The 'got it right at last' Abu Dhabi Grand Prix chat & prediction

Carlos silly for bringing it back onto the circuit. Should have stayed on the grass with a wheel loose.

Sainz, DoD for not blocking the tunnel

 

[TopClass]

Atrocious Grand Prix is this. What a crap way to end a season.

We all need to pray that Renault build a competitive PU next season or it will be 5th season in a row where we are watching paint dry

Oh, and another year of Kimi Raikonnen.

Stroll had a good battle with the Hass but not an exciting race. I was hoping everyone would run engines at max.

Maybe they are. Perhaps that’s the problem as you see the true power discrepancies.

will Verstappen pit to get LR?

Good drive Bottas

 

[Big Ern]

Bit of a boring race. Alonso v Massa was decent, and the back of the pack race looked like it could be interesting, Wehrlein should've let K Mag beat him to the DRS line.

I fell asleep

once you realised Hamilton had lost?


well, Jasper's happy, and, after sifting through the post poll closure, Eddie seems to have gone for Bottas too.

Thanks Ern.

I don’t think Bottas will win either, it’s a tactical vote with an eye on the prediction championship. No point in voting the same way as everyone else.

Bottas just needs Hamilton to be as good as his word about getting Merc a 1-2 and being happy to finish 2nd. Admittedly that could quickly evaporate but he might help protect Bottas from Vettel to ensure 2nd in the championship for him. He can do that best by staying in 2nd and letting Bottas win.

Woohoo! Didn’t know if my vote had registered.

Channel 4 seem to be having lots of digs at Ferrari for not talking to them!!!
I think C4 should be talking to some of the other teams, seems like they just talk to Merc, and Red Bull. OK so I know they are the top teams but I would like to hear from more of the teams.

 

[Big Ern]

Woohoo! Didn’t know if my vote had registered.

yeah, but Bando is Charlie Whiting.

 

[El_Bando]

yeah, but Bando is Charlie Whiting.

True... I wasn' paying attention

 

[eddie_squidd]

yeah, but Bando is Charlie Whiting.

I’m always saying what a lovely chap Charlie Whiting is.

A fairly fitting end to a mediocre season at best. The season had some potential that just never really showed up and just fizzled out by the end.

Here's hoping that we get an on-track championship fight next season. Next!

Does anyone know if F1 is on channel 4 at all next season? I know it's live only on Sky but is highlights on normal TV later?

I think they have the same deal next year, it's after that, 2019, that sky have sole rights.

At first glance Vandoorne seems hardest done by, but Hartley being 4th worst after the fewest GP's says a lot about Renault
