Seemed like the rain really helped Lewis this past week-end. Kinda felt bad for Lando. I think he could have won that race.

Big week end in Texas for Red Bull. Looking forward to Miami next year (except that it's in August). Will be attending that one in person.

Yeah I was curious if their strategy would pay off, but Max found a way to make the tires last.

I'm a Max fan, so it's good to see him extend his lead.

I just really started following F1 about a year ago and have become a Max (Red Bull) fan. I drive a Honda so.....the wife has a Mercedes so she is a fan of Lewis. 😒

Another Red Bull week-end. It's going to be interesting in Brazil. I'm in the process of trying to get tickets for the Miami race next year. I would really like to see an F1 race.

Rooting for Red Bull and Max. Double world championship? They still have to overtake the Mercedes constructor lead.

Bummer Checo couldn't nip Lewis at the end there.

Max is 19 up on Lewis.

Mercedes is only 1 point up on Red Bull.

Wow, massive blow to Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton. Go Max!

Max gave Lewis plenty of room to pass there.

I love it!

Should be an exciting finish this week. My sister recently moved to Austria, so I'm trying to convince the wife to make a trip over there to see a race. So far....no dice. 😒

I was glad to see it. I don't think Max got a lot of luck earlier this year (his puncture springs immediately to mind, a lap or two from the end when he was leading by a bunch), and Lewis wrecked Max out earlier in the year without taking himself out too, and Lewis also ran Max off the road in the chicane (when Max ended up on top of Lewis's car), so… Max was the better driver all year, despite Merc being once again the (slightly) better car.

It will be interesting next year to see what engine that Red Bull will run. I believe that this was Honda's last year?
