LH is too fast with his new engine.

Yes agree, and that's the difference between champs and also rans like VB etc2. All the great champs often have those stunning drives during their careers.

The Brazillian obviously took LH as Senna's replacement, chanting ole2 Senna loud and booed MV Lol

Yes, horrible interviewer, like some other race earlier that he did (forgot which one).

That long 1km straight should suit Mercs but the twisty middle sector can be for RB, should be another interesting race.

Alpine and AT is still tied! Lol
Ferrari is leaving Mclaren now and CL is catching up to LN.

MV plays it on the edge but still considered legal.

Naah let it be settled mano a mano on the track like this race. MV has had his fair share of DNF thru no fault of his own otherwise he might have been champ by now. LH is lucky that he is still in the fight.

He needs to win at least the next 2 races to equalize then the final race he just have to finish ahead of MV

Yeah that will be a cliff hanger! What if that happens then somehow in the last race chaos occurs so that LH finished at 9th with MV 10th but MV managed to get fastest lap point!? They will still be equal on points, LH by right finishes ahead in the race but MV has more wins in a season (9 vs 8), so what will be the tie breaker to give the title to?? Lol

F1 will have higher speeds in the twisty middle section. MotoGp probably may have higher top speeds on the front straight.

I think Ferrari has sealed the 3rd position. 31 pts is a bit much to catch up for midfield teams with only 3 races to go. Sk the battle now onlh for Mercs vs RB and AT vs Alpine.

This year is quite difficult to predict where in 1 race RB can be dominant then next track Mercs are strong. Some race where people thought RB to be strong like Turkey ended up dominated by Mercs, then vice versa like Brazil for example. The upcoming 2 tracks are new so no idea who will have the advantage.

Yeah he is rather slow cuz still cannot beat the retiring KR! But yeah selecting Zhou is surely also not the most deserving if looking at pure performance result cuz he's significantly behind in 2nd from the potential F2 champ Piastri, again proving that F1 not necessarily selects based on results, unfortunately.

From the video, it looks like MV just refused to turn the steering until later, so purposely pushing wide but he surely braked very late. Judging from the video, MV should be penalized for pushing another competitor wide but there was actually no contact happening hence that's where the grey area is. If there was contact, I think he will surely be penalized. Any how at the end of the day, it's mute point cuz LH still able to pass later to win. A 5 sec time penalty will still also keep MV in 2nd, only adds some penalty points on MV.

Oh ya, my bad didn't quite recall how far VB was behind. Anyway as we know from Monza, MV will surely play hard ball in defending no matter what, probably as retaliation for Silverstone. Lol

The 2 new upcoming tracks is 50/50. The last track though seems favouring Mercs cuz got 2 long DRS zones, 1 after another separated by just a chicanne in between which is similar like in Brazil.

I'd rather no.3. I don't like things settled outside after the race. Let them race like in the olden days, settle things like real hard racers! In hindsight IMHO MV deserves to win the title this year which he should have if not for the 3 incidents. LH is very lucky to still be in the fight so if LH really manages to still win, I'd say the racing gods are trully conspiring against MV. Lol

Since he got no penalty, of course he will continue the same way.

The track looks quite flowing in an F1 car, seems like goimg to be difficult to overtake into the front straight cuz the last sequences of corners from 11 to 16 seem fast and rely on aero a lot.

Not surprised and I am glad they didn't change.

Not a good qualifying for RB especially as SP did a bad job and MV is rather far 0.4sec behind. LH did a strong lap though.
