It's advantage Hamilton. Max is starting on the wrong tire. Towards the end of the race Lewis will catch him and pass. I just don't see max holding him off with his older power unit. But who knows. We will see tomorrow.

Horner said that Red Bull have been experimenting again with fuel loads.

For sure… Perez gave max a tow.

Exactly, kinda hard to hate someone you don't know

Bottas qualifying so low down the grid is interesting.

Maybe he doesn’t want to get involved in the title and it was a final one finger salute to Merc

Or

Merc plans to keep Bottas to go long with enough straight line speed to slow Max after his first pit?


Hammy gets Abu Dhabi tuned exhaust for rocket ship. Bottas gets a new gearbox.

Hopefully Hammy doesn’t try to Silverstone Max again and we have a good race.

Hammy quote after the race: “this title is closely contested and I was giving it my all, I had a hard time getting the temp in the medium tires and I tried my best to race fair. Fans have supported me all year and Max has always raced me hard. He did a good job this year but we [MERC] did better in the second half of the season. I couldn’t have done it without the fans’ support. Thank you to my fans and my team. This means so much to me, something I trained my whole life for!”

This means Toto called him not to intervene in the start although he is on the faster red tyres.....

Any self respecting race car driver looks at his own performance and results first and not at battles that others do with eachother.
Can you imagine in the past drivers like Senna or Schumacher saying this?!?

Lando may be the least emotionally mature member of the grid. Stroll may give him a run for his money.

Check this out my friend !!!
You "REALLY" should read this , in Dutch => https://www.gptoday.net/nl/nieuws/f1...r-in-abu-dhabi

In short :
HONDA Japan and Red Bull Powertrains have for this last race of the season refurbished MAX's HONDA PU .
Currently It's still unclear if it is MAX's spec. 3 or 4 HONDA PU , but everything went according the FIA regulations .

Interesting fact is that HAM and MAX ran today during the QF's with the PU's at 120 % !
It's very clear that MAX's refurbished HONDA PU is the antidote for HAM's ROCKETSHIP !
On the other hand : MAX was forced to run with softs and a tow to beat HAM , that's how fast HAM's Rocketship really is !

It’s likely the other way around. Hammy’s best shot at 8WDC is this year. He doesn’t want to go out losing in the hybrid era. Toto echos this for his team.

Max just started his career.

And because HAM has multiple times blamed his team when he wasn't as fast as he should have been.
And because HAM decided to sue a watch company named Hamilton (existing for over 130 years under that name I kid you not....) because his name is also Hamilton...(that to me is pretty much the summum of megalomania....). Obviously he lost, the judges weren't impressed....

Based on the data, acceleration in the straights was much closer today than it has been over the last 6 races. Maybe Merc started the refurbishment process post Silverstone and RBR finally got wise to it and replicated it for their PUs.

Bottas being Bottas. He's flamed out.

Other than Max's GB DNF, he's finished ahead of / taken points away from VER once this year? Lame given the equipment.

Merc should have put RUS in the car at some point this season to help HAM secure the championship. Give him a head start on next year, with the directive you're racing VER not HAM.

That can’t be true, no way.
