Bugger. Guess I won't be watching Hamilton win again. Hope George has a spare Williams t-shirt in his kitbag

O well, the one race experiment was fun...

It's a sad state of affairs that we were all excited about Hamilton not racing.

Bleak that George not in the Merc for the weekend.

Yeah, Lewis has the championship, he can take the race off or have a go at it in the Williams just for fun.

Now THAT would settle all arguments about it being the car. He would not get out of Q3 and fight for the last few spaces, just like George has done for the last 2 years.

Company stability going from strength to strength at the reds I see lol.

There is just always something going on behind closed doors there to prevent the racing team to flourish it seems. They have been the recycle bin for high profile staff these last couple of years.

This could have been the only saving grace for undeniably the worst race track on the f1 calender. I’m literally more excited for the post race test than the actual race here. Abu Slaapie we call it. The season ending here in the last years always left me with a sense of relief that the crap was over for a year, whereas Interlagos would leave you with such a high to carry you through the winter break that you were buzzing all the way to winter testing.

I am just hoping Albon trying to save his seat for 2021 bins it into the first corner taking the Mercs and Max out. Then 50 laps of best of the rest.

very interesting indeed 

 

 

Not surprised that Fangio took top honors 

[MrJacques]

Reminds me, I saw this the other day. Old photo of Juan Manuel Fangio, colorized with an A.I.

 

Don't think this was done by an A.I.

 

 

p.s. some interesting links to explain the look of the car due to rolling shutter of the camera: https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/comments/9xww7s/fangio_on_the_limit_parabolica_at_monza_colorized/
