Figured I'd save @rameire the hassle of setting up the finale's thread - thanks for doing so many!
No Esteban Ocon for this race, with Jack Doohan taking his place.
I wonder if that'll change next season if they're the 2 teams in it. Ferrari were never really in the constructors fight properly, and it only went to last race because McLaren ballsed it up.
I have to say I love seeing images like this and not the Horner V Toto handbags.

Duly noted. 🙂
Ah me asking the question doesn't = me hating. Anyway, you're correct - it was insignificant. Moving on. 👍️
But you asked why was Hamilton getting his own spot and that poster answered? Ye both are having a cut at each other’s biases so I guess that cancels out!
FWIW, it seems obvious why they done it. Can see why some see it as a break from tradition but it’s really just post race insignificance.
You are better off sticking them on ignore. You wouldnt believe how clean it keeps the thread.
How does questioning Hamilton getting his own spot equate to hating him? I don’t hate him at all, I was only wondering why it was done since he’s only changing teams. If he was retiring or had just won the championship then yeah fair enough. The only hate I see is from yourself towards Max. You come across as awful angry and bitter about him, not sure why, but maybe the winter break will be good for you as life’s too short to be like that.
I'm no hamilton fan but nobody is going to run rings around him. It will be close either way I'd imagine.
Its amazing what toxic hatred can do to a person's mind.
Awe poor Sergio
Mod Edit
Warning issued.
That was odd, they are letting all this soppy sh!te into the sport. If a driver is retiring then fair enough have a celebration but doing it for drivers that will be driving next season is embarrassing
It was embarrassing when Zhou got a special spot in China. It's embarrassing that Lewis did now.
If sky were this bad when he's just moving teams (and not to a back of the grid team either), imagine how they'll be when he retires...
Crofty going mad about how well Lewis raced, ignoring that Charles started behind him and finished ahead of him.
Hamilton offered his hand to Leclerc after the race as Leclerc waiting to do Rosberg interview. Leclerc shakes hands but the look he gives Hamilton you could read his mind " Wait till next year when you're in red , I will drive rings round you and make you look like a f**k**g novice ". .. and he will
Lewis isn't retiring either?
Is Lewis joining Checo in announcing a post-season retirement regardless of contract?
Its a bit bizarre.
I know he is a dickhead, but I cant help liking Zak Brown.
Respect to Leclerc, he didn't want to talk about Hamilton to Rosberg, only about Sainz and how well they worked together at Ferrari.
Not surprising as Leclerc is Ferraris golden child
Jeez - will Sky ever lay off the hammy love bombing. He’s not going away . . . . .
Yeah bit of salt and vinegar for those chips would be nice 😝
This whole Hamilton thing would be really decent if he was retiring,they're over egging it a bit now...the only thing making it enjoyable is knowing how much some lads are at home raging about it 😂😂
145 million dollar race for McL.
The last (and as far as I'm aware only) time F1 did something like that was when Vettel retired - emphasis on retired, not changing teams.
The one positive from it, is it gave hive a spot to do some donut's…
They are more losing their jobs than retiring, Plus aint bottas gonna be a reserve for Merc
and I’d like to the academy…
Charles looks like he cant wait to partner Lewis next year…
Oh this swooning over Hamilton is insufferable.
Does it matter he is 4th on track behind the top 3 makes sense :P
Its celebrating the longest driver/team partnership and maybe the most sucessful too so yeah its fine, also the sports biggest personality going to the biggest team. Get over it and you have till March to do that so…
When max leaves redbull will you be as sour?
F me some people on here will just hate hamiltion for anything…
Meh race with a good start Charles did well, Lando Controlled it, Max showed his true colours again. Would love to see a year of max gettin rotten luck that would be hilarious.
Congrats to Mclaren on the constructors they should of won it races ago tbf, but they did it, would of been hilarious if they lost it though.
If Perez is in that seat next year he either has dirt on the whole team or on Christian, its not money keeping him there thats for sure.
No spot for Kmag or Bottas
Leclerc pissed off they didn't get that top spot...Sainz couldn't care less lol.
