Great job by the silver arrows.

six consecutive titles is no joke and shows what a strong and smart team they are. They really put a great team together with Lewis, a good co-driver in Nico and Valtteri and the brains behind the team.

I’ll be surprised if they don’t stitch up next season’s championship as well. Never thought I’d see a team dominate like this.

as for the race itself I thought it was pretty enjoyable. Loved how Bottas leaped the Ferraris at the start. Didn’t like how Leclerc ran into Verstappen but I think there’s history there. Albon though delivered for Honda with a 4th place which was nice given the pace deficit the Honda engines have. I thought Leclerc drove well too from the back. Mexico in 2 weeks followed by COTA in 3 weeks.

Lewis just couldn't get around Seb at the end, even with fresh, soft tires. Ferrari has too much straight line speed.

Charles at least got a penalty, Max got nothing when he pushed/hit Charles.

I think the Ferrari's will be the favorite next year, they were at the start of this year too, just depends if Merc can better the 19 car from its current quali pace.
