Great win by Piastri today. Truly showing maturity beyond his years with the way he held of Leclerc.

I AGREE .

I DIDN’T REALISE AT THE TIME THAT HIS RACE ENGINEER SAID TO TAKE IT EASY ON THE TYRES , Piastri ignored that thinking he only had one chance .

Sorry about the capitals .

Anyway .

Best news for ME was both Williams in the points .

I can’t remember where the smileys are , but I’m very VERY happy .

[Sam_Brown]

I’ll do you the honours

Those last two were for the crash at the end.

I don’t think the wheel is meant to be there.

A champion's drive today by Max.

Also the engineers for all teams today were amazing.

I don’t like Max but I can’t help but feel that was one of the best drives I’ve ever watched live. 17th to first and finishing the race leading by 20 seconds at the end. In some of the worst conditions I’ve seen. Not only that I don’t think he put a foot wrong all 69 laps. Everyone else was spinning and sliding all over the place but Maxes race was flawless. Props where it’s deserved. Such a shame he’ll always be remembered for being aggressive to the point of reckless. When he puts his head down we see he doesn’t need to resort to such tactics.

What's with the penalty for Nando yesterday? Seems a bit harsh. The punishment not the infraction itself. Can't help but feel this is to make the final day of the season more exciting where the constructors title is on the line.

Sadly I tend to agree. The 10 second stop go is the most severe penalty in a race other than absolute disqualification.

That said, failing to slow for waved double yellows is extremely dangerous and has led to fatalities in the past.

The trouble is that there is zero consistency in penalties and for what they are awarded.

Well McLaren have won the CC. Fair play to them. Next season should be good. Looking forward to it. Can McLaren build on this season and win the drivers title or will RedBull turn things around and come out all guns blazing?

Don't rule out Ferrari.

I’m a McLaren fanboy so I’m very happy with them winning the CC .

I agree Greenblue, Ferrari with Leclerc and Hamilton could be a real threat next year.

Red Bull obviously have a decent car and driver in Max but I don’t see the ‘cheating one’ winning the title new season.
