then why you re asking mate?

I think what we forget in the first place is that they are teammates! Such things shouldn't be happening, especially in the end of the season, when you have nothing to gain from it. Leclrec was clearly faster, because he was on a fresher tyre. Even if Vettel got ahead of him on that straight, I'm 95% sure, Leclerc would be infront again in a lap or two. For me persionally, Vettel's move was pure selfishness!

Did anybody else catch the very aggressive flick Leclerc made at Norris in the first lap, while he was a similar distance in front of Norris to what Vettel was in front of him? Kinda funny given how his race ended. Norris obviously moved over very quickly.

Superb reaction from Norris from a threatening Lec as if he's throwing a punch and he couldn't even give an inch more to Vet when he was passing, he had all the time in the world there to take in that the rear wheel is wider than the front.

When was the last time we had a podium with no Ferrari or Merc? I'm going to forget VET-LEC and HAM-ALB and celebrate that instead. Two RB rejects sharing the podium with RedBull's baby.

Ferrari certainly painted themselves in a corner. They gave Vettel a long term contract that they now desperately regret because it hasn't won them a championship and they now have a 2nd driver who they presumably think is their future, but can't work well with Vettel. I suspect that if Kimi was still the number 2 there they wouldn't have problems between their drivers, but they still might not win because Vettel is clearly not able to walk the fine line between aggression and recklessness and Leclerc isn't going to give him any slack. They should either have kept Kimi or got rid of Vettel. I don't see how they can go forward with Vettel and LeClerc.

For the moment it looks really good for Red Bull .But everything depends from the Honda power source in 2020 ...
Anyway very impressive results from Honda in their first season !
If MAX can fight for the worldtitle in 2020 . I'm pretty sure he will stay at Red Bull .
If not ....It's Mercedes for MAX.

The Honda topspeed is finally improved , that's what we saw yesterday . This means keep an eye on MAX in Abu Dhabi....
He's not done yet....

[///M Power-Belgium]

Well...That was really nice from Lewis

[///M Power-Belgium]

New world record pitstop for MAX in 1.82 seconds !!!

They're cheating then 😜 Honda is doing great. That GAS/HAM drag race proved it.

Negative . FIA’s latest directives have put Mercedes and Ferrari on a leash.
Of course that's pure speculation...

Honda don't have to tell us what they did to engine if cleared by FIA and why would anyone want to. Keep the others guessing.

Vettel is on $35m or more from Ferrari and advertising payouts also? while Lec is on $3.5m so you see why Vet can't let Lec get the upper hand. Would you..

WTF are you talking about: Honda’s first season. Do you not remember the untold number of blown up engines during the two years they were (so called) powering the McLarens?

[thebishman]

Ferrari should have issued team orders for Vettel not to pass LeClerc. After all, wasn’t LeClerc fighting for 3rd in the WDC until this result?

RB Honda got for the first time in this season a new fuel mixture, specific developed for the Honda spec-4 engine .
According the latest experiments : It smells like strawberries and makes a warp-speed ...!

Last weekend Lewis saw it twice during the race !
