    Excited for this race, sounds like every racer loves this track.

    Barring a complete meltdown on Mercedes' part, looks like Vettel doesn't stand a chance to win the championship after this last round.

    Vettel lost championship hope at Germany.

    I will be pulling for a Vettel WDC until it becomes mathematically impossible.

    If Vettel gets 1st in the last 5 races, all Hamilton has to do is get 3rd in all those as well. I wish it weren't so but it looks like a tall order for the German

    A couple DNFs would mix things up.

    Kimi must do the needful.

    Ferrari has punted the laggard Kimi, deservedly so. He has no interest assisting the Thug Vettel, who has made too many mistakes. When they had the outright superior car, he underperformed.

    I'm pulling for Kimi to win the WDC. Mathematically, it's still possible.

    I’m ready for Verstappen to get a strong Honda lump and run Ham and Vet into the weeds.

    Great win by the Legend. The Thug again up to no good. First screwing up qualy then playing bumper cars with Max.

    No mention of Max’s completely avoidable crash into Kimi where he thought Kimi would slow down and allow him space to return to the track on lap 1?

    Like Max said, laggard Kimi chose the wrong line. The incident actually helped the Thug get past Kimi, then in his red mist, went for a gap that did not exist behind Max and ended up back of the grid. It was quite satisfying to watch. Useless Ferrari drivers. Hopefully Leclerc can put the Thug in his place next year.

    clearly the stewards agree with your assessment, which is why they handed Max a five second penalty.

    The gap was there until it wasn’t. I personally don’t mind watching a driver race for the championship instead of having it handed to them. To each his own, I guess.

    Perhaps. Its fascinating how the Thugs mistakes this season are being ignored by some. Anyways, i expect the Legend to perform as usual and bring it home.

    Perhaps? No, I will definitely be at T1.


    Which mistakes are being ignored? Do you think it has been a fun season for Vettel fans?

    Max ought to shut his mouth and show the stewards some respect once in a while instead of trash talking every decision they make against him. Yeah, Kimi will just stop and wait for you to come back on the track, no worries.
