To be fair, the son has far exceeded the dad here ;-)

also forgot to add, a part of me wants to bet money on HAM not driving for Merc on the last race. I know he probably will, but the drama would be so juicy haha

Everybody gets a penalty this weekend and Sauber gets their first points all year.

Maybe the stewards get a free gift with each penalty handed out

Honestly sad to see. I hope he can find some mojo in a Ferrari but I can’t see him hanging in there if Ferrari have a “we are checking” kind of a season.

Gives me some real admiration for Alsonso’s ability to hang in there through all the crap at Aston Martin this year.

Interesting explanation on sky about that double yellow situation.
It's a lap earlier. There were no lights yet, but there was a double yellow flag.
And Max saw it. Lando didn't

Their explanation: that's why Max is a 4 times champion

Hammy currently gets something like 50 million/year to drive that Mercedes.
That should be enough Mojo to give his best in both the Mercedes or next year in the Ferrari (for $100 million'/year or whatever it is)

Not that long ago, Yuki only got $750k/ year and he always gives his best. He was the lowest paid driver together with Sargeant when he was still driving.

Like parking wardens, a bonus for every ticket handed out.

Poor 'ol Lando needs to be sharper with the little things catching him out.

That is the big difference between Lando and Max (well, most drivers and Max).

When something happens, something that is out of the ordinary, Max is the least likely to make mistakes and most likely to profit from that situation.
He is just so much in control. And RB as a team too.
Max is just better in situations like coping with cold tyres at a SC restart, or if it starts to rain, when to come in and for what tyre etc etc.
Pure racecraft. Pure skill.

Lando is only quick when everything goes to plan, the car is good and nothing strange happens.
Even today when he got that stop&go penalty and was flying to make up time, there were moments that he got off track.

63 wins, 40 poles and 33 FL's so with Abu Dhabi in a week it looks like it's gonna be 63 wins for MAX to wind up this season.
