Mercedes doesn't have to change the 44...Maybe they can change that POS black livery back to the POS silver livery

It always got me in the '16 campaign that Ham wore a white helmet and Ros had a black one with the number 6 (The Prisoner) on his car.

I have read an article suggesting there should be virtual electronic gravel traps at the new tracks with these paved runoffs. Once you go in designated area car power is cut(or reduced) until you are out of virtual gravel trap. Less judgement calls for stewards.

Now I like this idea!!! Kinda the same as a gravel trap without the worries of getting stuck and bringing out a safety car.

For sure a harder ride with those 18's,at least Max could take it easy now letting de Vries go for it.

I'm definitely no Lewis fan, and was happy to see someone win it other then him, and Max certainly deserved it after his performance over the season. But as Bartledoo mentioned, I'm also in the appreciate both camp. Both Max and Lewis are exceptional talents, Senna and Schumacher level, one just has more accolades then the other at the moment. Bottas and Perez are both excellent drivers, but neither is near the level of their teammates, and that's a FACT.

Exactly why I won a Max vs Perez US$100 bet 3 or so races ago

And much larger brake set up and beefier suspension next season!

I'm good.

If anyone should be quiet, it's you. But, your room temperature IQ posts bring too much comedic value to ask you to stop. So please, keep going

I literally play in this arena because it’s good practice for dealing with some of the attorneys I must argue with regularly for work, all while keeping a smile on my face.

I still can't believe why this wasn't a penalty for HAM !

HAM took advantage by running off track by at least '50 meters !
5 sec. later HAM pulled a 2 sec. gap and he was gone...

In the end though it came about for luck starved Max, you heard the saying 'what goes around, comes around' and it was an excruciatingly long time coming for Max but like the bus you think will never come it turned up late..better late than never my friend.

I still didn't understand why Mercedes complained but whatever, it was a cool race

[M5Rick]

Everyone at RBR and Honda is high on emotion.

The latest in is that Mercedes has failed to turn up for a pre-presentation ceremony to hand over the World Champion trophy.

Marko,former Merc boss Norbert Haug,Gerhard Berger and Ecclestone are urging Wolff to drop title appeal

[FormulaMMM]

Should have urged Bottas to find the gas pedal. Within 23 seconds of HAM is all they needed.

Seidl has now jumped to Michael Masi's defence

Apparently Merc is refusing to have it's cars present at the trophy presentation gala tomorrow meaning it's cars will be missing on the 2022 F1 Calendar. They have won the constructors and I don't know if this childish action will put in doubt their sportsmanship to receive the '21 constructors title.

It's not clear who won the constructors championship. The rules that govern it can be modified at any time to say anything so there's no way to know who won. Maybe Chevy won it for the C8 Z06, it's a nice car.

Agreed. Having already prematurely assumed the WDC, Merc should hold off on WCC celebrations until Chevy exhaust the appeals process.
