Those two deserve exactly what they get from each other.😂
Chris Ortiz said:Just one more thing I should mention
If this trend with the tires continues in the upcoming seasons—meaning they just shred themselves instantly—Lewis Hamilton won't stand a chance against Jenson Button. Absolutely none. Without the SC, he would have been lagging 40 to 50 seconds behind Gumby today; instead, he was out front after the first corner and managed to finish without any penalties or collisions.

I mean, if they hadn't told him "don't you dare," he probably would've gone for it.🙄 ☕
darkmarlin16 said:First off, huge congratsSebastian Vettel on grabbing the title.
Going into this race, I was fully expecting Red Bull to just absolutely steamroll the field—like, their most dominant showing all season. But nope, that didn't happen.
As for Fernando, I had him pegged for 5th since, let's be honest, that car isn't exactly a rocket ship, though I was secretly hoping he might scrape into 4th somehow. So, seeing him actually push Jenson Button like that and get right in the mix for the win? Totally caught me off guard. Those white tires were performing shockingly well. Toward the end of the race, I really didn't think Fernando would have the legs to hold off Sebastian using DRS, but man, he defended like a total pro.🙏
He showed some serious class by handling the loss so gracefully, being the VERY FIRST person to congratulate Sebastian on the championship right after hopping out of the car, and then doing it again during the press conference. Honestly, moments like that make me feel pretty damn proud to be rooting for a guy like him.
Regarding Jenson, I’m honestly just glad that if Fernando couldn't take the win, it ended up going to him instead. He proved once again that he's got the edge over Lewis Hamilton, and look, if he isn't rocking that red camera and the number 3 on his car next season, I'm calling foul—that'll be blatant favoritism toward Hamilton.
Red Bull once again played it safe and wouldn't let Mark Webber go for the pass on Sebastian, even though they swore up and down last year that they’d never pull a stunt like that. 🙄
Mercedes, as per usual, was pretty much useless considering what they’re actually aiming for.
Renault 😢
Sergio Perez 🙂

So, where exactly did they land on that penalty for Fernando Alonso at Monza?🙄
It wasn't there because it shouldn't have been there in the first place.
Look, Alonso actually gave Vettel some breathing room there. If he hadn't moved, Vettel would've ended up spinning out into the grass. Instead, he tucked into his right side to clear a path and let him through.
That was Vettel, and he said it right there at the press conference.
By the way, this comment isn't related to today's start, and I'm not trying to draw any parallels here.
Chris Ortiz said:I was wondering if any of the logic experts here could walk me through how it's possible for someone to hold two consecutive titles without necessarily being the youngest person to achieve two titles?
wanderingbison9 said:The officials definitely saw what happened, but since there wasn't any direct contact—and considering how often they seem to give Sebastian Vettel a free pass whenever possible, along with a few other questionable factors—it's all a bit murky. Did he actually force him off into the grass, or did he leave enough room? By the time Jenson Button was already "inside" the line, had the space already been surrendered? Come on, let's be real here.
Jason Campbell70 said:I mean, who knows? If Sebastian Vettel was the youngest world champion ever last season, then with this year's title, he’d definitely become the youngest two-time world champion in history.
It's logical and simple.
Unless, of course, you're Mladen Jergovic.
Or Frank Collins85.
BTW—I see some people here already think they know how the next few seasons will play out. Is there a tip line where I can place a bet? 🙂
Chris Ortiz said:Oh, give me a break, seriously. How many pointless penalties has Lewis taken for absolutely nothing? And now this
little brat playing dirty while fighting for the lead... if there isn't some kind of consequence coming, then I don't know what else to say. 🙂🙂😠
nimblesurfer17 said:What a terrible director...🤦
How incredibly dull that race was...🤦
That was such a pathetic call by Red Bull...🤦
Just one Rubens...🤦
And what a poor prediction from TBF1D...🤦 😁
Douglas Garcia24 said:Morning, everyone—specifically to the folks over at 😬
.
Alonso takes first place. ☕
nimblesurfer17 said:Whoa, you're quite the optimist...😁
Personally, I'm just hoping he finishes in the top five and gives us a spectacular show while he's at it..👋
Nancy Scott5 said:If Vettel pulled it off, why couldn't he?😕
Brian Campbell36 said:We can start popping the champagne once he actually crosses that finish line tomorrow and secures that final point.
Lest we forget last year, when Vettel sat third in the standings and snatched everything right from under the noses of both Webber and Alonso.
Anything could happen to Vettel—he could have another "Black Friday" disaster, or perhaps some driver might accidentally clip him and puncture his rear right tire; at that point, anything is possible.
Let us just wait until tomorrow morning; by around 10:00 AM, we will finally have our answer!
Amanda Kelly said:Massa and Hamilton lined up right next to each other on the grid. 🙂.
Felipe usually plays it gentle and polite at the start, but I get the feeling he’s got a real grudge against Lewis right now. I really hope he doesn't show him an inch of mercy.
If Hamilton pulls off one of those brilliant starts he’s been showing lately, he might just have Kamui in his sights. Not that Kamui actually stands a chance here, obviously, but those first two laps can get messy fast. You need a cool head if you want to survive them.
