So many feelings RN. Gutted for George. Thrilled for Sergio.

(How pissed off is Lance BTW)

I definitely shed a tear for George. I hope Lewis is not well enough to race in Abu Dhabi so George can have another go and finally get some points, a podium and maybe the win. He deserves another go and Mercedes not to duck it up for him.

Though I am delighted for Perez and Ocon, both did brilliant jobs, deserved win for Perez who absolutely should be replacing Albon,, and great job by Ocon, who will need to be at the top of his game next year against Alonso.
i genuinely don’t think lewis is actually ill lol
i think they’re just putting bottas under pressure and seeing how george performs

Hamilton is the one who is out of contract though. I would die laughing if Mercedes decided to sign Russell instead of paying £40m a year for Hamilton. I know it won't happen, but it would be funny.

Bottas definitely needs to show something special next season because him and Russell will both be out of contract, so Russell will be banging on Toto's door saying give me a seat. So Bottas could be Perezed unless Hamilton decides to retire after next year.

Ah gutted there for George, Mercedes looked like rookies with those pitstops today! Shambles.

Did have something in my eye though when Sergio crossed the line and was all choked up on the radio bless him. ❤

They're talking now about George possibly being disqualified 🙁.

Merc fined 20k euros. George keeps his points. Thank god. I’m furious.

My husband is convinced it was all a conspiracy and they screwed the pit stop on purpose to not piss off Hamilton 🙄
Good race though. I was thrilled for Perez and loved seeing George pulling some decent overtakes. Shows he’s a great driver, especially considering he’s a bit squished in that car.

I read Hamilton will have to get special permission to enter Abu Dhabi as due to their Covid restrictions the last day for entry is today but the earliest Hamilton can fly in is the 9th, so that’s an interesting one. I really hope George gets another race and Merc don’t mess up the stops this time.

i’m excited to see how seb interacts with him too, almost a father son combo
I did see a quote a few months back from Mick that was along the lines of ‘My dad was a big mentor for Seb when he joined F1, and I sort of have that now with Seb’

It was really heartwarming:cry:

After seeing Checo win yesterday, and a long-time (circa 2007) fan of Seb’s through thick and thin, I am VERY much looking forward to next season:devilish:

He’s isn’t gonna win the championship or anything, but he should be up there getting good results and podiums.

And who knows in 2022, rumours of Toto going to Aston, could be a Merc 2.0:unsure:

Toto also has shares in Mercedes F1. Though AM will need more than just Toto to take them to the top. Will need some top designers as well to reach that next level, because photocopying last year's Mercedes isn't gonna work. Especially 2022 with the new regs.

Helmet Marko has ruined enough young drivers alreasy, he can keep his hands off George Russell. Who I think would actually be more than a match for Verstappen. And Max wouldn't like that.

I see Lewis has been saying today that he has started training and working hard to get in the car this weekend.

That’s all well and good, but if you can’t show a negative test in time, it’s a bit redundant 🤷‍♀️ - IDK it all sounded a little weird, like he thinks he can sweat the virus out or something!

He has been symptomatic, so I think it’s a close call for the weekend
