How the hell did Bottas wind up in that position?

 

could've been a Ferrari 1 2.

 

Woo Kimi!!

 

Easily. Kimi wasn't even on the ideal strategy.

Made up for him though

 

Had Merc burned Hamilton's second set of tires, then pit him, they'd have won that. Blew it.

 

A question;

Why did Pirelli change the tyre pressures before the race? When all teams practised on different pressures? Doesn’t make sense...

 

yeah, excellent race from him, killing Hamilton's chance of the one stop won him the race, hemped somewhat by Mercedes inability to react to Hamilton's tyres being ****ed.

 

Well Done @Number 1 Jasper

 

I've been wanting Kimi out of Ferrari for years, but it is nice to see him get one.

 

Lovely to see Kimi win one more time!

 

Also has there ever been a more bumbling attempt at a title challenge than Seb this year?

How many mistakes is it now? I'm genuinely losing count.

 

Best bet would have been for Hamilton to hold back until Kimi pit, then cane that second set in clear air. Pit back to P1 and win, but Merc apparently don't do strat.

 

Kimi deserved that win and Bottas is wasting a seat at Mercedes, Ricciardo should be there or Alonso if he wasn't retiring.

 

I guess Hamilton should be happy, all things fair Vettel and Ricciardo could have finished in front of him. He just needs some points in Mexico now more or less.

 

Kimi would definitely rather be somewhere else. Just give him the trophy and let him head off.

 

Quite possibly the last time we'll ever see Kimi on the top step. Bit sad really.

 

not really mistakes, the Monza, Suzuka and US iincidents could easily have gone the other way, but he had to go for them all because you either go for the overtake when you have the opportunity, which they all were, or you give up pretending to be a racing driver, and I personally think the 2 RBR drivers kept their feet in despite losing the corners.

 

Good .

A bloody race at long last , and well done Kimi .

 

Shame for Hamilton not to win his home Grand Prix.

 

Verstappen: so did you win the championship or not??
