One of the best races I have ever seen and a brilliant performance from Verstappen.

Carlos drives for a few years in a top level car and Lawson gets experience in the sister car with less pressure. It could make sense .

That would make a lot of sense. Now let’s see if Max approves it lol

2nd-The whole race was just filled with twists and penalties combined with insane driving by Max

Congratulations to the race winner and the drivers champion . Lots of passing and I am glad it wasn't a crash fest . The middle of the pack points fight will go down to the last race .

Felt bad for Gasly and Albon . I am loving Carlos vs Charles battle . I hope Williams can provide a solid car next year . Only two races left .

Colapinto keeps breaking cars into small pieces, so they would have to budget for that

10th to 2nd, Hamilton looked like a man possessed and yet he did not seem overly pleased during the post race interviews. One does have to wonder how the Ferrari battle will shape up in 2025, especially since Sainz has shown plenty of strength in 24 even though he has been aware his ride with the Prancing Pony was soon to be crossing his finish line. The racing, imho, has been really solid this year, and that hopefully portends an even more exciting set of races in 2025.

Poor Sodapony can't get a break, even when he is not at fault he ends up with a wrecked car. Hoping to see Lawson running with Max-a-million next year, as the rumor 944m3 noted would make for a very strong Red Bull Team. Since Sainz and Verstappen are not known to like each other it could be a tough sell to Mr. 4 Time.

Agree with MarcusM, the last two races have been full of wacky penalties. I hope those don't keep the drivers from being as aggressive as they have been this year.

interesting shenanigans before the race. Funny that Russell thought that pissing off Verstappen would give Russell an advantage. And Williams having to borrow stuff from other teams to make the grid.
