    Race of the season!

    Awesome Sainz / Norris at the end, and points for Lawson.

    Brilliant stuff

        After watching a bit of Drive to Survive, I totally agree. I did not realise how much having commercial backers who will bring money to the team matters. Lawson is a very talented driver with much less backing. But either way he will be a success, whether it be for AT or RB in future, another F1 team, or in Indy car or anyone else who will pay drivers to race

          He's Japanese in a team with Honda engines. The person to move on would be Ricciardo, but they probably want him for car development.

            He's still a RB academy driver. But when he leaves, if he doesn't get a seat with them he's put himself out in the shop window if other teams are looking for a talented young driver who can earn points. He took 3 races to get 2 points, Tsunoda has accumulated 3 points after racing every GP this season

              Lawson qualified 11th just edged out of Q3 by Alonso

              He didn’t out qualify his teammate this time - Tsunoda 9th

                  Verstappen strolls to victory again. Looks like he's going to win the championship in the spring race on Friday, that'll be a shit spectacle

                          Yup. It's all about the money. Good thing is Lawson has put himself firmly in the shop window for top level drives. It'll be F1 or Indycar, but the likelihood is the kid from Pukekohe will get paid soon

                            Yeah was it almost twenty laps or something? Brilliant. Odds on that bet would've been phenomenal.

                                It's a travesty that he doesn't get to drive next year. But F1 is not about ability, it's all about the money

                                  Not sure that's true. Yes, there are a few there on money, but the best drivers in the world are in F1, no question.

                                  Brendon Hartley has had a huge amount of success but he was around a second a lap slower than his team mate.

                                  Lawson wlll get a permanent F1 drive for sure based on his Alpha Tauri drives.

                                      @canefan most definitely not talking about Stroll. Him and Sargent are a joke.

                                        Sargent is the worst thing in F1 since Mazepan

                                          Outstanding driving by Piastri on lap 6 to defend 2nd. One of the moments of the season for me
