's now only the 2nd worst run sport in the world.
