Seriously?!

Nope didn't see any of the actual action.
F1 race direction has been a shitshow for longer than i care to remember.
The "watch person as they cross line to win" thing is absolutely chronic. They should do it in a picture-in-picture or something.
edit: jeezus hulk
The only action was Bottas overtaking cars lapping 3 seconds slower than the dominant Mercedes, so no.
What's even the point of him making stuff up?
It was mainly Ferrari's strategy fuck up allowing Max to get second place back.
Hulk deserves so much better. And wtf, ending the season in December is freaking ridiculous. We're turning into NASCAR starting next season, except the teams need 747s to move shit around and not just a pair of trailers.
Ferrari has the meatiest engine currently, though.
Did he forget to turn the pitlane map off like Monaco?
Red Bull finishes season with no engine related DNFs 😮
When was the last time that happened?
An engine is much more than just power. Weight for example has a massive impact on the chassis, drivability , reliability and efficiency are also key aspects. Mercedes is ahead here. Ferrari has the best engine over one lap.
Lando is just adorable.
Can't wait to see what the new season brings. Hopefully we'll see a lot of these younger drivers come into their own.
And ofc I'm hoping we'll see some competition in the front rows, but I can't be too hopeful for that :P

I wouldn't be so optimistic about 2021 guys. History shows that with every shake up there is one team ahead of everyone else ( 88, 92, 2005, 2009 , 2014 anyone? ).
No one is expecting it to fix everything, but it would at least be different! And the idea is to continuly keep making improvements from there. It'll also take a couple years for the budget capping and better prize money distribution to take better effect.
One of the intentions behind the changes in 2021 is to reduce the gap between front and back in general. They want it to be about tenths rather than seconds. A situation where a particularly good quali lap can put anyone in the top handful.
I agree! This, to me, was perfect evidence to drop DRS altogether.
Well that was a fun first season! Been listening to Alt/Shift-F1 for ages now but Drive to Survive pushed me to try and watch it and most of the races were at perfect times for me. Really enjoyed lurking around here reading much more knowledgable people argue about Ferrari and Mercedes. See you all next season!
They said these things many times in the past. Wanting =/ Achieving. We have to wait and see if the FIA will be able to stop every loophole exploits.
Of course. It's still very much understandable people are looking forward to the changes.
Yep, so many of the best overtakes this year have happened in the sidebar with no replay. The direction has been a joke, there's no point going to great lengths trying to improve the spectacle on a technical level if asshat directors are just going to butcher it anyway.
We get to see the good stuff in YouTube highlights a few days after the race. Makes me wonder why I even pay to watch the races.
A train of a Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull behind a Renault is not good evidence to drop DRS. It only improved this race because it was unplanned for.
DRS is absolutely included for 2021, they plan to evaluate it at the end of the first season to see if it's still required.

Boring championship with one team dominating. Glad F1 provided some more juicy battles this year.
Congrats to Sainz for winning the Formula 1.5. Championship. Well deserved.
Grosjean is a fucking disgrace. This hack still has a seat while others don't...
