I am so stressed! Oh the relief, the Champion Overtake on lap one really added tension to what probably should have been a 1-2 finish and a boring race. I'd happily take a boring race thanks if it meant cursing to the WCC. So much bad luck this season - Bottas had no luck all year, Oscar was royally screwed over, Gasly deserved better and really starred in the second half. Lawson outclassed his more experienced teammate today and it was for nothing - and probably nobody will remember his drive.
Finally, now we have the title and there's no hint of sour grapes - the current FIA since Todt retired is rubbish. Now His Majesty is attempting a power grab and everyone who disagrees is fired. The 2026 regulation changes will destroy the level playing field so it will be back to likely domination. Oh well..... Let's enjoy it while we have it.
Who knows. Maybe Mclaren will understand the regulations better to dominate.
Congratulations ! been following this sport for 25 years and I think I can't remember such a strong comeback, in 18 months they did a hell of a job, and this WCC is truly deserved.
I'm sure Lando will be in a much better position to fight for the WDC next year.
WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS BOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS FINALLYY BABY AFTER 26 F***** years !!!! Mclaaren is back!!!!!!!!
Wow what a race, my heart was pumping like crazy from start to finish, the bastard VER again proved he is a joke of a person, he thinks he is Senna, but Senna did it with a style, not with a childish cry (THIS IS MY TOY NOT YOURS) behavior, F-YOU VER..... Solid recovery from PIA, the 10 seconds penalty was a joke, FIA keep trying to artificially enhance the ''show'' but it did not work, NORIS was superb from 1 lap to the finish.
I want to congratulate of all of man & women of Mclaren, all of you guys who are loyal fans to the team and for never loosing hope that as Ron said, WE WILL WIN AGAIN.
I want to thank ZAK BROWN, for turning this team around and delivering on his promise for us to fight for championship by 2025 and he and Andrea Stella delivered the same but one year earlier .
I hope the team will grow even more next year, and all of the mistakes of this year will serve as a learning curve.

What a year guys, what a journey since 2012 when we were last competitive ..... what a journey since 1998
A championship that is dedicated to those that think they know everything. To those that used every dirty trick in the book to stop a well deserved winning team. To those that used every single pitiful excuse because they were losing fair and square. Mclaren-Mercedes the Customer Champion covered a 100 points decifit to Red Bull and 60 points deficit to Ferrari and left the second 16 points behind and the first more than 50 behind. Onwards for the double next year.
could be a fun season next year if Mclaren, Ferrari, Mercedes can put pressure on Max from day one. Enjoy the win everyone - enjoy the racing - it is entertainment at the end of the day
