I don't think LEC would be dumb enough. Now that LH isn't racing for wins, he's pretty open about staying in F1.

There's going to be a point where everyone at Mercedes will have to be honest with themselves, including HAM about the future of the program

We know RUS isn't going anywhere so who do you bring in as a #2? With rumours of SCH as a reserve driver at Mercedes, do you buy into his talent and potential to give him a seat or do you do you keep HAM on the team as long as he wants to stay? Add in Audi and their commitment, that's another team looking for talent.

Yes but there won't be talks until 2026 for sure.

LEC will stay will Ferrari and will win at least one championship with them... I'm sure.

Marko confirms that it was HAM that made Checo lose 2nd place and not the RB strat that he was on.

Yep and it wasn't Lewis' fault for defending his position.

This was a matter of Checo just not being good enough.

I agree. Hamilton had all the right to fight.

During the 2021 Abu Dhabi race, Perez made Hamilton lose precious time.

During the 2022 Abu Dhabi race, Hamilton (as well as Gasly and Albon - blue flags) made Perez lose precious time.

Possible new feature for the rear end section of Verstappen's 2023 car.

Just one more lap...shucks.

Race wins Hamilton > 103 - 90 < Entire rest of the grid next year

Great to see Leclerc get 2nd in the end just wasn't Perez day, but he had so much help from his team made the same as he got last year in Abu Dhabi, old hold on scratch that he and the team only think about Max.

Good to see Merc letting the drivers race, not seen that with RB this year they don't allow it or Max throws his toys out of the pram. But a wake up call for Merc the car had a blip of speed and it just didn't get to the sharp end.

Going to be great to see what the cars are going to be like next year. Will the top 3 be similar and solve all the previous problems. If you don't nail it early then with the spending cap (Red Bull excluded from this as cheats) it seems hard to spend back to the front. I wonder if it would be better to allow teams further back to spend more through the season to try and catch up, would make things more interesting.

Role on next year F1, its been an interesting one and the racing was certainly much closer through the field, counting down to the days to the pre season testing.

I was mainly just messing with NYG. As he said we obviously have a long way to go on Max’s career.

HAM's record will be beaten in 2027 .

I hear that FORD is really interested in Red Bull from 2026 .
But I really hope that Red Bull keeps the HONDA PU .

The Japanese did a great job for Red Bull .
