Well at today, no Red Bull/Verstappen fan, nor FIA employee can argue in good faith that the Safety Car procedures in Abu Dhabi were correct. Utterly kills any talk of races not ending under Safety Car irrespective of the race outcomes today.

that latifi pack got nick on cloud 9 :smoker:

That's really the takeaway from this race. Ain't no way Latifi isn't staring down his last six races as a F1 driver. Mans got outraced by someone who had all of one practice session to truly get his shyt together.

Motherfukker is 21st in the standings on a normally 20 driver table. :dead:

He's only technically ahead of Hulkenburg, who is back to sitting around waiting for a seat to open up that he's never going to get. :dead:

The biggest challenge Russell will always face while driving with Merc is people always wondering if Lewis would have placed the car better.
Lewis in front would have probably been 5 secs faster or so. Might have been enough to screw Leclerc out of second but who knows

I said it before that dude is worthless as a driver and has no place on the grid. Even Albon's replacement guy scored today.

Yeah and the new yank owners swore racing would be a lot closer. But as we see its not even close
Too early to say. The cost cap isn't going to anything now because Ferrari/RB/Merc are so far ahead of the rest in terms of engineering and facilities. That'll take awhile to even out.

FOM can't control Ferrari and Merc dropping the ball. I think everyone fully expected Mercedes to come out with a top car in testing, and expected Ferrari to stay close based on their initial pace. Neither happened.

Yup. Could go down as a GOAT tier season. Not much competition down the stretch but that's not his fault.

he is on 68% at the mo (5th) and the highest he can get if he wins all the rest is 77%
