2021 Formula One Season: Championship Decider Abu Dhabi - Verstappen Wins in a Controversial Race! 🏆 🍾

Russell + hot talent - by that time Russell should be ready for senior number 1 driver duties.

Alpine seem keen to retain Ocon indefinitely. Norris would be a wild card imo but McLaren again would be keen to have him as the face of the team indefinitely. Perhaps someone like a Piastri

It probably wouldn't happen (and would piss off Christian Horner) but I would love to see Gasly in a top team again.

That would be the spot.

RBR will probably keep Perez on for as long as possible, they don't want the drama of 2 top guys again.

Can someone explain Red Bull having a setup for this race that seems to be very quick in the straights (matched Mercedes in quali) why they didn't do this for the last 3 races?

They're naturally better in the higher speed corners anyway, so a title bit of straight line pace is always a help.

The issue for them is strategy now

Need Perez to make a blinding start

Luckily he was already social distancing from the rest of the field on track.

Haas are so desperate for the season to be over. Will their gamble to focus on 2022 pay off?

Would it be too much to expect an F2 driver to fill in after their race ?

i assumed pietro would just step in again

Someone on Reddit said that for a reserve driver to be eligible to race, they have to have completed a practice or quali session over the weekend.

A wonderful qualifying lap by Max - He will aim to get away fast and build up a buffer before switching tyres - Can he make a one stopper work ?

It's an official rule that disallows it

Rule 26.1: Changes may be made at any time before the start of the qualifying practice session provided any change proposed less than 18 hours before the scheduled start of P1 receives the consent of the stewards.

Oscar wins it in style. Ok no need to watch the rest of the race meeting. Not hoping for any misadventures for any driver but you never know for 2022. So we must wait for Alonso to call it quits again!!

Weird, and creepy, and why wasn't he singing to Mazepin?

Good insights by Rosberg about the incidents involving Max and Lewis, all dismissed out of hand by Brundle because Nico was critical of Lewis on a couple of the incidences.

****ing Pommy flogs.

The two best of all time, at the lowest point of their relationship.

The tension is palpable. Biggest race in a long time for the sport.

I can't see how Hamilton loses this outside of being knocked out.

Karun trying to get him to blame Max for Silverstone despite Nico continually saying Max did nothing wrong was hilarious.

 

[DamoESP]

Kimi's last race, BOT last race at Merc, last race for this generation of cars, Max and HAM WDC battle going down to the wire.

This should be a stonker of a season finisher, up there with 2012 and 2016 from recent years.

 

[k31th]

Seems like all of the celebs on the track at the moment are actually pumped to be there, for a change.

Sky pump up Lewis' tyres all year so it's a bit of a shock to their system when someone has a different point of view to them and questions Lewis' actions. Refreshing to hear.

Nico and Jenson need to be permanents at every race next year

I thought it would've been hilarious if all of the drivers had gone off for a shit while they did that presentation for Kimi's last race
