Always a boring race this one, such a waste to have this as the season finale... take it back to Brazil! Well done Max... faultless drive start to finish. I think Hamilton is probably feeling the effects of Covid still. Another few laps and Albon could have pinched that final podium spot. Stroll is ...

BeOnEdge

I've gone with Russell. Hamilton will win every season until he decides to retire... By then George will be in the Merc and with no signs of them slipping down the field he has to be favourite. I really hope there's a big change to the dominance when the new regs come in in 2022.

BeOnEdge

It's going to be a long race in these conditions. Anyone could win this today, it only takes one mistake ro ruin your chances. It's got a feel of Hockenheim 2019.

BeOnEdge

[*]I think it's safe to say Albon put the final nail in his coffin today.

BeOnEdge

Realistically the only capabale teams with a chance of winning will most likely be Merc, Ferrari and Red Bull. So that just leaves Albon. I can't see him getting a win this season though.

BeOnEdge

It's a strong livery, classy and refined. The addition of red works well I think.

BeOnEdge

So much better than last season's JPS rip off.

BeOnEdge

Sainz... may not have got into the points but wasn't far off and a valiant effort considering what happened on his first lap. Norris... put it in a solid effort and maintained his position throughout the race. Verstappen... Another solid drive. Special mention to Leclerc and Vettel of course. Even i...

BeOnEdge

Oh Leclerc... what a lap!

I don't think anyone expected a Ferrari to take pole here, that was something else...

I really hope Leclerc can convert this to a win tomorrow and join the club with Damon and Mika

BeOnEdge

They can moan that they missed the cut off but at the end of the day they had what? 6 minutes to get out? If they all want to play games and wait for the tow etc then it's tough.

Once again the so called 'pinnacle' of motorsport is an absolute laughing stock

BeOnEdge

Well done Leclerc, you really did deserve that one.

Good solid race today. Hats off to Albon for bringing it home in 5th, I wonder what Max could have achieved if it wasn't for the blunder going into turn 1.

Absolutely gutted for Norris.

BeOnEdge

As mentioned by the OP, I can see arguments for and against changing this section of the track. Personally, I wouldn't want Eau Rouge or Radillon to be altered. It is one of the most iconic sections of any race track in the world. Hubert's death is an incredibly tragic accident. A freak accident at ...

BeOnEdge

I know he had a victory in Monaco and in France. Very sad day. Anticipation of the F1 race is now in a somber mode. One has to ask himself, would a sand trap/any trap save his life, and it probably would, because the car would not bounce back to the racetrack (actually the asphalt was not a part of...

Sadly, Hubert has died. R.I.P. https://www.racefans.net/2019/08/31/fia-confirms-f2-driver-anthoine-hubert-was-killed-in-spa-crash/ That's terrible news, apparently he wasn't without talent either, just a reminder of the dangers of the sport, it's not tennis. Two wins in his rookie season, certainly...

Horrific accident and no restart.

Doesn't look good, I hope all drivers involved are ok

Gasly closer to Verstappen than he was in a Red Bull. Was the Renault of DR on low tanks? If not, impressive time from him. I won't hold my breath...but maybe Renault just made a small jump.. Certainly a promising sign. I guess will find out in around an hours time if that's a true reflection of th...

Glad he walked away okay from this one... But fingers crossed it's a chassis change and a pit lane start for him.

Charles wasn't pushed off into a gravel trap and he wasn't punted off into a barrier. Wow, completely irrelevant and it makes it hard to respect your opinion when you use arguments such as this.

Not the smoothest of overtakes but job done by Verstappen. In my opinion, no penalty - and I'm a Leclerc fan... Absolutely fantastic drive by Max and a truly deserved win. He was bound to pass Charles at some point on the last couple of laps. Still gutted that Leclerc hasn't obtained his first GP v...

Even worse is Vettel's unsportsmanlike behaviour after the race in the parc ferme. He should get a 1 race DSQ for bringing the sport into disrepute, but sadly, there are no such rules handling disrepute/bad behaviour in the FIA rule book (pretty much the ONLY international sport that doesn't have r...

I didn't say he didn't cut it...

Just checked back and no you didn't. My apologies.

Hoping Vettel boycotts the podium. What an absolute joke

BeOnEdge

It does make me laugh. They want it to be more competitive and then they dish out stupid ######## penalties like that.

Absolute joke.

BeOnEdge

If Vettel can maintain his lead through the first lap I feel as though he has a good chance of taking the victory today. Ferrari's speed through S3 is very impressive. Ricciardo will not maintain 4th. Impressive quali for him yesterday but in reality the only reason he took 4th was because of Versta...

BeOnEdge

I expect another Merc 1 / 2 tomorrow is the favoured result. Only three races in and I think I'll knock this season on the head. Roll on 2021.

Just an observation from all the cars so far, all the front wings are MASSIVE! It's amazing how much bigger they all look, even if they are simpler aero wise. Let's see how many times they trip over them and break them off. First few races could certainly be intersting... Especially with the amount...

It's nice to see every team getting a decent amount of testing laps in so far. Especially McLaren!

I watched the Williams documentary at the weekend, it was quite sad at the end with them asking Frank if he thought he'd see the team be competitive again. I wish I had his faith. I can't see them moving forward without major investment. I also watched the Williams documentary having not seen it be...
