    Interesting to note that Schumacher’s early wins, and first championship win in 1994, were with Benetton, using a Ford 3.5L V8 engine. His next championship in 1995 was also with Benetton, but using a Renault 3.0L V10.

    He switched to Ferrari in 1996, but didn’t win the championship again until 2000, and went on to win another four times with Ferrari.
    Alea jacta est!
  • Hamilton can lock up his 7th championship this weekend

  • Well the slip n slide of the Turkey Grand Prix is over and no better way to capture his 7th Championship. Hamilton once again showed that his knowledge of his car was better than the rest. And no one can say he had the best car, as he came from 6th position and simply out drove the rest of the field and finish 30sec ahead of the rest.

  • Romain Grosjean Bahrain 2020 ?

    The halo and the firesuit, he might think about sending the design teams an early Christmas present.
    Amazing.

    All eyes are going to be on George Russell (Mr. Saturday) to see what he can do in the champs car.
    He has shown good qualifying form in the pos Williams so if he doesn't qualify in the front 2 rows it will be a disappointment.
    DiResta is predicting front row or even pole but Bottas will not want to lose pole so he will be digging deep to avoid that embarrassment.

    Massive pressure for Russell but it is his time to shine for sure.

    Aitken & Fittipaldi will get a chance to showcase their skills as well.
    Should be an interesting race weekend at least to watch the replacement drivers and how they perform in a "new to them" car.

  • The Merc engineers/pit crew screwed the pooch on this one. They had a for sure win for Russell and Bottas had 2nd or 3rd locked up with a normal pitstop (not double stacked), just a major brain ****.

    I am glad Toto admitted that the team fugged up and lost the win and podium for Russell and Bottas respectively.

    Give Russell a competitive package to race and he is going to make some waves. Not bad for a kid who was still asking where things were on the car during the sighting lap!

    I cracked up when Toto slipped that one past the censors.

    Great season of racing and incredible finish. I am sure people on both sides can complain about the result one way or the other but going in to the final race of the season tied was pretty incredible. I am a big Bottas fan and hoping to see him succeed with Alfa Romeo next season. Will be interesting to see how the trams stack up next season.

    I didn't watch the race and didn't realized how it ended. I need to watch a replay of the ending.

    as of the 16th, mercedes withdrew it's appeal. https://usnews.com/news/sports/articles/2021-12-16/mercedes-withdraws-appeal-of-formula-1-season-finale

    I like that Mike wanted to end the season racing, but one lap with a bending of the expected rule?
    Just finish under yellow and give it to Hamilton. He was the hot racer at the end of the season and fought back after missing a race cuz of covid and Verstappen's arguably aggressive style.
    I'm scratching my head on Alonso's suggestion of co-champions.
