Happy for Checo in any event - driven stupendously well this season. Absolute farce if he doesn't get that Red Bull seat.

Split emotions on this. Perez winning is great to see but so so so gutted for George. Never put a foot wrong all race and Merc shot him in both feet. At least he has his first points (for now unless the FIA join Merc in fucking him up)

 

[jlo]

Gutted. Russell showing his full potential is immense and the challenge he'll put in the future. Wouldn't want to be returning to Williams after that. Also clear he is stronger than Bottas I think.

 

[Nando]

Mazepin is an awful specimen. Should be binned immediately but suspect the $$ will keep him in the seat.

Mazepin is an awful specimen. Should be binned immediately but suspect the $$ will keep him in the seat.

I’ve heard nothing but bad things about him and his racing at the weekend was appalling. He’s got himself a bollocking already from Haas, I can’t imagine the other drivers will stand for his shit no matter how much money he has.

I don't know anything about him. Is he not a nice bloke then?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

You might want to look into his social media feed, although the misogynistic content he has been bollocked for has been removed. He’s a shit.

 

[Kenny]

Lewis back in the Merc this weekend for the final race.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Looking forward to this. Yas Marina looks ace but sometimes isn’t an overtaking paradise but the Mercs behind Max could be fun.

 

[Nando]

This track is absolute garbage.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Problem is the kink before the hairpin as they have to slow the drivers to avoid the scene of the accident being about row ten of the grandstand

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Full safety car seems a bit odd...

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Absolutely dull race. Yawn.

 

[The Bear]

Yep shite. Dipped in and out several times and it never changed.

 

[Tredman]

That was dreadful.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

That was dreadful.

Generous. Absolute rubbish race with the Mercs turned down to preserve the last engine in the last race where it doesn’t matter. Just boring.

 

[Kenny]

Track has always been shit. Drivers generally know it is unlikely they will lose a spot. Remember the year when Rosberg won the title there and Lewis kept backing him into the pack and no one could take him.

Snoozefest most years

 

[Tredman]

On the upside I’ve been putting off tidying the wires behind the tv for years - managed to do it while watching the race.

 

[Kenny]

Tsunoda confirmed for Alpha Tauri

 

[Kenny]

Reports saying Perez to Red Bull done and Albon down to Test Driver.

Callum Illott is the test drive for Ferrari, presume keeping him sharp for when Haas have to bin Mazepin...

Just Lewis left to confirm for next season
