I don’t think I’ve been this excited to see the last race of the season in the 40+ years I’ve been an F1 fan. My hope is for Max but my money is on Lewis.

Differing tire strategies make this interesting. Ham can drive the snot out of meds, and the softs are supposed to wear well, too. All I can say is Bottas needs to be a good #2 for Merc, and get into podium position. Then they can seal the WCC.

Bottas performs the perfect #2 role. Perez has not done well that for Max.

Battle of the back markers ......... Mazepin tested positive for Covid and won't be starting the race . Will test driver Fittipaldi start the race instead ?

Interesting call by the stewards regarding Max/Lewis . I have to say I am puzzled by their call .

I think Lewis should have to give the spot back. VER was ahead in the race to the apex at that point.

I think we’re agreed that Max would take out Lewis to win the championship. But would Checo be willing to do that, too?

It's over already LH wins.

LH on mediums is running away from Max on softs.

But now Max pits for tires on the VSC, and Lewis doesn’t...

This where the LH luck comes in. He'll make his tire last.

I thought Max would catch Lewis. 18 or 19 laps, 13-second gap. I thought he could do it. But Lewis making his tires last.

But wait, Latifi crash is going to bring out safety car!

And Hamilton doesn’t pit, yet Max does!

How many laps will this take to clean up?

Wow, what a finish! Congrats to the champion!

Wow!

WOW is right!

Nuts!

Very interesting finish , congrats to the world champion 🏆

Not the way I saw it going.
I wonder if Mercedes puts out a contract on Latifi.

Here's looking forward to 2022

It doesn’t feel like a clean finish. Crazy.

Yeah, ironic a Mercedes-powered Williams torpedoed #8 for Lewis.
