Once in a lifetime for some, as a life long fan of the sport, I love these kinds of rare events. And after the past 7 years, we were due something like this.

Thanks for one last thread, Tom. As usual, I'm a little more hyped now!

I bought a Serrano ham for this one yesterday. Also got some Max Strong Wasabi peanuts.… what snacks is everyone getting?
I can’t decide !!
Posted 12 December 2021 - 10:39
So Mazepin out, that is one red flag less. Schumacher and Tsunoda left.

I think it's been 13 years since last time we've had a WCC decided in the last race. Granted, it looks rather bleak for Red Bull, the fact that this has not happened since 2008 is interesting (and probably related, aside from dominant cars, to ever-growing F1 calendar).

My walk is taking me via the local shop, where I will pick up (at the request of the kids) some bRussell sprouts (to be cooked with breadcrumbs and Parmesan) and some LanDonuts.
F1, food and puns: possibly 3 of my favourite things.

Rosberg also won the championship in the last race

You know I am actually less nervous today than I have been all season, I just hope it goes the way of Lewis. What a season though and what a race to the title we have had.

Hopefully is a great race with a lot of action. I prefer if Max wins but if Hamilton is the winner, that's also cool. Someone winning more titles than Schumacher is something I never thought I will see in my lifetime.

I have the same, was expecting a dominant Mercedes for this race, so that not being the case is good enough for me. May the best win.
Posted 12 December 2021 - 10:48
Was it Vettel who went for a 2 stop here in 2016 and very almost won the race with a vastly inferior car?
Only when Hamilton backed Rosberg into Ver and Vet for many laps, or he would be far in the distance.
Or maybe it was some other year you are talking about...can't remember anymore.

Apart from qualifying, based on my notes. Used hard tyres for Mercedes have done one lap, ditto for Alpine. Schumacher's used mediums have done two laps (Mazepin would have had the same)

For the sake of the Autosport forum servers, I hope Max and Ham don't have a 'contretemps'
As a neutral observer - ok so maybe not quite so neutral after the last few races, I think Max has pushed things too far at times - I would love for this to be decided on track in a clean manner. However, with the way this season has gone I fully expect this to end up with an incident being investigated by the stewards and then the result being subject to appeal by the losing party...

And despite Lewis tootling around still nobody could overtake.Different track, and not a normal race as Lewis was trying his best to back Nico back into the clutches of the others so the final few laps were far slower than they could have been in more normal circumstances.
Posted 12 December 2021 - 10:55
Meanwhile, the mods prepare for the finale...
More seriously, a word of thanks for keeping the ship sailing during what has certainly been a taxing year. Thank you!

I wish I could plan my toilet stops with that sort of precision...

I know! was just like old times lol. If it decides the championship though they might be down for a week

I fancy Verstappen to have enough to take it now
RB's speed trap figures look good in Qualifying..

I just hope I'm quick enough with the remote to mute the TV when they interview Horner afterwards (no matter what way the title goes).

Mercedes/Red Bull could easily instruct Bottas/Perez to knock that final corner bollard at just the right time to give their team leader a free pitstop...

Can't take credit for it but found this funny.
I'll see your reddit and raise you GP2:

Funniest podium would be Perez #1, Hamilton #2, Verstappen #3.
Just to see the look on Marko's face...
