Dirty, dirty Tsunoda. But this is RB...
Norris decides to drive off the track and overtakes but somehow tsunoda is dirty, ok.
I mean....he was weaving. Clearly.

Unsure why weaving should not be considered dirty, particularly given the Tsunoda radio prior to the incident.

Awesome Lando!!!!
Get the hell in there!!!

Commiserations to our Australian contingency. Oscar did a fantastic job but ultimately faltered slightly. He’ll get another go.

Well done to Norris.

McLaren made this harder than it should and the drivers' title should have been wrapped up earlier.

Of curiosity, is there any precedent or risk of a DSQ after a championship deciding race that hands the title to Max?
I also wondering, hope no surprises tomorrow and drama later on, hope everything is fine and results stay as they are now. I am not sure there will be another opportunity like this one in future for Lando and Mclaren, there is plenty of shortcomings to work on to be a consistent challenger in years to come.
Need a FIA confirmation on results asap.

Of course it is well deserved. He was fighting the whole year with BS stewart decisions, his own teammate, his own team that costed him more than 60 points and 3 Red Bull cars but just like last year he gave us one good last performance (especially when he passed every DRS train).

As for those who talk about mediocre drivers without any base. Take a chill pill and enjoy the rightful champion.
It is well deserved, but don't ridicule yourself by not acknowledging the problems Red Bull faced. (and don't pin the car's legality problems on stewards).
Eventually, it was McLaren's title to lose and their drivers delivered what they had to. So fair play to NOR & PIA. Hopefully, they won't prioritize either driver in the future...
Considering what I've seen in 35 years of F1 I have every right to pin the stewards.

This!!

Only thing we can say is that Mclaren knew they where in trouble 2 laps into the race in Vegas

Am glad that it limited to weaving and not taking Lando out completely, RBR is prepared to do anything, however I am not sure if Max is going to there with RBR beyond 2026, so then what happens?
Honestly Yuki is no Perez, it was not close to how Perez held up Lewis in 2021.

Congratulations to Lando. In the end I think this was the right driver/car combo to win this year. They made it a lot harder than it needed to be but the result was the desired one in the end. Lando was solid when he needed to be.

Relax they had 3 practice session to look at the floor, its a smooth track and the team didnt once ask Lando to slow down, all unlike LV.

Just a final bit of technical information. Bith mclarens ran nearly 1 cm higher overall than what ther were used to in the middle of the season. After Las Vegas it dind change in Qatar but they had to rise thr car here to be safe which was why they were off the pace in the race.
Halo not as bad as we thought

He could have just given it in AD.
