Such a forced hug from MBS to Lando lol

 

[Tejstar]

Not an exciting race, but very tense if you were rooting for Lando. Glad he pulled through, tbh any of the three would have been deserved champions.

Max had most wins but still not the Champion. Can't be many seasons where that has happened.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Great result, even if they did make a meal of it.

Max driving into Russell has proven quite costly. It’s his biggest weakness.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

I now have genuine fear over next years garbage cars. Could be good for Russell though. They think Merc have nailed the regs (on the rumours I saw online anyway)

 

[Scam]

Lando has the potential to be absolute killer in the coming years with the confidence from this. I’m so looking forward to it.

FIA Stewards - Turn 8 incident involving Bearman and and Stroll under investigation - More than one change of direction

FIA Stewards - 5 second time penalty for Bearman - More than one change of direction

 

[Psycho Ned]

Glad to see the back of these cars, least we can pretend till March the new ones will not be as bad/worse which is usually the case on reg changes

Id argue not as costly as it could have been. He should have had a race ban. So it’s not that relevant is it.

The chassis I dont mind on paper. The engines worry me. We shall see come testing/Australia

And now it's over to the post race scrutineering.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Did no one do any mad burnouts at the end? Did I miss it?

DC must be hating this Having to interview a non Red Bull WC

Lots of people saying the engine is great. We’ll see I guess.

He’s held is nerve well in the later half of the season.

Those orange car planks are looking a little small to my eye.

 

[andy_mk3]

One positive from the new cars will be a complete shake-up of the field hopefully.

Lando did aim donuts I think.

Oh yeah definitely, he’s already proved a lot of them wrong.

At least the knees on his trousers won't be getting worn out.

Think I saw Max in the background with a bit of sandpaper.....

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

A new team coming in as well is more than welcome.
