Abu Dhabi Grand Prix......Spoiler Alerts!

coolcat · 12th December 2021, 07:33

Last race of the season.

Max and Lewis tied on points. Max has the all important Pole position.

It's all to play for. If either wins they win the Championship.

If either scores more points, they win the championship.

If neither finish in the points, Max wins the championship on the fact he has won one more race this season.

It's on a knife edge.........Hopefully there will be no shenanigans and fair racing.

May the best man win

It should be quite a race.

Number 6 · 12th December 2021, 09:31

I imagine that if Verstepan wins Mercedes will come up with all sorts of objections to reverse the decision, As will Red Bull if Hamilton wins

Lights out............Go Go Go

Verstappen should have had that lead back.

Advantage stolen! (corner was cut on his return with the distance gained not returned - not the place)

Saudi, advantage given back by Hamilton (hamilton took the shape of the corner on his return from the track).

Brazil, no advantage gained (both cars took the same lines out of the controversial corner - was dubious of Max's driving in that instance, but no advantage was gained by either)

excellent for Perez! When Perez has the opportunity to play the team game, he does it well. Just a shame he cannot create those opportunities himself. Was kind of hoping that his tyres would give out going around a corner and slide into hamilton

But Hamilton saying 'some dangerous driving' ? hmm I have said this before, Hamilton struggles when he is put under pressure, as here, he cries foul or lashes out. I do hope there is a review of the unfair advantage gained from that turn 7 incident and a 5 second time penalty added. There can be no doubt he gained an advantage from the manoeuvre. Whilst he did not have a choice but to drive off the circuit, he did gain the distance.

Not sure how I feel about that ending, but the same rule was applied to all ........ still think there needs to be a review of that first corner advantage.

Final race of the season? FINAL LAP!!!!!!!!

............. and to be fair to Hamilton, he did everything he needed to do today, and drove amazingly in Brazil to do all he needed to do.
