Formula 1 Round 22 Abu Dhabi GP

I like this.

I've some class memories from Honda in F1. I only knew them from the odd little Honda 600 that my neighbour had. Suddenly they were in Formula 1, the high point the McLaren MP 4/4 with that Marlboro livery. I won't forget them either way.

It was one next to the other

The key word there is "The Sun" . He will definitely try again for 8

It s at least a bit about him being English and the general Irish revulsion to the as sucking the English media partake in with sports people. Well it is that for me at least

Yeah you'd have to say after Max he's been the standout driver of the season. Really great performance from him today. If Ferrari get their act together he'll be a force to be reckoned with in the coming years.

What an incredible and well deserved win for Max. Hamilton and mercedes had the better car, they've amassed huge experience winning multiple championships so its a massive upset against the odds for verstappen and red bull.

I couldnt believe the anti max and anti red bull media commentary all week. Portraying max as some sort of crazed driver who would "do anything to win". The media even speculated that hamilton would still be awarded the championship if there happened to be a collision between him and max.

Still cant get over the english media bias and vitriol towards max and red bull. They chose instead to support a german team over a team led by one of their own - christian horner. Who is a total class act as evidenced by his interview with sky after the race. Did everyone notice how damon hill stepped out of that segment? He couldnt even bring himself to congratulate horner live on air. What a bitter person hill is.

Well done max.

Merc had the best car over the season but Verstappen was the best driver, Verstappen had that RB on its absolute limits this season

When all the Sky hype settles down, I think this has done more damage than good for selling the sport to non-aficionados. I know quite a few obsessed F1-ers and they can't understand the two bad calls today, both against the actual rules of the sport. They won't stop watching and/or attending, but people like me won't bother as the rulebook is just so randomly applied.

Delighted Max won. Standing alone with 8 drivers championships, is something Hamilton didn't/doesn't desere

Toto looks fairly unhinged here. I think Merc as a team seem to have some feelings of being entitled to win. It was mentioned on sky earlier that the QC "just happened" to be at the race conveniently, he was the same guy who got Merc a sweet deal after a secret Pirelli tyre test in 2013 was uncovered. I would say he was there in case there was race ending contact between Max and Lewis and Merc would throw everything at the stewards

I will go back to the Baku race when Max had his tyre blowout. Weakley went on the radio to Masi and suggested a red flag to allow everyone change tyres. Mark Webber immediately on comms said that was a very "fair call".

No other team ranted about Merc/LH getting lucky at Imola and finishing 2nd as a result of that luck. Toto made a complete fool of himself today and came across like a spoilt brat.

Russell will put it upto Hamilton next year. Which will be spicy.
