I called it back in June. Red Bull's pit work was an advantage which saved the title.

Been rooting for Honda. What an incredible job they've done. After all the crap they received, to stay in F1 and build an engine strong enough to beat the all conquering Mercedes. Really is fairytale stuff from them. Can someone start a congratulations to Honda thread? They really deserve the thanks of all F1 fans.

What was wrong with race start, again? Hamilton too far back causing tire temperatures to drop, or was it gear box?

Perez was my driver of the day! What an amazing defence, hard, but fair! Although I was a Kimi fan, it felt wrong to vote for him, especially since he retired.

I think it was a huge mess up and the sporting regulations have been broken maybe a mistake by Masi but they can’t overturn it now it would not be good

The fact that Mercedes won the constructor trophy truly shows what a monster team it is, because Red Bull did almost everything right this season.
Honda built a masterpiece of an engine, the chassis was very good, the pitstops & strategy were stellar. Congratulations to the whole team! Hopefully Newey's design team can draw another masterpiece in the new regulations. After such a tense season, some Red Bull domination would be welcome  :yawnface:

Congrats to Max and Red Bull for a properly awesome fight this year. I've thoroughly enjoyed seeing my guy stack up the titles and break all the records for most of the hybrid era but I haven't enjoyed any of those seasons as much as I have this one, even if somehow (still can't quite believe how lol) Max came out as champion. Hard to ignore the obvious controversy thanks to the officials but when you just isolate Hamilton and Verstappen it's been an absolute classic.

 

I'd like to say I look forward to doing it all again next year but I somehow doubt we'll ever find ourselves with Merc and Red Bull with such evenly matched cars again and with Lewis running out of seasons we might not see it again. Hate that it ended like it did but I can't complain about the rivalry. Top, top racing overall.

Sorry, I didn't see @Sparky making that request. Coincidentally, I opened that thread, because I had to post that message from Horner somewhere.   :(
