I had been thinking the same. Had Hamilton won that record 8th title, he’d have absolutely nothing left to prove and a record that stands for many years to come. Now what? He can still compete for that title, but nobody knows how the new regs will play out, who will have the best cars next year, etc. And there’s the…

And I’m getting annoyed still six days later of Random Internet Commenter saying Max’s isn’t a real title because the FIA gave it to him, as if he was supposed to not race the last lap, however it came about.

They were definitely in the background in these last two specials.   There were actually a number of minor characters in the background, I spotted Mimsy at the end of this one.

I want that first green cube-like one. I don’t know why, but I do.

I have a small wager with my brother that Russell will finish ahead of Hamilton in the points and usher in his decline.

Perhaps so, but he’s still not a socialist.

None of which makes him a socialist.

Carlos is a smooooooth operator, and this was the year he climbed atop the list of my favourite current F1 drivers. I really hope Ferrari can put together a more competitive car for 2022, he and Chuck battling with the Red Bulls and Mercedes would be great.

But I agree, pumpkin does not need to be in everything.

I’m fairly sure Trump could publicly read The Communist Manifesto word-for-word and Republicans would eat it up.

I cannot look away, damn thing is mesmerizing.

I’d rather have a Trabant than a Cybertruck.

I’m not the world’s biggest Spider-Man fan, but I casually watched the Tobey Maguire films recently, then washed the bad taste of 3 out with Into the Spider-Verse, that’s pretty much how I’d rank them too.

What is this guy commuting in, a tank?

Have you never had or made a good fruit cake?

Thank god f1 brought some excitement back.

Wow, you’re not wrong.  Chuck’s quietly had a lot of 4-5 finishes, but what fooled my brain was Sainz’s four podiums to Chuck’s one. 

Also... P3 for the Smooooooooooooth Operator! Sainz has seriously out-performed Chuck this year, solid work from him.
