    Nice and all, but I always feel sad that drivers like Magnussen or Bottas don’t get such an opportunity when retiring. Only Alonso, Hamilton, Vettel etc do.

      Yeah. Both KMag and Bottas had their final F1 race and didn’t get this much attention.

      Hamilton isn’t even leaving F1, he’ll be there next year in a different team.

      Yes, him and Mercedes together had an outstanding run of championships, something quite special. Certainly something for them to celebrate, but both will be on the grid next year.

    Hamilton doing burnouts and donuts post race had to be the dumbest thing I have ever seen. You didn’t win, and you aren’t retiring.

      He’s their cash cow. A lot of people probably only subscribed to their stream because of him.
