Haas are both first and last on the grid 😀

And the top 6 are all from different teams. Should be fun.

Nobody talking about the pole sitter...???
I think most of us are excited for 2023 now that this season is finished

Happy to see both Silver Arrows on the front row, after such a difficult year for them 😀

It was an interesting Sprint race this time, with good battles! 👍

Yup Mercedes-AMG will bounce back I'm sure and give Red Bull-Honda a hard time for 2023 👍
I hope Scuderia Ferrari can still mix with them as well 😉

Nice to see Max disobey the Team and not let Perez pass. Proof that Max is a spoilt child that is not a good team mate or a good human. Great driver but that's where it ends.

Yep - not his best moment and I’m a fan.

He had built a little gap on Perez. But it was a bit pathetic. Hasn't he already won the championship? And didn't Perez let him through without a fight to have a go at the car in front?

Nice to see Merc competitive again, and a fantastic drive from Russell. About time he won a race.

Yeah I am a fan of Max and no fan of Perez at all but that did not look very good.

Perez couldn’t have fought anyway - he was on crap mediums and max was on fresh ish softs. But that was stupid. He’s a great driver, no doubt, but I suspect he’ll wake up tomorrow and wish he hadn’t done that.

and yep - very good from George. Not like he had it easy either with 2 restarts. I wouldn’t expect Lewis is quite as happy as his PR from the cockpit suggests. To be effectively used as a block for Perez after he pitted must leave him fuming. He could easily have won today otherwise. It’s clear they have no favourites there. I wonder how long he’ll carry on for frankly.

But giving Perez the position woulda made him second in the wdc so didn't really matter if he could fight?

the point I was replying to was that Perez let max through without a fight - he couldn’t have kept max behind anyway on those tyres.

But of course he should have let him through at the end

The most Damaging part for Max is when he told the team "Don't ever ask me to do that again" "Do you understand?"
So Max will never allow Perez past on anyone's orders.
2023 Perez should look after himself and then we will see what Horner and Marko are really made of. If they stand up to Max or let him continue to run the team the way Max wants.

The Silver Arrows are back! 😀

Very happy with that 1-2 from Mercedes-AMG in Brazil, very happy for George’s first GP win, and very happy with Lewis's behaviour after George's victory in the Sprint race and in the GP, being really happy for the success of the team ahead of his own. That is team spirit and generosity… the complete opposite of what Max did with Checo, especially after the times that Checo has obeyed orders to help Max, and especially after Abu Dhabi 2021…

Max's level of arrogance is so high as his talent as a racing driver. I don't like someone like that wearing the logo of my favourite brand of watches… 🤔

It looks interesting for 2023, probably with three teams fighting for the Titles 👍

Best thing for Perez would be if he could take Sainz's place in Ferrari, there he would have a more fair chance at fighting
