I felt Vettel should have penalised for forcing Lewis onto the grass at the start. OK, Lewis wasn't fully alongside, but you can't just move over on someone like that.

100% agree. Vettel didn’t leave any room for Lewis, and he must leave at least the width of a car. That movement was unfair and dangerous

I think it was fine. It was Lewis’ choice what to do, stay on it or back off. It was a good block. If he’d been right up alongside when Vettel moved then a penalty would have been a must.
This was proper racing in my eyes, and comes from a Lewis fan.

And the driver’s Title is not decided yet, but it only can be for a Mercedes driver! 👍

Well... if Bottas wins it now I will post a photo of myself eating my TAG Heuer baseball cap.

😲 😁😁

Yes, with an advantage of 74 points with only 78 to decide, it seems your TH cap is quite safe! 😉

Congrats on his 6th title for your main man.

Valtteri Bottas might not have led the entire Formula OneU.S. Grand Prix from pole, but he was out front on the lap he needed to be out front on: the final one. His Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton finished finished just over four seconds behind in second, which was enough to secure Hamilton’s sixth-career title.

Thank you @Hubert !! 😀 👍

I’m really happy for this new 1-2 for the Silver Arrows in the #USGP and the 6th Title for Lewis Hamilton, all six “Powered by Mercedes-Benz”! My favourite current driver and my favourite team/brand, so I’m really enjoying these years! 🙄

The Championship standings after the #USGP:


With Lewis already Champion, and Valtteri already runner-up, the interest for the remaining two races is: Who will be the first non-Mercedes driver in the Championship? 😉
The fight for the third position is tight, and I would like to see Max in that Championship podium at the end of the season 👍

I wouldn't entirely rule out that he retires in the off-season.
Vettel? I think that's got a pretty good chance of being a good prediction.

Vettel and Leclerc just have discovered the Prost-Senna-game. Seems to be kind of a tradition...

What a race!! 🙄
After 1st and 2nd positions in the Championship secured for the Silver Arrows, I’m very happy with Max being now in the 3rd position! 😀 I hope he can keep it after Abu Dhabi! 👍
And thank you Vettel, you did a great job in the #BrazilGP for your former Red Bull Racing team! 😁
