Smooooooth operator.


Great race. Love end of the season races when they are allowed to race.


HAM looked like he knew the penalty was coming.

Merc looks like they hired the Ferrari strategist. I mean, wtf.

Everyone will blame Vettel for the contact but it looked like elbows out racing to me. Very similar to what Charles did to Lando on the first lap. Just hard racing to me.


I would assign equal blame there. Especially being teammates. Vettel drifted back towards him, Leclerc stood his ground and lost 3rd place in the drivers championship. Noble.

Looks like that Ferrari pace was missing again.

Just watched the highlights. Ferrari looked like a 3rd tier team. I don't think Vettel will be there next year.

Poor Albon. Hamilton is a bitch. Great season for Max. He's clearly the best driver out there. Might have to suit him up in some red next year.

Ferrari dynamic will be toxic next year. Shocking if either driver leaves. Max isn't going to ferrari anytime soon. He would he crazy to.

Max looked in great form, Albon was just as impressive to me. He was a pretty good lock for 2nd.

Vettel hasn't been acting like a guy who thinks he's going to be around next year. We'll see. F1 is crazy. I could definitely see Max at Ferrari next year.

Max has a contract. Not saying it can't be broken, but VET/HAM/VER all have contracts up at the end of next season. VET might be gone after that, or just go somewhere that isn't Ferrari.

Unless VET and VER swap places, which again, in my opinion, would be a bad idea for VER. RBR has a better chance of challenging Merc next year as well as with the aero redesign and Honda gains.

All the driver line-ups are confirmed, so not sure why y’all think Vettel won’t be in a Ferrari next year.

The Vettel-Leclerc rivalry next year is going to rival Hamilton-Rosberg from a few years ago, maybe even more contentious

Yeah, except they'll be battling for fifth. If Vettel is still there and brings the same bitch attitude with him next year, I'll just sit out until he really is gone.

Only one more race, so sad about that. Minus the early season Merc domination has been a very good year for F1 IMO.

The retirement rumors around Vettel have quieted down recently, but his year has been full of stupid mistakes and a sad clown attitude.

He went from thinking he was a title contender at the beginning of the season to effectively being relegated behind LeClerc. He also likely won't have a championship winning car again next season.

I personally think he'll be back, but I get why people still think he could decide to throw in the towel after Abu Dhabi.

To his credit he admitted it was his fault in the post race.

Multiple times. And went to Albon in the paddock to apologize before his interview.

Didn't even go to the stewards and try to defend what he did, just took the penalty because he knew he was wrong.

If Binotto has problems now with Vettel and LeClerc, he should be terrified of a LeClerc / Verstappen pairing with Ferrari. I think they would kill each other.

And with Ferrari’s constant strategy screw ups, those two would probably kill Binotto first.

I just want to see VER have a car that will allow him to be competitive throughout the season.

I cant believe Gasly put a fricking Toro Rosso on the podium. I know hes confirmed with STR for 2020 but I wonder if he might find himself back in a competitive car soon.

I don’t think Verstappen ever goes to Ferrari.
