F1 2021 Season
- Thread starter pauldyson1uk
- Start date
are you ahead of time or something?
Lewis looking somewhat in control now
Verstappen slowing down Bottas on the fast lap 
Sky go, a bit behind..
If Lewis has to lift and coast, Perez with catch him.
To stop max getting the point
realised that after posting
Not really, you claimed that it was wrong to claim Lewis was the underdog, and then rolled your eyes at a post that claimed it was wrong to claim Max is the underdog.
Anyway this conversation is circular and boring now, and your boy has the WC sewn up (and has for weeks) so why don't you celebrate that instead.
Bottas is worse than useless
well a double bad day.
Mclaren had a stinker and lewis not looking great.

Bottas
Fantastic drive by Lewis, all things considered. Verstappens never in doubt
Well done Bottas. Team player there, taking a point from Max
Ha ha! New lap record. Bit late mate. But far play.Bottas
'what a race' 
easy win for Max after the mess at turn1
Boring race, very boring race.
Lewis managing to hold of Perez was about the only highlight.

The joys of Sky Go, always behindHa ha! New lap record. Bit late mate. But far play.
No worries! I meant a bit late from Bottas.
Scenes As if Mexico have won the WC
As if Mexico have won the WCI’ve never seen somebody finish 3rd and be paraded around like a new world champion before
Amazing, only in Mexico I guess.I’ve never seen somebody finish 3rd and be paraded around like a new world champion before
Think Max has it in the bag now.
Is it not the first time a Mexican has been on the podium at the Mexican GP .I’ve never seen somebody finish 3rd and be paraded around like a new world champion before
If so its understandable.
Dutchman are ultimately nice people. Lewis has to activate and then take advantage of that.
Lewis need Max to DNF in 1 race, 2 would be better and he wins them.
Feel it is slipping away from Lewis now. Red bull is getting stronger each race
Seems like a job Bottas can do fine.
50/50 chance who he's taking out between Max and Lewis
He needs Verstappen to crash/fail (not wishing hurt on him) in a race.. and Lewis win it.
This crowd is great
Think the only way Lewis wins the title is if Max has a DNF.
Enter Bottas...
Enter Bottas...
Yeah.
I don’t want this title decided like that though. First time in a while we have two competitive cars and drivers. I think the title should just go to who can pull it out and win it. You can say Max has been lucky because Bottas just hasn’t been a team mate to Hamilton in the back half of the year. You could say Hamilton has been lucky because of the DNFs earlier in the year for Max and some of the other stuff. But overall it’s been a close race and to see it end on a DNF - whilst I’d be happy as a Hamilton fan, it’d not be a just finish I don’t think.
No I dont want the title decided like that and I dont think Lewis would either.
I agree close season so far and Lewis has had more than his share of luck.
I dont mind Max to be honest, its some of his fans that are annoying , oh and Horner.
He will win his first of a few WC's this season.
Max looking super dominant for sure.
Brilliant first corner from Max. Not the most exciting race after that but I love these evening time races
I don't think it does need Max to DNF. Looking at the races left, there's Brazil which Red Bull are probably favourites at followed by Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Abu Dhabi which on paper will suit the Mercs more. If they all finish 1-2 to Max and Hamilton and go towards the car which suits the tracks then Hamilton just nicks the championship.
Of course there's team mates, whether the cars will suit the tracks as expected and a potential engine penalty for Hamilton (which he will definitely take at Brazil if he has to) but I still think it's close as this race was always supposed to be a RB track.

Would Max not win the title by 5-6 points in that scenario? Or am I missing something? He’s 20 clear now, if he wins in Brazil he’ll be at least 27 clear with 3 races left, Max can then win the title with 3 P2 finishes ?
Yep, sorry - the standings I was looking at didn't include today
Max's advantage definitely then - at the least it needs Bottas to come ahead of Max on the Merc tracks. Also, I do feel that the Red bull are winning easier on their tracks compared to Merc on theirs.
