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.

Imagine if Oscar did not give him that place in Monza…
That would mean Lando attacks for P2 and WDC or Oscar slows down on the last lap. Glad it didn't happen.

Dirty, dirty Tsunoda. But this is RB...
Norris decides to drive off the track and overtakes but somehow tsunoda is dirty, ok.
He wouldn't have been off track if Tsunoda didn't put him there. Have you forgotten the rule where a driver has to leave a cars width?

Big congratulations to Norris for his first world title! The gap ended up smaller than it had any right to be, but a win is a win. Well done to the whole team.

As was the decision of the stewards.

I cant believe people are being so bitchy about the tsunoda bit. He was weaving like crazy. No driver in his right mind would go side by side closely when you see that ahead of you. Perez at least was graceful and skillful about it. Tsunoda was legitemately acting like he wanted to crash him out. Totally valid penalty for him.

As for the season, it got more complicated that it needed to be, but I think Lando deserved it in the end for turning it around after Zandvoort. RedBull turned their car around in Monza, but the deficit on the first half was too big to overcome. Max had an amazing season though. One of the greatest non-wdc drives I have seen.

I am glad to see McLaren “reset” some counters these last couple of years. As a kid I remembered a fast McLaren so the 2015-2023 hiatus was horrible. McLaren belongs to the top.

Having said that, now that they got 3 titles in the last 2 years, I wouldn’t mind if Ferrari manage to turn their sh*t around next year. It’s their turn to reset those nasty counters now xp

He is worried about post race scrutineering, like in Las Vegas.

I am not one for conspiracies but if they want to fix anything, it might be avoiding DSQ of a WDC post race.

He even said "I know what to do"...

Nope, no thanks. Let them stay where they are.

Who knows what will happen next year, we may be midfield again. Let's enjoy this.
With the technical team they have, that would be very hard to swallow.
