4 more races to go in 2017:

US F1 GP result 22nd of October

Mexican F1 GP result 29th of October

Brazilian F1 GP result 12th of November

Abu Dhabi F1 GP result 26th of November

Yeah, looks like 2017 championship is practically done and dusted already. Seb needs a miracle to even make it close again.

Come to think of it, I think better just for Ham to wrap up the title ASAP so that the rest of the remaining races everyone can just be open and race as they wish just for wins!

Yeah that championship is super tight now at the top, only 27 points separated the top 3 from Whincup-Coulthard-McLaughlin with still hundreds of points up for grabs.

F1 is more like a snore fest now already.

Seems like Kimi himself did not feel comfortable getting handed down the position back.


I think despite not popular decision, it's still the right decision to demote Max from the podium because as per the rule you cannot gain an advantage by going all 4 wheels outside of the track which unfortunately he did when he overtook Kimi.

As for Max fan, yeah I don't think there's any hardcore Max fan here who is actively participating with us in the F1 thread. I like Max but I'm not a true fan of any current driver actually, just a fan of F1 in general.

Hahaha, Bathurst is an awesome track, one of my favorites to play in GT6!
Btw Senna's Monaco pole lap was even more ballsy coz most of the lap were done with just 1 hand on the steering!

So title fight finally over, hope next few races will be just free for all to fight.

Great performance by Max, this kid is really special and ballsy off the starting grid. RB really needs to make sure they have a good car next year or else he will be restless looking for another team which can win titles. I think Ferrari should buy him out to replace Kimi.

Even this season looked so promising in the first half only to be settled this early already thanks to Ferrari unreliability and Seb's mistakes.

One point to note is that McLaren chassis do look good now. Notice that in the twisty bits, Alonso was even able to pull away a bit from Ham! Ham only caught up and finally passed him due to the long straights, otherwise he would have had a tougher time or even not able to pass if McLaren just had a bit more top speed.

But at least Renault can still provide more power and Renault powered cars have won a few races this year. I think McLaren cannot do worse than now.

Hahaha yeah, that was a nail bitter! I was actually supporting Ham instead of Massa back then coz I just think Massa is not WDC material and I wanted the new fresh young blood to win.

You mean Le Mans LMP?? That series is about to die man! Might as well stay in F1 rather than joining a dying series la!

Ugh that will be the time I stop watching car racing all together!

It's not called V8 Supercars anymore though, it's Virgin Australia Supercar series ever since Branson's Virgin Airlines became the main sponsor a few years back. And the engine formula is going to change soon to some turbocharge unit and no more V8 engines.

Naah looking at those cars with such skinny bike-like tires just does not appeal to me. Maybe if in the future the cars look better and muscular with similar speeds like F1 then I might be interested to watch. Of course the driver's caliber should also be top notch, not F1 rejects like now.

Wah rich man toy! Ready to pay the road tax too??
I'd be glad to be your guest though!

Rich man indeed!

So a rare time Ham messed up qualifying and starting from the pit. Hopefully would be an interesting all out race fighting for each own result.

Yeah, pretty boring race actually coz no fight from the top 3 and Ham was so easy to overtake others until he reached Kimi but Kimi had it all under control (probably also proof that Ferrari engine is about as powerful as the Mercs despite Ham having a fresh new engine).

The closer fight should've been between Massa/Alonso/Perez but the camera was focusing on the wrong fight. Good that Alonso still able to hold off Perez to regain his points lead from Stoffel, and Massa able to have a decent last home race.

Alonso would have overtaken Massa if not for the weak Honda. Can see how low on power the Honda is as even with the DRS open he still cannot match Merc powered cars top speeds. Same case also in Mexico, he barely can keep up on the straight even with the DRS open. Without DRS open, he's just a sitting duck.

Well that's why both of them are 4 times champ! Kimi on his day back in the mid 2000s was very fast and should be able to match Seb & Ham at least in the dry but now no more. Bottas, well he still have to prove himself as this is still his first year in a top team and his results are actually pretty good in the first half but he kinda drop the ball in the second half. Hopefully next year he will be better and more consistent.

Car wise, F1 has always been car dominant first and racer 2nd, so whoever wins the title surely must have had the best if not one of the best cars for that year.
