Check out
Horner's reaction to the last lap....
Also, Carlos Sainz got his Ferrari podium and as usual barely anyone noticed... he finshed ahead of Lando/Riccardo AND Lecrerc in the WDC.
He said the other day he finally retired his mk6 gti this year! haha (he is one of ours)
Leclerc had tons of bad luck this year, and Im the first to call Leclerc one of the top drivers, but Carlos showed him what a
smooth operator he is.
Remember, he was Max's teammate for a couple of years at Torro Rosso and more than held his own...
Ferrari pairing looks good this year, Binotto has been talking a lot of smack too... they better deliver those drivers a good car next year!
Alpine with Fernando has been talking big too for next year.... gonna be a long winter break!
Edit: Also, it looks like
Mercedes will abort their plans to attempt an appeal... so Max is world champion for sure now....
Those have never worked out for the team anyways, they realized it would just make them look like sore loosers.... I mean they have won for 7 straight years, I think they can get over it.
A little crazy fact this season... Max finished in the
top-2 18 times this season (out of 22 races).
There 4 races where he did not: The 2 DNFs crashing with Lewis (Silverstone and Monza), his tire blow out in Baku and the 1st lap chaos in Hungary with Bottas running into the back of him (managed 9th with damage)
Pretty insane.
