Max must have a mechanical defect in his brakes..

It's gonna be close.
I hope it doesn't end in a DNF

Max wins!
Despite brake problems and despite mediocre qualifying.
Well done!

And TSU gets fastest lap and finishes in the points. Who would've thought that!

Yes . But the Belgian Malinois dog breed is even worse . This dog is used by the elite Navy seals and worldwide warfare ....

Sometimes I walk with one from my friend . I can tell you , these dogs are like true war machines !

Nerves of steel !

So Checo's lead over Hammy in the WDC is now only 19 points.
In 1 weekend Hammy reduced the gap with 11 points.

With 4 races to go, Checo's mediocre performance and MERC finding more speed in their cars....my money is on Hammy, not Checo.....

Checo did his best but maybe will reduce HAM's gain in Mexico.

Sure my friend . But the new 2024 Mercedes floor has proved something today !
LEW was with the new floor suddenly damn fast . Extremely fast !

On the other hand : MAX got for a half race serious brake issues , he brakes were cooking and were fading !
Something was really wrong with his brakes . It was a miracle that he managed to bring it home ..
I think we heard that from MAX in the race as well ..

M5Rick · 10-22-2023, 05:20 PM

Max 466
Sergio 238
Lew 219

Mexico next weekend.

If Verstappen hadn't fought till the finish (hard tires), Hamilton would have won (medium tires), reducing the Perez-Hamilton gap with an additional 7 points.

AlphaTauri sent out both its drivers to get the Fastest Lap. Ricciardo made it but outside the points (P17). In the end Tsunoda made it (P10).

Mexico next weekend.

When Verstappen was boed during the post-race interview and podium ceremony, a Belgian TV journalist said that Verstappen will get additional protection during the Mexico race weekend. Atmosphere could be hostile for him down in Mexico. He will need to hunker down, only do the required PR work, race and get out of there asap to Brazil (aka Kelly Piquet land).

Rumors were denied that during the Mexico race weekend Perez will announce to retire from F1 at the end of this season + that a Perez celebration would be in the works.

A Belgian TV journalist also heard in the paddock that drivers are considering to use winter gloves during the Las Vegas race weekend (Nov 16-18) because of low temperatures at night.

I used winter gloves for my cycling today though it's difficult to imagine it gets that cold in Las Vegas, at least it will keep those car brakes cooler.

Let the stewards give Lance at least just one break.
