'Can we start with the beer first' no no VAL lol . Being LEW's lap dog for those years have not done him any favours and he deserves more than being just a reserve driver for Merc. Binotto should re-think and keep him on K Sauber for '25 with Hulkenberg than taking on wild card Bortoleto.

Yeah. And at Vegas Lando has to deal with even more pressure as he knows MAX just needs 24 WDC points in the last 3 races to nail the Championship .

IMHO. Lando really s@cked in the rain , he lost it there and his self-confidence as well.
Lando had zero chance vs MAX in the heavy rain. Actually no one had a chance because MAX is unbeatable in the rain (!)

It looked to me that some desperate driving was taking over with Lando from the moment RUS jumped him then it gradually went downhill for him more as his engineer was telling him over the radio of MAX's progress and lets face it as well as his stellar pace cutting through the field MAX was due some good luck also with the red flag free tyre stop at the right moment.

Nov 3: race director Niels Wittich was criticized for his red flag antics during the F1 Brazil qualies.

"Christian Horner left in confusion after ‘hugely frustrating’ FIA red flag call"
https://www.planetf1.com/news/christ...zil-qualifying
"Lance Stroll’s late crash played a part in both Red Bulls exiting in Q2 but it was the decision of race director Niels Wittich that ultimately decided their fate. (...)
With a little under two minutes left in Q2, Stroll crashed at Turn 3 but it took 40 seconds for race director Wittich to signal the red flag, appearing to allow the likes of Norris to set a flying lap before neutralising the event."

Nov 12: race director Niels Wittich "resigns with immediate effect", but claims that he was fired by FIA

"F1 Race Director Niels Wittich to step down"
https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/a...yeUNcM2mw2pXEv

"Niels Wittich: FIA confirms immediate departure of F1 race director with Rui Marques named replacement"
https://www.skysports.com/f1/news/12...ed-replacement

"F1 race director Niels Wittich shockingly quits role with immediate effect"
https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/formu...-exit-34092241

The story got a weird twist as Wittich declared in the meantime that he didn't decide at all to resign, but that he was fired by FIA.

"FIA trennt sich von Formel-1-Rennleiter: Niels Wittich mit sofortiger Wirkung weg"

Due to torrential rain on Saturday, the Brazil qualies were postponed to race day (Sunday). After finishing the Sunday morning qualies, Tsunoda's race engineer told Tsunoda via onboard radio something like "Yuki, P3 tomorrow. Good job!". I recall saying: "Nah, the race is in a couple of hours". Lollipopman picked it up, joking about the mistake: 2:22-2:23 and 7:48-7:54.

Lollipopman also cleverly picked up the brief encounter in the paddocks between Stefano Domenicali and Lewis Hamilton (00:55-1:02). Domenicali gave a quick interview in front of a garage, stating that the qualies were postponed to Sunday because of wet track conditions, bad weather and fainting daylight. Hamilton was nearby and started warmly embracing and pulling Domenicali, whilst saying something like "We really want to go out. Give us proper full wets and some blankets and we can go out and race even in this rain".
