You gotta love Ferrari's confidence. What a mess of a team. Stupid drivers. Stupid strategists. Stupid pit crew. Stupid principal.
Seriously they couldn't wait one lap to pit the other car? I'm ashamed to be a Ferrari fan!

I can't understand it either and the race organisers have had the DRS switched off mysteriously, a technical fault they say allowing Ham to get away.

Ferrari are clowns. Pit Leclerc as soon as he's overtaken. Very simple. Very effective. This fucking team is a joke. If a seat opens in Mercedes Leclerc will be an idiot if he doesn't go there. Ferrari will certainly fuck up his career.

Has Ham got the 2020 car in disguise?

That's how it looked like . Lewis was the whole race untouchable !
So...Congrats for Lewis

The Mercs ran outstanding . The difference in Merc power with Brazil was like day and night...

Something really strange happened with MAX in the first lap . Charles overtook MAX like he was standing still ...
MAX lost it there ...He lost like 5 seconds in a few laps !
Later in lap 28 I heard MAX had a massive handbrake effect ?

There's a FIA cloud over Leclerc's race..
“There is/was a significant difference between the declaration of the team and the amount of fuel inside the Ferrari !

No one was ever within 1 sec of ham starting the 2nd lap even if there was
Drs enabled, untouchable today

it was sad to see another season end but it was a perfect way to end the season for Hamilton.. crazy work done by Merc as a team, and even if you like it or not, we re witnessing a history really..

Lec was doing his best again while Vettel was a hollow man again.. tears from Norris' engineer and Norris himself was nice.. but its really bad that Hulk wont be on the grid next season.. and never seen Max talking on the radio this much.. shorter shorter replies came from the team towards the end until one word..

It was turbo lag for Max I think but in the end he adjusted controls and got past Chas.The Ferraris looked like last years cars today and their double wastegate didn't help them. .

Horner has warned it's bad for Chas if there is a 'substantial' discrepancy.Depends how big or small it is if there actually is one.

Maybe or maybe not but what is clear is that the 'jet-mode' he was referring previously to another team was omni present with his car today.

Congrats to Max.
You know what my friend it appears Merc can turn their cars up or down at will and only Max comes close now with superior traction out of the tight turns also look at Bottas slicing through the field as if the others are standing still for a prov. 4th,it is more than the engine.

[yco]

was the engine stall at the end of the Max's donut? since he left the car and walked? end of the video was cut also making me think probably it was..

nice conversations on the radio..

Chas keeps third place, phew for him. Ferrari fined 50k euro for being 5kg of fuel out and they can afford it I know but still a big fine for getting the sums wrong.

To me , this whole Ferrari situation is suspicious !
FIA has to wake up ! *Why* was there more fuel required in the Ferrari ?
50K Euro's is like peanuts for Ferrari anyway....

I guess they maybe wanted to see if they would get away with it or some kind of 'precursor' action to the extra fuel pressure gauge coming soon.

Slap on the wrist for Ferrari, for what was clearly a breach of the fuel regulations.

I agree with Horner, it warranted a disqualification.

According Binotto :

“I don’t think there is very much to explain. There has been a discrepancy between measurements. We are simply waiting for a decision and we don’t know much.”

“We believe that our measurements are all correct,” he added. “So there is one measurement which is not correct.”

The FIA introduced random checks of car’s pre-race fuel weight at the beginning of the season to ensure they comply with the maximum limit of 110kg of fuel per race. Teams have to declare how much fuel they have put in their cars. When Leclerc’s car was checked in Abu Dhabi, it was found to contain almost 4.88kg more than the declaration.

Binotto said his team’s cars have had their fuel weights checked on many previous occasions with no problems. “I think this year we have been checked at least 10 times,” he said. “It’s not the first time, we’ve always been OK and today we got a discrepancy.”

Well....I wonder where the Jet-Mode was ?
