The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix turned out to be a tyre management race which Max Verstappen easily controlled to take victory and finish the season on a high. Charles Leclerc made a single-stop strategy work and finished second, just ahead of Sergio Perez.

Are you seriously going to deny that sausage curbs break cars?
It was closer than expected unfortunately. A lot of things didn't go Checo's way.
He like to play the villain.
Imagine they put a hole in their pockets to come and boo him and he takes away millions.
He has not lost his race pace which is his strong point since 2017.harty71 wrote: ↑20 Nov 2022, 16:46No bias, just calling it like it is.Tiny73 wrote: ↑20 Nov 2022, 16:43Your bias and ignorance shows through on every single post.

No, in all seriousness, how on earth did he manage to wreck his tyres so fast after passing Sainz, never seen anything like it from him before, he's really struggled this season.
He fried his tyres for one reason or another which is very unusual and disappointing from him.
His pace and consistency on the hards showed that he finally got his act together.
That's his season down to a tee, messy and inconsistent with times of promise.
Idk what happened on the first stint honestly, but I don't think you are right. Most of the season he had better tyre management than Russell, and he was very impressive on the Hards today, in France, at Silverstone, and in Spain.harty71 wrote: ↑20 Nov 2022, 16:50He appears to have lost some of his tyre management skills, just look at the first stint.Spoutnik wrote: ↑20 Nov 2022, 16:48He has not lost his race pace which is his strong point since 2017.harty71 wrote: ↑20 Nov 2022, 16:46

He even beat Russell on qualy (despite the fugazi of Hungary etc)
He mad much stronger pace than the Ferrari's, passed Sainz after letting him back through and within a lap his tyres were toast, that much so he was eaten up by Russell and fell a further 3 seconds behind.
