    Which would change.......nothing.

    I take it you don’t watch the races? Just that the people who witter on about how boring it is tend to be the same people who say “I don’t watch it any more because it’s so boring”.

    No I still watch it - but I'm nearly as boring as it is

    Really wish fast laps carried over from one qualifying session to another, because the Q2 lap Verstappen just put in is ludicrous.

    Edit: never mind, he did it again in Q3. That new engine has a bit to it.

    If they penalize Verstappen simply for being, F1 can get ****ed. Where else should he have been with Bottas flying behind him?

    This rendition of the Mexican anthem is quite painful.

    Max for the win today. Lewis wins championship with 4th.

    (Unless Max & Seb take one another out at the start).

    I cannot believe that Hamilton went for that.

    Hamilton decided to go three wide into turn 1, and Verstappen/Vettel/Hamilton got into a nutty two-corner scrap that ended with Vettel and Hamilton making contact. Vettel lost a wing, Hamilton lost a tire.

    This season would be entirely different if RBR had their new "experimental" engine from the word go. Verstappen's flying.

    That...doesn't make a lot of sense. That effectively ended any (minimal) chance Vettel had of winning the driver's championship, as he has next to no chance of getting into the top two.

    Only thing i’d question - he’d already lost a big chunk of front wing against Max, so I do wonder if he knew he needed a wing change anyhow, but thought sod it let’s clip Lewis too. I very much doubt it, but it would be a real Schumacher type move!

    Think Hamilton got checked up a bit when Verstappen cut him off, and Vettel was too close behind him to avoid contact. Just the natural consequence of everyone deciding to throw caution to the wind.

    Verstappen's 10 seconds clear, and still drifting curbs. Not much for dialing it back, that one.

    Edit: and now laughing at his team when they tell him he's going too fast. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Someone help a drunken pal out with permutations... Probs @Le Tissier's Laces

    Assuming vettel finishes 4th or 5th, what does Lewis need to confirm it tonight?
