    Whether he got screwed comes down to who you cheer for. He didn't have the option to get tires, not enough delta in the time he would have come back on track.

    I liked how Max made it a point to thank Checo and how Lewis was gracious to Max in the interview.

    At least the FIA was consistent this race. Just wish it wasn't bad.

    When did F1 adopt the NASCAR rules?

    Of course. I couldn't turn away:D

    And it's only 7 weeks until the 24 Hours of Daytona and the 2022 race season!

    Driver of the day, as far as I'm concerned.

    Too bad Mercedes didn't enter two cars in the race. The outcome could have been different.

    And this is one of the reasons I don't watch F1. This race was completely manufactured and the rules were applied inconsistently. Lewis *clearly* had a much, much faster car yet he loses the race. What a cluster f%ck. It was great to see awesome sportsmanship all around, though. I like Max and don't like Lewis much, but I don't think Max deserves this championship.

    :crackup:

    I watched about 10 laps total of the race. The rest wasn't worth watching, really. Too predictable.

    Hmmmm. I'm a Brit, that was a hard one to swallow at the end. Lewis showed great sportsmanship.

    That's racing, Max won. Could have end differently but it didn't.

    Not sure the Mercedes protest will amount to anything. And I think deep down Lewis would not like to win that way either.

    Just the way it goes some days.

    Both are amazing drivers with exceptional talents.

    Tough year for us Brits, 1st the Euro loss in soccer, now this! :-/

    I'm hopeful that Scott Redding can get BMW to provide him with a good bike next year. And that Sam Lowes can stop crashing.

    And that the Bloody I.O.M TT goes a head as planned for once.
