Oscar might be in trouble, was a bit to close for comfort with Pierre
By markao Go To PostOscar no penalty and the most important battle of the season doneTsunoda beat Riccardo 4-3 in qualifying. Lots of people predicted Daniel to come in and dominate Yuki.
By Vini.lad Go To PostDaniel is finished, has been for a long time. He's only here cause he's a PR machine.Yuki error prone but is far to fast for DannyRic to come in and quickly beat him. But if rumours about two big American sponsors for next season are through, worth all the money for AT.
One more time, hope no Max lead and behind him hard to tell with so few longrun laps. Would say McLaren,Mercedes and than Ferrari but that depends a little on which tire will be hurt more (rear/front)
Leclerc will never beat Max
If there was the opposite, Max would have dived into turn 1, Leclerc too nice

By Vini.lad Go To PostRussell flyingHope he did not push to hard early on, has a tendency to do that
Lando catching George and tires already to hot?
Oscar still lot to learn about tire management in coming years, has his single lap pace covered.

@ vini holding up George
Smart Charles, just had to do lap earlier so he could hold up more?
Or enough

By Vini.lad Go To PostLeclerc problem?He is giving Perez a 5 second difference to Russell so Ferrari gets second in the constructors.
Max and RBR mega year!!
Never seen anything as relentless as this, not even the Schumi years. Every lap from first in FP1 on it and no matter what conditions or what they threw at him, always an answer.
Sergio race, sums up season always something not 100%
Charles hopefully next year better race car, on all tire sets and all tracks.
George better this weekend, Lewis just not on it shown by dumb error last lap. Mercedes need to make a big step with new concept
McLaren did catch up after Austria, expected bit better race pace here. Lando still well ahead of Oscars race pace, have the aero time over others to do something good next season.
Fernando p4!! Aston started well, but lost plot in the middle.
AT throwing away better result, Yuki had pace to beat Alonso, strategy threw that away. Unlucky with DannyRic early forced stop, that might have been enough to catch Williams.
Hopefully next year the others closer to Max, racing behind him was top this year.

One of the worst seasons in all time in the competitiveness side of things, Max destroyed everyone. Hope the other teams wake the fuck up.

As much as I know how not fun this was for a lot of people. Damn what a season lads. Once the Max train was rolling properly I was just curious to see where it would end. Another season like this wouldn't be good for the sport. But I'm pretty happy to have been around to experience this season. Pure filth this level of domination.
And now we wait till winter testing.

Bit embarrassing performance by Magnussen this season.
winning 74% of the last 50 races :insane:
And if RBR20 has a good first7/8 races, it might get even higher.

Obviously it helps that cars are more reliable these days. But the combination of team, car and driver has been improved upon by RB till perfection. Pretty insane how good they are currently
