Can we say Karma? :wink:
Completely.
I’d say so.
lol
shame on them for demanding justice when stewards constantly fail to do that when some drivers are in question #-o

I've been on and off for the last several years due to various reasons, but what I observed at the front of the grid with most drivers taking a knee was the last straw for me.

Best of luck to everyone here, firm handshakes and as the saying goes "Get woke, go broke" nothing meaningful but simple virtue signalling at the front of the grid today.

I don't agree and disavow "real" racism, but what I just observed was just a hollow sh*t show.

Cheers
Stop worrying. Average viewers dont care that much about the drivers. I didn't even know drivers took knees or not. And i dont really care about the individual drivers. As long as awareness is made it is a good effort.

Season over, congratulations Hamilton on your 7th* WDC, and Mercedes on your 6th straight WCC.
Um, Bottas is currently leading the race. He'll win because he'll get the pit stop strategy. Then he'll go in to the next race as the title leader. If he can keep that up, he can win the title.

At least the Ferrari PU is reliable. So far.

Someone’s in the gravel in S3. The stewards better prepare for another crying phone call from RedBull.
Come on this is just silly. RB protested a contestable steward decision, and rightfully so.

Good thing is that max decently managed to keep up with bottas despite harder tires, so it could have been a nice duel. Unfortunately it won't be, but such is F1. Shame, hopefully a more exiting race next time.

That Renault sounds AWFUL

And Hamilton is EATING up the distance between himself and Bottas.

Has Bottas got an issue?

Damn, just as things started to spice up at the front, we have a safety car ruining things...
Not for nothing, Rosberg's Championship is the only thing that lends credibility to Hamilton's recent success. Otherwise, he'd just be the guy who's had the best car. — bhall II

Reliability costing teams :( I know it's a luxury of the modern era but I quite like cars not falling apart regularly.

Bottas it coasting. He's got priority on pit stops so why not save the car until Hamilton gets close.

Shame Albon has been hobbled with slower aero. Hopefully he can hang on and get a podium though. Third would be an excellent result.

Safety car has given Bottas the win. Hamilton will be told to hold station, I reckon.

No they went crying to teacher. It was obvious that it was going to finish a Mercedes 1-2 anyway. RedBull were just being their usual stamping feet teenagers again. Karma nicely bit them in the backside though.

Bottas has never been a match for Hamilton and he’ll be no match this season either. If Mercedes is that dominantly fast, which they currently are, Hamilton has no other opponents.
