Thread two

We are over halfway through the season. It looks like the WDC will either be Lando or Oscar. Hoping for a grandstand finish in Abu Dhabi.

Very interesting

That safety car and the McLarens not pitting is so stressful. We're rooting for Oscar here, but i think MV will do it (but obviously there was always chance he would anyway)

I’m conflicted.

I want Oscar to do well today
i want Lando to get WDC
My money is on Max
i tend to support Mercedes

Slow stop

Norris pit stop was decent

Yes, he needed it too

Jesus, I nearly had a heart attack after that pit stop when Alonso was closing so quickly on Lando.

I really want Lando to get it done today. Not sure I can cope with championship drama at AD, AD 2021 is still too fresh.

I think we all want to avoid an AD21 repeat.

Thank goodness Lando got put ahead of Alonso.

So everyone else has to pit lap 32 but McLarens can go to lap 48/49. Then 8 laps on softs.

The question is can the others do 25 laps on softs? Lewis has done soft then medium so is better placed than others.

That was mad

So it’s likely to be Max, Oscar, Lando. Meaning Lando just needs 3rd in AD.

Poor Ollie. Dreadful pit

This is not good for Lando

FFS Max is going to be WDC again isn’t he!

I feel sick.

Been saying for months max will take the championship. No doubting he is a brilliant driver but it all feels a bit shonky to me.
Landos losing the plot out there and even Oscar knows he can't catch max today.

Antonelli really is a talent of the future

I thought Lando would get WDC but hoped OP would win today.
Not sure the pitstop strategy worked for the mcLarens

Poor decision by maclaren to stay out.
I'm rooting for Oscar, but max has got this one in the bag. Would love to see sainz on the podium again too 🤞

Yep looks like it. I will not be happy

That McLaren has no pace on the straight.

I like Max but don’t want him to get WDC

Def want sainz to stay in 3rd
Bit disappointed for Oscar, hes gained a lot on Max in the last few laps but hes way too far ahead. Why didnt they take the freebie pitstop?

Gonna be stressful next week (again!)

OMG Lando in 4th

Exciting at the end. Why did Antonelli let Lando through?
