In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Sainz looks closer?
Go on Chuck! Take that podium from Mercedes.
If he does, it’ll be on the final lap looking at the pace.
Leclerc driver of the day for me, from back of the grid to 5th maybe better.
Surprised that Sainz is still in range tbh
Sainz is messy in that chicane before the hairpin.
So the big hole worked in the end...
Max is keeping it cool. Looks like it’ll take a mistake from him to let Sainz in but I can’t see it.
Seems Le Clerc is feeling the age on his mediums now.
Nah, they just reverted to Russell’s set up after the stupid experiments.So the big hole worked in the end...
Benefitting from DRS and the occasional slipstream.
Alonso 
By his words he would finish the 70 laps before Ocon completes 1

who knows, maybe sky have something when they hinted Lewis was running the same set up as Russell.So the big hole worked in the end...
DRS the only thing keeping Sainz behind close, if not for DRS he would be far behind.
Alpines keeping Alonso behind Ocon is ridiculous.
Alpines keeping Alonso behind Ocon is ridiculous.
He’s dropping outside of the operating window! His lap time has been consistent with Russell for the last couple of laps so he’s not making any inroads on the gap.
Sainz will win a GP when one falls into his lap via retirement of enough of his close rivals or other favorable circumstances. On straight up pace he won't be winning. I like the guy but he just doesn't seem to be at the very top level.
Sainz much closer this lap…
And for all the moaning from Hamilton, they had pretty much the same pace as Ferrari this race.
Leclerc was faster than everyone else, but he can't get close to Russell even on mediums.

Really composed drive from Max.
Sainz bottled his hairpin. Muppet.
Some great driving by both
Easy sunday drive for max
Max really showing his class here, only Lewis and Leclerc can keep up with him.
Really feel for Alonso, Alpine are a joke, they fecked him over once again.

Take a bow son. The best driver the past 6-7 years.
Sainz had it to 0.5 and lost 0.3 in the hairpin before the straight. That was the chance.
First podium for Hamilton since the opening race of the season.
Sainz is always the bridesmaid and never the bride.
Nice try
And that's how the cookie crumbles...
That was a great end to the race. Best this season for me.
Sainz locked the front right coming into the last hairpin.
In the end Max was excellent and composed in that final stage after the SC. Great driving. Didn’t put a foot wrong.
Yesssssssss Crybabysssss
verstappen radio broken or has he been replaced with a mute robot?
Super Max is just crazy consistent isn't he? If the car doesn't fail, he is in with a great shot to win every time.
I have to admit that was a decent win for Max, Seinz did his best but only got close due to DRS.
Lewis and Russell in 3rd and 4th was an cracking result for them, what ever they did to the car obviously worked for them. They are fast,
Leclerc to finish 5yh was a stunning drive for me, he had problems but just got on with it.
Very good race.

Great drive from Max
Really is. Only Lewis can match him lap for lap.
Looked to me like the Ferrari was definitely the fastest car but Sainz is just not on Max's level. Would have been a different story had it been Leclerc in that position.
