Lewis Hamilton, WHAT A DRIVE That overtake on Norris had me out of my seat. He came from so far back. Hoping he can convert it into some good points this afternoon.

That guy is insane... and Verstappen obviously being saved by someone, with his on board cam not being shown. I'd say he definitely tried to run Lewis off the track. He likes to push it doesn't he?

Might be the best drive I've ever seen, wow. He had some serious pace this weekend. The championship looks back on. And yeah, that looked pretty blatant from Vestappen. Would love to know the reasoning for not giving a penalty (other than the inevitable reaction from Red Bull and fans). I know I'm biased but his character is starting to irk me too. The way he laughed off the 50k fine and his response when he got told about the black and white flag. Not very cool.

I 100% agree with you. When I first started watching F1, I tried to get onboard the Red Bull train and wanted the underdogs to win. But I find it so hard to root for him and his personality. He's just a spaz. I like Lewis to begin with, but Verstappen makes me like Lewis even more haha

Literally could not have scripted this hahaha I feel like I say this after every race now but this episode of DTS is going to be wild. So much to unpack from that but my overriding thought is whether F1 can safely race at that track. They’ve got a 10 year deal apparently. Abu Dhabi is going to be tense!

I absolutely agree and you can hear it from almost everyone who are feeling the same way. Makes it very fun and exciting but jeez, if something were to happen it could be a situation where everyone says "we saw that coming". Did you see what happened in F2? Scary.

Feeling pretty aggrieved at that outcome. The safety car shenanigans looked to me like Race Control deciding to dispense with procedures for the sake of entertainment. I know they have a difficult job but sticking to their own rule book and applying consistency should be straight forward. It was inevitable how that lap would turn out once the safety car came in. I don't expect Mercedes' appeal to be successful though, it seems like murky territory to adjudicate.

My take on The Championship, the season was utterly brilliant, and the FIA made a lot of snap decisions over the course of the season they need to take a good hard look at. The unlapping drama is one of those things where Max fans are going to take Max's side and Lewis's fans are going to take Lewis's side. I was pulling for Max but I must admit I would have preferred a clean victory.
Here's what I do know, both drivers drove like champions all season long and both are worthy of the title. If a couple things would have happened different over the season we would have no drama over this ending at all. If Max doesn't crash out at Silverstone with Lewis walking away scot free, Max is Champion, no drama. If Max's tire doesn't blow up at Baku, Max is Champion, no Drama. If Lewis turns off Brake Magic at Baku, Lewis is Champion, no drama.
Now let's hope next year and the new regulations are nearly as good as this season was.

So… is Hamilton going to show up for the new season or nah? That's a freaking good question isn't it. Has he really been seen at all by anyone?! All I know is he's been completely off socials. In other news, Lance Stroll has spent a lot of time here in the mountain town I live in snowboarding since the season ended. Damn, I really hope I run into him.
