I left for like 5 minutes what happened to Ricciardo?

Hydraulic failure possibly coming from tapping the wall on the outside of turn 19

Hmm, something exciting might happen! The Mercs are close.

 

[Grayfox]

Illegal pass and nothing resembling an appropriate penalty.

Well it is what happens when the FIA dont have the balls do have proper penalties.
When was the black flag used last time, time to pull it out of the goodwill box, blow the cobwebs off and use it for once.

 

[Scuderia Paul]

I forgot there are Ferraris in this race. Only saw one because Verstappen is catching Raikonnen.

“Okay Valterri, Lewis is faster than you, so let him through even though he’s not battling for the championship!”

Oh wait, that’s something that Ferrari would do!

It was worthy of a bigger penalty but not the black flag. There only been one incident worthy of that this season and we all know what that was.

Magnussen once again being courteous with the blue flags

Abu Dhabi, nice scenery, 🤬 racing.

 

[Demon Drone]

Why is this garbage track the last race of the season? The racing has and will always suck here. Terrible design.

tandem donuts please

 

[Jimlaad43]

Who's ready to see the new F1 logo!

 

[Northstar]

Am I the only one that thinks Massa lost the right to do this kind of crap when he came back?

Agreed ! 8 years now and still the same boring racing! Interlagos should be the last race of the season without a question.

Vast quantities of money. The fireworks were the best part.

 

[Jimlaad43]

So where was the new F1 logo?

 

[Northstar]

So F1 is going full 80’s sci-fI movie?

Alonso got the last laugh on Massa, he's still faster than him!

I still don't know what was wrong with the previous logo??? The new one literally looks like a cheap parody. It's not interesting...I'm gonna miss the negative space and mild reference to the silhouette of the cars.

[daan]

That's an ugly logo, and Lewis can't do doughnuts.

I don’t know why but I feel like they were all designed by Hermann Tilke.

Nah, there aren't enough straights, the curves only have 1 apex, rather than 5, and there isn't a corner that's been copy and pasted from another track to make it seem vaguely exciting.

[C-ZETA]

So, yes. This season. First half was pretty good, second half wasn't. Thanks to Ferrari for bottling it. Couple of decent races throughout, and quite a few bad ones. Baku stands out as this year's only classic. I'd hope for better, but all I seem to be hearing for next year is doom-mongering. Oh, and of course, the god awful halo. Buzzing to do all this again in March, though...

 

[Whodoyouthink]

This is kinda sad to me. They were a big upgrade from watching SPEED at 480p for me! I really loved the Sam Posey "essays", as well as the F1 Countdowns/Extras. Admittedly, I kinda stopped consistently watching the pre/post race stuff, since the allure and excitement of F1 sort of became "normal" since my first.





That was the best send off EVER....all three doing shoeys!!!
