Re: 2020 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Race Thread
The early VSC completely ruined this race as it was too predictable But still Mercedes and Hamilton especially were very dominant on this track for many many years. So RBR being so good here is a good sign. Very surprising race IMO. Hopefully RBR can be good for once from the start next year.

Re: Honda to quit F1 after 2021
This is a sad and shocking news. RBR and I think AT as well had great relationship with Honda. 2022 would have been best chance for title. They should have at least signed 1 more year and see if it is worth it.

Re: Bold Prediction : Hamilton out, Vettel in
Unfortunately that is not happening. Next year again Mercedes will win both the titles. Bottas is also confirmed so Hamilton will be at least for 1year I am sure. Vettel is pretty much confirmed for RP. Now that Perez has announced he is leaving.
