RedBull was just too strong. It was making four tenths on the straight quite easily and was better on its softer tyres too. Nothing Lewis nor even Charles could have done. If there weren't any saftey car nor error from mechanics this race would have been walked by 30 seconds quite easily.

Congrats to Max on his way to sixteen wins in a season.

Do you think Horner had to do the "Max you are world champion" radio call for the sake of DTS? Seemed to odd and forced since we know he's already WDC. Noticed they also seem to be celebrating like Max just won the WDC. I wonder if in DTS they'll make this the race where he wins the WDC.
The constructors is quite a big one for the team too. First one in 8 years.
Big one but with a big asterisk, they allegedly cheated and breached the cost cap but I hope they can make it cleaner next year without all the controversies.
Dont see any asterisk's on any of the official documentations.

Repetitive record is boring now.
Mess with the Bull - you get the horns.

I detest the Sky commentary - highly Hamilton biased.

We actually had a race, rather than a procession.

Multiple solid drives in the midfield. Norris and Vettel drove superbly.
Brits like Brits. No surprises there.

It was a race - because it wasn't just Max out in front like so many times this year.

There was some great driving in the field - there often is but we don't see it thanks to the TV director. Seb at the end was vintage Seb. =D> =D> =D>

I’m okay with you supporting cheaters, great win for Max and they’ll get a slap on the wrist. Still to be determined.

Agree. Since switching to F1TV, you realise just how bad the Sky commentary actually is.

Was a superb race, would have been a bit better without the safety cars though IMHO.

I think it just shows how much they leave in the car before they open the taps in situations like that.

I heard GP mention strat 9 and strat 10 over the radio and knew it would be game on and they unleashed the bulls to chase down the win.

C'mon Chris!
He is just, as you do, stating his opinion.

Back to topic.
Great race. Lot's of hard driving.
Max had to fight, Lewis tryed but fell short, Norris's last stint was wow. Seb did "younger, hungry Seb" .
Old fox Alonso evaded an scored.
This race definitly was not boring.
If flying were the language of man, soaring would be its poetry.
It's all about technology!
When you go fast, do not hesitate to go faster!

Yes it is the commentary is annoying, Max closed the gap and overtook , but what else was to be expected it is just a better car and driver.
But on sky they keep making drama about everything and since they have the rights they haved ruined races
