Anyone here watching and want to chat?

Mazepin out with covid! :(

Daniel Ricciardo joking on Instagram saying he's going to win today! (He's my fave hehe..... Perez or Ricciardo for P1!! 😜)

I really hope it's a fair race, no dirty tactics and the best driver wins!! Let's gooo!!!

@ReginaaPhalange

That's fine, let them invalidate the race and the winner will be based on race wins.... won't change the result in that case
They should let them have a straightener in the pit lane to sort it out.

End of the day, the better driver and team won.

Hamilton has had some bloody good moments, including starting LAST in Brazil and still won the race! He's a very very talented driver, but what ruins it for me is his constant whinging on the radio, as does max and CH! But as I've said, the better driver and team won today.

They only had one lap left to race and MM is not as experienced as CW was.

Max is always being shortchanged and Lewis is massively favoured to the point that it looks like it’s fixed. Max gets no luck on track and I’ve watched them penalise Max for years. Just like vettell in Canada when they said he should give Lewis room when there was no room to give him.

Toto Wolff is an embarrassment. He's spoken out as being against W Series because it takes away from letting women compete in F1, but we all know he'd never consider a female driver.

ChequerBoard · 12/12/2021 16:26

Christian Horner is more of an embarrassment, thanking the 'wives and girlfriends' of his team.

Because female crew members and opposite sex partners aren't a thing in RB world, obviously. 🙄

Plus there the spectre of Geri shoving herself into shot at very opportunity!

And if she wasn't in shot, you can guarantee the media speculation on the status of their marriage. Can't win either way.

Can't wait for Drive to Suvive on Netflix, it will be a corker this year. Glad Max won, don't particularly like him but Lewis has won 7 times already.

She wishes people were that interested in her!

No one else's partner feels the need to get their views on camera!

alwayswrighty · 12/12/2021 16:35

@bert3400 that is going to make for some spectacular watching

Stellaris22 · 12/12/2021 16:43

I understand that the drivers want to get the best start when the safety car ends, but I found Verstappen continually edging in front of Hamilton under safety car very distasteful.

HeronLanyon · 12/12/2021 16:53

Well that was the first formula 1 I have watched since a child in the 70s when I used to watch quite a lot !
Lots of rule changes since then Grin
Tyre change was astonishing. I literally looked down to pick up a crisp and the car was back out - I had to rewind !

Fluffycloudland77 · 12/12/2021 16:55

No one noticed Hamilton rolling start at the beginning then?.

He’s got trouble next year when Russell’s his team mate, he actually has something in between his legs unlike Bottas. It’s another Rosberg situation waiting to happen.

2022TheYearofMe · 12/12/2021 16:55

Testing new username, don't watch F1 but DH does and he wasn't happy.

I wouldn’t be too excited. If it’s like previous seasons, they’ll overlook interesting parts so that they can focus on fabricating some kind of rivalry between Antonio Giovinazzi and Carlos Sainz! But seriously, I’m not sure that they’ll want to focus too closely on the season ending drama. DTS is ultimately an F1 marketing tool and this makes the sport look pretty stupid.
Fluffycloudland77 · 12/12/2021 17:10

We don’t watch DTS. Made up bollocks like TOWIE.

Stellaris22 · 12/12/2021 17:12

I much prefer the C4 series about W series anyway ...,

ReginaaPhalange · 12/12/2021 17:25

@Fluffycloudland77 he done the rolling start last weekend too!

Fluffycloudland77 · 12/12/2021 17:29

And yet no one’s calling for his blood?

My dh worked for MB, you don’t hear good things about LH coming from the factory.

Jos Verstappen looked white as a sheet I thought he was going to faint.

I love this, looked down to get a crisp 😂😂
Crazykatie · 12/12/2021 17:49

Grossly unfair result, changing the rules at the last minute so that Hamilton couldn’t respond. They should have made the decision earlier then Hamilton would have changed tyres and a fair result.

It’s F1s race and they run it as they want rules or not!.

PizzaCrust · 12/12/2021 17:50

Best result, was overwhelmed with emotion when watching it earlier. What an incredible last lap. What an incredible season.

Max deserved it so much. Well done Max.

One change I would like to see, is teams have one male and one female driver

And I cannot wait! He was incredible in the Mercedes car when he stepped in. I think Lewis’ reign has came to an end. F1 is finally back to being exciting to watch.
Stellaris22 · 12/12/2021 17:59

Extreme E have one female and one male driver. I wish F1 would allow more female drivers, W Series has shown us that there are some phenomenal drivers like Chadwick. They totally deserve a F1 seat.

ReginaaPhalange · 12/12/2021 18:15

Appeal decision expected in the next 30 minutes according to sky sports. Not going to lie - a bit nervous for it.

Lewis seemed to have accepted it, it's toto who hasn't shown his face....
