    Of course . How will it go down if Max beats Bottas to second place in the championship?

    Hamilton desperate to race this week. Can’t have GR showing just how much of Hamilton’s “greatness” is down to the car.

    Poor old Bottas never got the memo that it's all just about the car. Should we tell him or just have a giggle when he finds out?

    I think GR’s greatness is down to GR. Think he’s just any old driver?

    I've got a horrible feeling this is going to be a dull end to the season.

    Nothing to suggest it will be other than a bore fest at this stage.

    Very handy that riccy started on hards. So he has done 13 laps more than front 4. So they will keep eyes on him towards the end.

    Is it my imagination or is amazon aws stats naff?
    At about lap 20 they said pit window open for mediums but they had safety which changed things.
    Then clc came in to pit and stats said fronts 50% left and rears 30% left same as Seb yet clc was getting overtaken by everyone yet Seb is looking good.
    The aws stats are just naff....

    Riccy 40 laps on hards so top 3 should be able to do 35 laps and lower fuel weight.
    Correction I think top 3 have done more laps than I thought.
    Think they might have to pit some of them

    This track is absolutely woeful.

    Terrible way to end an F1 season and a rethink is in order IMO.

    It’s not good from Albon again is it. The Mercs are turned down and he’s still nowhere near.
