Because of all of the potential penalties, it is imperative that Norris is ahead of the 3 drivers also under investigation for start infringement.

 

[GlamFM]

No need to really push too effin hard ( FIA come at me! ) officials gonna keep pressing the safety button.

when max gets a 15 sec lead, gonna need a red flag and an oopsie on restart

I don’t think that’s fair. Almost all FIA decisions in the last race and this weekend up until the race were to Max’s disadvantage.

True, I'm not saying they don't keep up the theatrics for dramatic flair.

 

[RACECAR]

Well GGs on the championship, Max. Mclaren has not remembered how to compete for a championship and Lando just ISN'T championship material right now.

On to 2025 then...

 

[xDriver69x]

But at least now folks will know why Alpine is on the TrakRacer sim piloting apparatus...

More so if Ocon can make a 7 second late lunge..... 🤣

And through goes Hamilton!

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Lawson bullying Perez is pretty entertaining. 😅

 

[xDriver69x]

No Max in Driver of the Day? Lollipop man so on point.

 

[Blitz24]

So, unless we see multiple DSQs (would Mercedes tire pressure changing merit one?), Bottas will likely miss out on points.

I expect a double DSQ for Mercedes, so Bottas needs Bearman to Oliver his way off the track one last time.

 

[GlamFM]

Terrible race overall. What a waste of a Sunday.
Rain and modern day F1 just doesn’t mix.

 

[egl92]

Last time two Renault/Alpine were on the podium Japan 2006 (Fisichella and Alonso)

 

[Veinz]

Well that was an absolute clinic. At least the WCC is still close.

 

[Blitz24]

1. Verstappen (FL)
2. Ocon
3. Gasly
4. Russell*
5. Leclerc
6. Norris*
7. Tsunoda*
8. Piastri - after penalty.
9. Lawson*
10. Hamilton*
11. Perez
12. Bearman

All those with asterisks pending penalties.

 

[Rossell2]

Fair play to him. The Maxbots are going to be bloody insufferable though. Onto 2025 then..

 

[PaMu1337]

If I'm not mistaken, if Lando does not gain 3 points on Max next race, it's over.

So effectively, it's over now.

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Everything's coming up Verstappen.

I need to scrub this race from my brain. Frustrating day to be rooting for McLaren.

Congrats to Ocon and Gasly on their double podium. Nice double points finish for Tsunoda and Lawson. Huge day for all four of them.

Can't wait to check back in a few hours to see how all the infringements sort out all the dumb.

 

[Blitz24]

If I'm not mistaken, if Lando does not gain 3 points on Max next race, it's over.

Depending on what the penalty is today, it might already be over. Likely won't be over though.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

The highlight of the race is Alpine. They're going to celebrate as if they won the championship.

I don't think it can be

Still a possible penalty to come too, could be over tonight.

Who had an Alpine double podium on their bingo card for this race/season/ruleset/decade?

Lando is lucky not to lose 3 spots on a (re)start.

It's over. Verstappen would have to pull a 2007 Hamilton.

It won't be over. Even if Lando scores 0 points, he still has a theoretical chance. But then he'd need to gain 13 points on Max next race (and win everything afterwards without Max scoring a single point)

 

[PaMu1337]

It's over. Verstappen would have to pull a 2007 Hamilton.

Realistically, yes it's over already. Just talking about theoretical chances here. Max may well be champion next race.

Edit: I just thought about the possibility of a championship winning celebration in Vegas. It will be way too over the top.

 

[AshenGraey]

Alright WDC is over now. Let's see what happens with the WCC moving forward.

 

[Veinz]

It was an entertaining race but I'm still pretty salty about that SC. The 4 or 5 cars that made the right call and went to wets got robbed.

86 points maximum in 2024 left

Meh, if it's wet enough to need to pit for the full wet, then there's a very high percentage that it's wet enough for the safety car, as the 2 seemingly go hand in hand in recent years.

 

[MagpieRacer]

86 points maximum in 2024 left

And a 62 point gap.

Edit: that result throws Alpine ahead of RB and Haas and into P6 in the championship.

 

[Rossell2]

Well the extra money Alpine win from going up in the WCC will surely be welcomed by the engine department... Wait.
