Norris disappointment me badly today with his post race comments. He went like George deserved to win today. One of the most silly things one could have said. Showed what a poor loser he is. and yeah, he's still one of my favorite drivers. but not one of fav persons.

This race was really for the WDC. I mean it had the potential to be <30 points for the last 3 races which would have been really uncomfortable. And then he ended up with a >60 points win. It is a huge swing and extremely stressful to watch, but what a drive.

Max was just perfect in every moment of the race. He did an awesome first lap, was patient behind Leclerc, even knew when to back down behind Ocon, was blistering fast when in free air, did lot of long dive overtakes and did not make a single mistake under these difficult circumstances.

From now he just need to score ~22 points during 3 races and 1 sprints. That seems doable, even with a DNF.

I think the antics will also come down after this race with a comfortable gap. Max will not mess around with Norris after this. Norris and the rest of the grid just aren't ready for Verstappen in similar cars. It'll always be a landslide win.

With a 62 point gap (still sub judice due to Mercedes pressures), Max can win the title in Vegas if he doesn't lose more than 2 points from Lando.

It’s always been doable.
I knew Verstappen had another full Grand Prix win in him. He’s always qualifying near the front and is a threat in the sprints.
He drove a great race today.
Just a fan's point of view

Yeah, Now is just a cruise to the WDC. Lando win and FL in the last 3 races and Max just has to finish 8th and he's sealed it. Of course, Max will finish higher than that.

Only let down over this triple header was the Mexico antics.
Mess with the Bull - you get the horns.

Yes, but the outrage was insane since the USGP. Max maximized the points except potentially at Mexico but such a great season really. Well deserved (still lots can happen but yeah) 4th title I assume =D> =D>

Looking back again, cant believe what happened. Max started P17 blasted through the field and then won by 20 seconds. We were finally a little bit lucky with the red flag and we could change the tyres. No words, I will sleep well now for 3 weeks. Now just bring it home please. Couldnt wish for a better birthday gift. Thank you.

Max in the rain is on the same level as Senna, Schumacher were. Also I am thinking if the race was dry, it would have been an easy 1-2 for Mclaren, with Verstappen probably around fourth place.

The race was moved forward wasn't it? No rush to the airport. I guess they just didn't want to face the music.
