I'm just glad Bottas didn't go into wrecking ball mode. 🙄
Yeah indeed - that could have gone very wrong. Imagine the row that would have broken out! Looking forward to next week now….

Lewis added in his interview: “They’ve had the fastest car most of the year so it’s not a surprise"
Quite unbelievable. He's been saying that for a while now but the numbers just doen't support it. Fastest laps this season are 12 to 5 in favour of Merc. I realize Bottas has been called in a couple of times to steel the fastest lap point away from Max but Lewis was responsible for 6 of the 12...
In Austin Lewis also said RB were faster but he clocked the fastest laps of the race. His fastest was 5 tenths (!) quicker than Max's. They lost on strategy.

You know LH. I always take what he says with a grain of salt 🙄 He’s been into the sport for such a long time already that he knows how to play politics and mind games which is all part of the plan 😒

How about his latest magazine cover? Innovator? 😗

Yeah agreed. It’s great on Twitter. The Hamilton fans all saying, well max has the fastest car etc. didn’t Lewis for the previous 6/7 years with a far greater difference

this year has been a fairly level shoot out between 2 good teams and drivers. Good to see and I do hope that max does it so there is a bit of a shake up.

My thoughts exactly. How dominant hasn't the Merc been previous years, the only true challenger Lewis had for years was Bottas. For a while almost challenged by Ferrari and Vettel, who Vetteled around spinning himself out of being any real contender.

This season we have really gotten to enjoy two top teams being about as equal as it ever gets in F1, fighting it out for p1. Strategy playing a major role too which is so fun to see.

Red Bull have the fastest car..... Bottas takes pole. The truth is track position was everything and Max stole it in the first corner.

Simply lovely!

Good to see RB catch up in the constructors too, will be nice to see them take p1 in Brazil.

Great race! If RB can win the Constructors and Max the Drivers I will be a very happy man! I am sure TH will bring out an extra special edition Red Bull / Max F1 if this happens, and I will be first in line 😁

Poor Bottas 🙁 I’m sure he has helped LH ALOT in winning races and even the championship. Now, he’s to be blamed 🤦

Yeah Hamilton said some really shitty things after the race. Just shows that his pc pretty behaviour is just an act in front of the cameras.

First in line ey? I dont think so buddy!

Rob told me he doubts they will do one but Im with you, I really really wish they release a watch celebrating Max as world champion. Missed opportunity if they dont, right?

Im hoping for a 41mm cal 16 Carrera with a bright orange biiizel, fume looking orange dial (honouring the orange army smoke) and a nive engraved caseback! Polished case. On a perforated racing leather with polished folding clasp.

Well let's hope they don't ask Max to design it.

I think they might, but if they do I think it will be a Cal 16 F1 and probably on an orange rubber strap.

I certainly don't think it will be a variation on the Fangio Carrera, as Jim suggested...🙄
