Great performance by Leclerc, but for me Hamilton should have been driver of the day…
At least the stewards have been consistent this session!
Chaotic start!
If this is Perez’s final race, what a shame for it to end this way. Man has had no luck at all.
Piastri and Verstappen contact wew.
Unfortunate about Bottas’ start.
Gasly in 3rd! Hulk in 5th!
Amazing start from Leclerc though, went to P8.
And that’s race end! McLaren are constructors champions!
Glad we got to see donuts by Hamilton.
Personally found this weird considering Bottas, Zhou, Magnusson, Colapinto, Peréz are not coming back for the start of next season.
Surely the donuts should have been theirs, but I remember Schumacher Jr wasn’t allowed :(
I looked at the post-race procedure notes. According to it: “After taking the chequered flag the top three (3) drivers and driver of car 44 (if outside of top tree (3)) should stay on track, drop to the back of the field and then proceed directly to the Grid where there will be the opportunity for post-championship celebrations should they wish to do so.”
Departing drivers weren’t allowed, but the top 3 were allowed to do donuts. They just … didn’t?
Do you know why only them are allowed to do the donuts?
Not sure. But apparently Zhou did donuts?
Ah yeah, that makes sense, good spot!
Maximum penalties today. Other than the one for max, none of the penalties seemed deserved.
Edit: I am talking about the severity of the penalties not whether the penalty itself was valid or not
Huh? All of them were deserved.
I mean that the severity of the penalties seemed unjustified for every incident except for the max and Piastri one
Hamilton the only one on the hard tire. They’ve done this before and I believe it hasn’t worked out in his favor.
Hoping he makes it to the podium.
With his starting position, they HAVE to try something different. If they stick with conventional, they might make up 5-10 places, but that’s not their goal.
I was sceptical about it but Bono says a P3 is possible.
He’ll need a divine SC intervention for a cheap pitstop.
Thanks to Verstappen this race was at least a bit more exciting than the expected McLaren 1-2
Max trying to help Charles and Ferrari 😭
Such class. 🙄
It’s the last race of the year, fingers crossed for an exciting one!
