Yeah, Max bossed it, today. The title race is as good as over.
Not over yet. Lando still has a chance, but you're right, Max was back on his game. Ocon repeated a quote to the effect that rain makes all of the cars equal. The best driver won and quite frankly I'm glad he did. It was a big ol middle finger to the FIA. Good race though, rain shakes things up.

Wet weather always sorts the men from the boys. Senna, Schumacher, Hamilton, Verstappen are/were exceptional in the rain.

Great Season! Next year will be interesting to see what Red Bull comes up with without Newy. I wonder who will be all in on 2025 or concentrating the new formula coming in 2026

The teams at the back end of the field would be better off pouring more money into R&D for 2026 in the hopes they can come up with a car that makes a giant leap. I'd like to see Williams do this and maybe get back to winning ways.

That was one of the best seasons we've had for quite a long time. And in 2026, we add Andretti, Global to the mix.

Just read that Eddie Jordan has bladder and prostate cancer which has spread to his spine and pelvis.

I always liked Eddie. I liked him when he ran his own F1 team and I liked him when he became a commentator. He always gave it to the viewers, straight. No bs.

Wishing him all the best.

That stinks. I was big fan of Team Jordan,still have my '97 team hat (I always wear it on St. Patricks Day), Giancarlo Fisichella was my driver.
