Gulp. Hopefully alonsos front left holds up
They don’t test here do they, this will be the last time at this circuit
I fear for Alonso
What's going on, another puncture.
What's that 4 or so front lefts to give out?
Tyres going all over the place!
The curbs are rough
Had a great start, and Norris was defending from Sainz which left a wide open space for him to charge into.
Bottas had a horrendous start too, so Max was up 3 places by turn 3.
Did not think that rough.
Hamilton needs the fast lap. Something could happen yet
Vsc damn. No fast lap!
Alonso 3rd with that VSC
VSC should just about confirm Alonso in 3rd. I’m quite surprised they didn’t go for a full SC to try and make the last lap hectic
Its going to finish under the safety car isn't it
The VSC is far more 'fair', but it's total shit as a spectacle. At least an actual safety car adds some drama.
I imagine they might have just ended the race under SC in that case.
Good for the title battle, easy for Lewis today.
Nice podium for Alonso.
Easy win for Lewis, expected 2nd for Max
Easy win for Lewis, expected 2nd for Max
Decent race, though Lewis and Max just in a class of their own. They just vanish of the front.
Great to see Alonso back on the podium. A true great.
He is the antithesis to Bottas.

So pleased for Alonso. Very well deserved podium and driver of the day.
Max lead down to 8 which is still significant with just the 2 races.
Seconded.
Sneaky swear word from Alonso there
He deservers a podium, still great to watch him race.

Thirded
Christ Toto instantly gets on my nerves when he opens his mouth. No charisma, very unlikeable character. Is that in the job description for team bosses? Though Zak Brown seems like a decent guy judging by the few interviews I've seen
Looks like Hamilton needs to finish the season with 4 wins. Going to be tough.
He's nowhere near the level of Horner, but he can be irritating no doubt.

What did he say? I missed it cos the wife put the kettle on. Brilliant podium for him, the guy has still got class.
Yeah, he seems to be just enjoying it now and having fun racing.
Cmon now, Horner wears pinky rings and he might be a smug twat, but Der Toto ist in a league of his own
Man talks to poor Bottas like he's an actual dog...
Saudi track looks good for merc.
But Abu Dhabi especially in daytime heat looks like it could be more even.
Factor in protests about wings... protests about protests and it has the potential to be the best finish to the season in years
Surely we all want Hamilton 1st with fastest lap and Max 2nd in Saudi so they go into the last race level on points?
If both finish on equal points, whoever won more GPs takes it, no? Who's leading in that regard?
Probably doesn't matter too much. Max has most wins.
Horner summoned for sporting conduct
Max I think
Hard to imagine a scenario where it comes down to that though if they both finish the races in podium positions for the next 2 GPS (which unless there is an incident looks likley)

Nah Horner is by far and away the worst. Bottas has had 5* treatment compared to Albon and Gasly.
