Who?Vettel showing up today. One of the few times this year.
The Merc hate is strong with this oneShite race. But atleast Merc were kept off first place for once.

Nice to see McLaren beat Tracing Point to third. Atleast they designed their own car. They should be even better next year when they swap Renault for a Merc engine
I'm really looking forward to see how Ricciardo does in the McLaren with a Merc inside itYup. A one team sport for a decade will do that

Absolutely. Always a crap race here.Interlagos should be the final race of every season. Not this rubbish
Yes. As boring as last race was exciting. Typical end of season atmosphere. Well done Max and well done McLaren for finishing 3rd after all those awful years.Easy win for Max today, given that both Merc had reduced engine power, but fair play to Max he took his chance and never looked in trouble.
OMG what a boring race, no excitement what so ever, what a disappointing end to the shortest season since 1966.
I actually think next season will be a lot more competitive .Wonder what race Mercedes will seal the championship next year?
F1 had good moments this year, but it's a long long way from being competitive.
Bottas has already signed for 2021 , Lewis still has to sign up, Russell will be at Merc for 2022 when the cars change under the new rules.I missed most of the race but doesn't look like I missed much?
I was surprised to see Hamilton back, there was a clip of him on Instagram in the week and he sounded really rough. Especially as its technically a nothing race as far as this season goes. I'd have liked to see Russell in the Mercedes again though so maybe im biased!
The person who said Bottas would be great for red bulls 2nd driver makes a very good point and I agree he would probably be solid there then let us make the most of Mercedes dominance by having George in the 2nd Mercedes. I think he would accept being number 2 driver for a couple of years, especially as he would probably become number 1 when Hamilton does whatever he does next. He would also learn loads from Lewis. Or maybe after next year, Lewis will presumably win title number 8 next year then he has one more year and can take on a mentor role for George as well.
Where are you looking? It's 8 seconds.A lap or two ago Sainz had a 10 second gap, now it's 4? Penalty could still make a difference
Normal service will presume next year when we have a fully fit Hammy.Shite race. But atleast Merc were kept off first place for once.

I absolutely am. If they fancy spending a few seasons in 4th I will be happy to reconsider. But already knowing who will win next year (like this year, last year, the year before, the year before that, etc) is not funYou a Merc hater
Fully deserved his win too. Yeah went down as one of the poorest shows from a excitement point of view. Lewis confirmed he was still recovering from the aftermath of Covid. Anti merc fans will say " well he would say that anyway "Easy win for Max today, given that both Merc had reduced engine power, but fair play to Max he took his chance and never looked in trouble.

Being the best at what they do does breed jealousy. Bit like United & Liverpool.I absolutely am. If they fancy spending a few seasons in 4th I will be happy to reconsider. But already knowing who will win next year (like this year, last year, the year before, the year before that, etc) is not fun
I would say he is not over it 100% , not even close, maybe his team should have told him to sit the race out, having been test positive, I know how much it takes out of you .Fully deserved his win too.

Sadly Bottas will keep his seat next year so we're going to have to wait till 2022 for Russell. Instill have this thing in my head though Given the same car is Lando faster than Russell.
A lot can happen in 12 months but yeah Russell odds on to be in a Merc in 2022. Here's a question though, who with? I think if Hammy makes it 8 he may well retire, hopefully not but a possibility.I would say he is not over it 100% , not even close, maybe his team should have told him to sit the race out, having been test positive, I know how much it takes out of you .
Lando faster then Russell in the same car, now thats an interesting idea, one I like, I like both drivers, Russell will be a Mercedes driver in 2022
If he wins 8 I think he may retire too, but with new rules and cars coming in 2022, he may move team Ferrari ? and see what happens with a new car.A lot can happen in 12 months but yeah Russell odds on to be in a Merc in 2022.

I followed F2 for the first time this year and I'm hooked, just a fantastic series with proper racing from start to finish.F2 is like watching football pro teams and F1 is non pro team. Watched F2 for first time last weekend. Will watch a lot more next year!
Exactly! I loved it last weekend, can’t wait for next season.I followed F2 for the first time this year and I'm hooked, just a fantastic series with proper racing from start to finish.
Perez I think is a better driver, in the Red Bull he will do well.Sky saying Perez is expected to get the Red Bull seat? I totally missed that.
I do think it's a bit harsh on Albon despite some struggles this year, but it's great to see Perez stay in F1
