Get the frick outta here with that Hamilton podium marker.

He's switching teams, he's not retiring.

I think the last time the Drivers Champion’s team finished 3rd or worse in the Constructors Championship was in 1983

Just catching up.

Max is a dick.
Checo sucks.
Ferrari has no balls.
Norris smoked everyone.
Piastri is an iceman.

Let the silly season begin. What teams still.need drivers? Aren't there a couple spots still open?

Think about this...

Max was essentially RB for the Constuctor's (Perez's contribution to ponts was negligible) and he didn't have the best (or even second best) car for most of the second half of the season.

The silly season is actually the long break in the middle of the season. At least, it used to be.

Just finished watching the race after seeing the first half earlier this morning.

Good ending to the season.
Crazy how much Leclerc and Hamilton improved from qualifying.
I’m sure they’ll be good next year together but still feel bad for Sainz.
Happy Max paid the price for driving so aggressively.
Checo is embarrassing.

Tsunoda was racy, especially compared to Lawson.
Sainz should be in the Red Bull. They dropped the frick out of that ball.

Despite the uncertainty over the 2nd Red Bull seat, actually Liam Lawson is the only guy without a contract for next year. Red Bull has left Liam hanging on whether he's going to be on the grid at all.

formula1.com/en/latest/article/lawson-reveals-hell-know-about-his-future-next-week-as-he-claims-he-feels

Red Bull is expected to announce Liam's and Checo's fates just after the Abu Dhabi young driver and Pirelli tire test sessions.

Yuki Tsunoda is scheduled to drive the Red Bull, while Liam will just be driving the VCARB. The common wisdom is that giving Yuki seat time in the Red Bull is only to appease Honda, and that Liam is still favored to get the Red Bull seat, despite being outqualified for every GP race this year by Yuki, and Yuki outscoring him 8-4, not to mention Liam's lack of F1 experience. Also note that Yuki outscored Danny Ric 22-12. So he scored about double the totals of both of his teammates this year, but he's still not good enough.

He really does deserve it if they’re picking from within the team already.

Ferrari should have put softs/mediums back on sainzs car. He wasn't catching Norris. Leclerc had a great race.

Ferrari must have been praying for a SC. Once it got within ten to twelve laps from the end it was pointless to make the change.

Scared to have their drivers so close together?

Yes, it probably doesn't make a difference, the point would be to just try something.

Hamilton tracked down Russell at the end with his mediums vs hards.

It's not like it would have lost them the constructors or anything really.

I know it. Wish they could have done something. Amazing they finished P2 P3. Those two teams should be super competitive next year.
Can’t wait to see it.
