In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Very good race from Lewis, taking the championship to the wire, perfect stuff.
That was funny. Told he made up 20 places "it was actually 25" 
Adding his qualifying and the race together, that's one of the great F1 performances

What a drive by Hamilton. Of course the new engine helped massively, especially on this circuit, but he absolutely nailed this race.
nah i’m not having that. his biggest mistakes either cost him (out of the race) or he got penalised for it.
Unbelievable effort by Hamilton this weekend. That was superbly tense through the middle to last third of the race.
That shit was intense
Probably one of the most complete drives from Hamilton this weekend, reminiscence of the infamous GP2 race in Turkey in 2006.
That was as close to a gladiator battle we've seen to date. Phenomenal
Incredible drive all weekend. Brilliant race
Yeah it was tense, but Lewis had everything go right today after everything going wrong at the start of this weekend.
I thought the dirty air and Max getting DRS from lapped cars in front like last time would come into it again, but in the end it didn't work out for him this time. Mercs (Lewis) were just too strong.
if it was just the car then bottas should have won comfortably.
First race I've watched for a few years. Incredible from Hamilton.
Just brilliant by Lewis. Brilliant driving. What a season
That was an incredible performance. Tremendous driving and sheer persistence by Lewis.
not a bad one to come back to!
What a race. what a season. Why does it have to end
Bottas must be the worst driver ever in a top team?
No new ICU for Bottas though, which seems like it will be the determining factor for the championship.
Wouldn't say that. He doesn't have a brand new engine every week. Verstappen still has a 14point lead too.
I dont watch it now as much as i used, but how is it that Bottas is not able to do the same in the same car? Is lewis just a miles better driver, if not the greatest ever?
Kovaleinen for me
bottas engine isn’t exactly old. he was 7 places ahead and ended up how many seconds behind?
The drama this season has been off the charts
It's been gladiatorial. Would not have been the same if Max didn't get his elbows out.
Wonder how much wear that new ICE has now after 71 laps at that pace in that heat.
They'll hope it'll do at least the next 2 races and then maybe have to put one of the older ones in for the final race.

Heikki Kovalainen in the McLaren always has that title. Maybe Perez at McLaren in 2013.
They usually get between 5-7 races per ICE. Wolff was saying on Saturday that they don't think they will need any other ICE's this season for Hamilton.
The people whining about Verstappen clearly too young to have ever seen Schumacher drive
Yep. Was saying how much Max reminds me a lot of Michael Schumacher.
Worth taking a 5 place penalty every race if your going to perform like that
Great race in a great season. Fantastic to see the top 2 battling like that, and while it's not ultimately the guy I want to see win, I appreciate it keeping things interesting into the the final few races. Superb weekend by Hamilton though.
Great drive by Lewis.
How has Max not got a penalty for running him off the track? I think we have seen his true colours, once again.

We'll see but I think Hamilton will win all the remaining races unless something changes.
Red Bull are adamant that whilst the new engine helps this straight line is something more hence the rear wing talk. They and Honda have all the data points to know where the difference is.
Otherwise just take a new 5 grid penalty every race and fly by - the next few races all have long straights.
This race would have been much more comfortable for Mercedes if Bottas had managed to hold on to first place for 2-3 laps at the start
He could take one in the next race though couldnt he?
5 place grid penalty is a small price to pay if its gonna get him 3 tenths a lap
I can't wait for Russell in the Merc next season and against Hamilton. Right now Bottas and Perez show how great Max and Hamilton really are.
Huge respect to Lewis as a driver. Huge performance all weekend.
BUT he never fails to irk me on a personal level. feck off with the Brazilian flag on the podium. Sure tell the fans how much you love them and that you’re Senna’a biggest fan, but standing on top of the podium listening to the British national anthem draped in the Brazilian flag - nah mate.
