I love Leclerc's shakey voice on team radio when he went into the gravel :) "Something i-i-is bro-o-o-o-ken"
Hahahaha it was like Gasly's radio in practice in Canada when he said I have "vibr-a-a-a-a-tions"
Its bwoken
He was preparing for the Ferrari experience
And it's lights out and away the championship goes...
Vettel had the pace to win this race. Such a shame to trash the championship like that
@@raenkumi4685 too many pole errors (strategy and bad luck too) and too many race collision
@@shadow6687 with the best car most part of the season......and now he most be careful because Bottas maybe isn't so far has he probably thinks on the championship, because Mercedes is awayyyyy faster on this part of the season....
Man... that intension to overtake Max was so wrong....
+JonasZF Ferrari had the best car until FIA "revealed" what they did. So basically until summer break which is half the season. That's not the most part

hulkenberg was right
Savage and an absolute truth.
Anyone heard Magnussen's team radio? I couldn't stop laughing, i hope it features in the best team radios video.
(It was something like "he drove into my back" - "yeah we saw, its ridicilous")
Max wanted Kimi to wait for him????? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
What he was trying to say was he should've done the switchback and overtook him thatbway rather than going round the outside
@George listen closely, he said "he could've easily waited for me, to come back". He didn't say anything about switchbacks and other VS, because for crashstappen, everything is "unbelievable"
@@yioulipa7234 What he means by that us that he comprimised himself by trying to go round the outside.
@@george4821 I doubt Rai thought max would park it on the apex after missing the corner and then carry on crossing over the racing line.

I am disappointed in my decision three years ago to write this comment.

Thats is so unfunny
My laugh got delayed.
If you take out the top 3 teams F1 would actually have entertaining battles for wins/championships. Props to the B class.
True words
Ya, but it wouldn't be f1
Never seen you here before, probably because your normally late
3 drivers with the same points with 4 races to go!
top teams are scumbags
Yall remember when Hulkenburg awarded Magnessun as the most unsporting driver on the grid? Yeh he was not joking
Hahaha he got the same award by leclerc today
Haas needs new drivers I keep saying it!
@@mtinfinity7845 Grosjean has begun to be fine. Hes no dangerous proximity mine anymore while Magnussen clearly is
German commentators said that no drivers showed up on his birthday back on friday and wished him a happy birthday. So i guess he's not very famous on the grid. And this moved showed us why
"Magnussen is and will always be stupid, it is a fact"
A fact 😂😂
A shame.

Crazy how much max has changed over two years
so so lol
not really. might be a bit less tempered off track but on track, he still does all those overly aggreesive moves
Still looks so much the same to me
Yea, he’s matured massively. Calmer, looking more to the long game. Earned him the championship.
@@ploppyjr2373 complete nonsense, he caused 5 collisions in 21 and pushed Hamilton off track at least 6 other times. He is still crashstappin
*i love the highlights you guys produce but.... is there any chance in the future you guys could add a quick 10-15second rundown segment of the starting grid positions before the "lights go out" always feel like I need to refresh my mind on race day. Just an idea lol thanks guys*
You can watch the qualify video.
Broontango 3.0 agreed. They would be useful. Plus 7 minutes is a bit miserly, how about 15 mins?
tree267 go watch the whole race lol this is just for the actual action nothing more nothing less
tree267 there isnt 15 minutes worth pf highlights for f1 races. 7 is more than enough. Just watch the race
Qualifying Highlights + Racing Highlights. Or: Just google it.
brilliant drive from ricciardo from 15th to 4th
Danny Ric, we can depend on him.
Yea he should've got a podium but hey great drive
About time. He's been destroyed by Verstappen since after Monaco.
With both Ferrari damage and all backmarkers ? Is not that hard for a red bull and it wans't fast or somthing
A hate fueled charge is always the fastest one. Good to see him gather himself up after that disasterous qualifying
0:35 that's a beautiful view!
Watching the two Red Bull’s of Verstappen and Riccardo flying really was a sight to see.
Verstappen is a real bull whenever he sees the red color he goes crazy
Comment of the season.
Max did just fine.
Bulls are color blind, you stupid
Then let‘s just say, that Vettel turned now into a Torpedo
Ha ha, good comment. He never wanted to go to Ferrari but show Mercedez he is their helping hand
Joke's on us, Vettel was doing aarava's "Last to ? Challenge".
And had no flashbacks :/

Oh yup sure Kimi will graciously hold back and let Max come back on the track
Max's excuses are more stupid than his actions
the guy is an idiot
Libra Scale but really what else could max do? Go on the breaks full on? Piss off he did what everybody would do.
he could've gone on the left part of the track, but decide to go to the right part of the track and so blocking Kimi
@@Kysen10 an entitled idiot, comes across very arrogant.
This is so much better than watching the full GP, thanks :)
You see.. Max did get the same penalty as seb in 2019 Canada
That won't matter to people who actually think that there's a conspiracy against Ferrari. There's nothing that the FIA would like more than for the most recognizable brand in motorsports to actually be competitive. But that doesn't mean they should get a pass on things likes this just to make them competitive.
Yeah but Max spanked Kimi on the side and he affected massively his race...and one more think, he didnt do it in grass, he locked up and he decided on his own to cut the chicane.
Plus there is a dedicated route in that corner that forces drivers who miss the chicane to follow it and not cut it like Max did.
@@82Jaster no idea what you are talking about. Ferrari having success is good for the sport as there is a huge Ferrari following all over the world. Ferrari not winning makes a lot of fans turn off.
@@fireup9224 That's what I was saying. Some are convinced that FIA making this ruling was part of an anti-Ferrari conspiracy. But that makes no sense because Ferrari is the biggest brand in motorsports. So FIA would love nothing more than for that brand to be competitive against Mercedes.
Anyone else watch the highlights just so they can see the comments?
Jup, always :)
The fanboys are always part of the show
Yup.
Yes. The Vettel and fans make it entertainment.
Yeah I am, and you're in the way bro
Daniel’s charge from 15th to 4th was insane though, past both Ferrari’s.
He passed because Kimi had a damaged car and Seb spun.
you're trying to take away quality from Daniel's race but instead you just show us what ferrari is all about. Spinning.
Sheev Palpatine WEll it wasn't Kimi's fault. But it surely was Seb's!
Sheev Palpatine no I’m not. Ric had a great race, but I’m just saying facts.
Just shows how good the midfield competition is
Finally a race worth watching.... The mid field was just crazy good
Verstappen certainly earns his nickname Crashstappen!
Yup back then lol
@blue man Yes mate, you're right we need more people like you to spread the word
@blue man Thanks man
This year's midfield is bonkers, honestly! Awesome racing!
yeah, racing for p7. hype.
Jamaly - Divider and Conqueror --- What you don't understand is that what you said is true. There are second division teams racing for those lower places. Because it means more money for the team if they rank higher in the constructors championship. So yes it is hype if they finish higher. There are races within races in F1.
I don't think you understand motorsport, Jamaly.
Jamaly - Divider and Conqueror what a cockhead of a comment. stop watching f1 if all you care about is who wins
@Reydriel Oh its awesome! If you take away the top3 teams , we would have a really fun and unpredictable world championship race!
Wow Ricciardo finally finished a race! YES GOOD JOB RED BULL!
U meen Renault 😉
No power no power box box lol
he shows that he is still one of the best when the car is ready!
Spell his name right ffs
And with the DOTD
I love Di Resta's voice and passion while commentating.
06:22 i thought 🤣 why is he wearing a watch but then i realised
Why the hell does Magnussen get away with everything? Even before his retirement, the stewards had already decided to give Max a penalty, yet Kevin got nothing for an unnecessarily dangerous move... I don't care if he ruined his own race; what he did was dangerous, and we've seen drivers go airborne like that in similar situations in the past. Just a bit shit from the FIA really...
TheF1Gamer agreed
It does show how inconsistent FIA really is and how bad formula 1 really is with penalties
Alonso gets a penalty for what? He did nothing wrong cuz Stroll came across him and Alonso had nowhere to go at all
I am an avid KMag fan and everyone in the fangroup recognizes the fact that Magnussens move was WAY too late and understands Leclercs frustrations. Although a lot of the time most of the hate is very unnessecary, I kind of get it here as it is everyone's favourite youngster and Magnussen already has a bad rep for unsafe driving. Mag gets very good results consistently but he can be a very dangerous driver at times and he needs to work on that.
@@henrywhatzal4724 Alonso pretty much went "fk that chicken, fk that 2nd chicken, fk the track, I'm just going offroad, I don't care."
well even if he did got a penalty it wouldnt matter they both are out of points so it doesnt matter much
@@henrywhatzal4724 exactly. Wtf. Why did Alonso get a penalty? He had a very good chance to get into the points but that's to the fucking FIA, he got a ridiculous 5 second penalty.
Sad race for Toro Rosso, but I am happy they finished the race! What a race! I was watching from 130R A LOT OF ACTION!
idk why, maybe wrong in the strategy?the got pace right?
Honda will be better next year
Kinopio Kinopio まさか！本当に？ （＾ν＾）
Nice
atleast their do all their best !
watching races in Suzuka Spa and Silverstone are always exciting cause of the wonderful layout and history
Glad they publish these highlights. I fell asleep after lap 20 and didn't wake up until the awards ceremony.
2:10 - stupid move by Seb.
You simply cannot aggressively overtake a guy who races against his own teammate up to a point where they crash...
Sorry but you can't overtake ANYONE like that. He was nowhere near enough to try such a move.
Do or die, u want to follow max until end of the race ? what is this call for fighting for the world championship, u want him to like Kimi ? Just follow all the races till the end
CJ MAJU JAYA ENTERPRISE yeah I’d rather do in the last chicane rather than die in spoon
Or you can wait for a few corners because you are faster anyway. Vettel is really making to many mistakes this season, maybe its the pressure maybe it's something else, I dont know.
he DIDNT NEED to pass Max on track, he already had his position because of the penalty. all he had to do was wait
Away from all the controversy about FIA and penalties; this was actually a really great and entertaining race in my opinion! We need more of this racing!
Great race great track
yes i totally agree! too many saying it was boring, they dont know racing
cos of the good track!
It was actually fun because the action in the midfield. The boring part are the front runners, where the race is decided in the first 2 laps and no strategy would help anyone there.
You were right except for Mercedes dominance, that was clearly the boring part of the race (and the last half part of this championship).
getting pumped for this weekend.
My Williams being consistent as always! 💯
Great Race from Ricciardo
LouistarTV your right. He recovered well from 15th
just average
Who was better then App?
Looks like the gods heard his scream of agony even with his visor closed
what did you expect? he stays 15th with the 3rd fastest car?
It's a measure of how dominant Lewis and Mercedes were that they hardly featured in the highlights package.
Cause their is no action in P1 and P2 pretty much whole race P3-P10 was the action
F1 Animation
Start: "And it's lights out, and away we go!"
2:32 "Oh dear oh dear oh dear."
+5s penalties for completely shoving off the Ferraris and ruining their race
imagined if he shoved Mercedes?
One Ferrari sure. Vettel? I don’t think so
Bottas = Merc wingman
Räikkönen = Ferrari wingman
Verstappen = *everybody’s wingman*
try preparation H, I hear it really works
Owan Mah Verstappen = wingman of whoever has the cash
+Owan Mah Verstappen is a Mercedes wingman, he never ever helped Ferrari, most of the times he was just battling them or ruining their race.
@@Firemarioflower the problem is that Mercedes is so far ahead that Verstappen doesn't get a chance to mess around with them. Another problem is that Ferrari always has red bulls in the way while they try to catch up to Mercedes.
I guess so. Also, Kimi isn't a wingman. They're free to race, it is clear to see.
Yesss RICCIARDO what a comeback from P15 to P4 sooo happy😁😁😁😁
4:22 now hulkenberg and Ocon have switched the cars. Hulks in the racing point and Ocon is in the Renault
Tbh I really like this race's "lights out and away we go"
Fans complain about how boring f1 is with basically same winner every race, but they should realize this shit is happening for the last 30 years. Senna/prost with mclaren, schumi with ferrari, alonso with renault, seb with red bull and now merc
2008 had loads of winners for this reason
the narrators voices is the one that makes this sport exciting because the viewer's rreacting to it...An F1 driver said that its boring, unlike before...
Hi
Uhoh. What you sad was shit. If two drivers fight for the win , its no problem. Valtteri is like , i dont wanna win and no is is doing anything good.
At least there were no stupid team order
Overall a semi good race. While the top 5 was pretty static, there was plenty of overtakes, incidents etc. in the midfield. I was expecting worse from Suzuka honestly.
it was a pretty decent race. everything outside the top 2 was bonkers
Quietly waiting for 2019 gp
Ricciardo's driving was awesome!
1000 and 1 ways of the losing the championship
- Ferrari
Vettel in particular.
See if leclerc will show them how it's done next year!
"Championship are overrated" - Ferrari 2008, 2010, 2012, 2018
ductrung3993 Lol! Didn't Ferrari won constructors on 08, though? Though, I get your point.
And 2017
What saddens me here is they have a good driver in all those seasons Massa,Alonso and Vettel
2017
2008 and 2012 should be excluded because the main breaker were crashes they had no control over. But 2010, 2017 and 2018 are defintely years were they screwed up royally. Though Vettel himself is also making mistakes left and right that's unbelievable.
2:05 Anyone noticed that Verstappen was accidentally pushed down the leaderboard when it was Vettel who was the one who lost places?
Yeah bro im also noticed that when verstappen accidentally pushed down the leaderboard after vettel collide
Who else was going to get up at 5am but instead lay in knowing this F1 channel would upload the best bits and highlights
Vettel move shows how desperate he is this season... He could easily have waited for the straight to pass Max clear and easy
Yeah, Seb is definitely outside of himself, and his racing craft and judgements have only suffered from it. With this mentality it's just about over for him...
It's not fairly easy to pass max considering how aggresive he is when it comes to people overtaking him.
Anonumos20 Thats why you should never try it at spoon, you could only make it work against a infior car and or driver.
Yeah, they said that the cars here were entering that corner at 190 mph on average there this year. That's not a smart move even against an inferior car to be honest...
Red bull years made him weak
what is Magnussen even doing in Formula 1?
He brings money, just like Stroll and a few others.
Merit is only a small part of getting a F1 seat
driving and getting good results, yet also crashing into other people because he clearly has very bad spacial awareness lol
Idk
Yeah, LEC teaching him a lesson there. Sad that nobody punished him for constantly doing that before, it had to end in a crash someday.
alonsomania 05 ditto. I have been asking myself that question for a very long time 🤔
Verstappen thinks the whole track is only mine 😆
not silverstone
Did you say the same thing in Canada 2019?
@@george4821 you can relate this to his whole career.
I would have loved to see the w11 around this track
Why max is being such a hypocrite? He said that Kimi should have waited for him to join the track and just let him go by. We all know Max would be the last driver to do so. So why he expects others to do something he himself would't do?
Dude... All drivers think like that. It's a racing mentality.
He did not say that....let him go by. Look at the inboard camera. Look at his steering wheel. He does everything to give Kimi Raikkonen space.
Why are people on the internet so dense? Max did not say he should wait and let him infront, what he meant was kimi should have waited like a second and then he should have seen where max would go.. and then he could cut into the inside of the corner and passed max easy.
butterkoira because he can make that move stick, Raikkonen cannot.
@@Sajuuk9 You mean like Singapore last year when Max took out both Ferrari's. So in that instance he should have backed off. You fucking Verstappen fanboys have as many excuses as he does.
To make it Simple
Kimi - Verstappen Incident : Verstappens fault
Vettel - Verstappen Incident : Vettels fault
Anyone claiming anything different really needs to get their eyes checked
XReflexian agreed
I think the Räikkönen - Verstappen Incident isn´t Max fault, it is a racing incident
Alexis Diego if a driver goes of track, how can it be a racing incident? You don’t race off track. Rethink that.
Exactly, when a driver leaves the track its his duty to rejoin in a safe manner. Max just flew back in and cut all the way across the track. Vettel did it properly and waited until there was space before he rejoined
Maybe it isn´t a racing incident, but if you look at Max´s Steering, he tried as much as he can to drive at the left
Miss Riccardo in the Redbull.. :(
Such a exciting race!!!
Best race of the year!
To be honest I was quite disappointed by Vettel's recent races in his performance. I know its a mix of misfortunes and mistakes here and there. But no matter what my heart will always be with Ferrari and Vettel.
Cheers mate!
Vettel can't handle pressure, he snap, he did it many times in the past. Somehow people gonna put all the blame on Ferrari, but they know the true.
Thats just not true since he has been in much more dire situations before and did well, however he knows to make the championship realistic to win he has to be risky because mechanical failure doesnt happen often in the merc team and hamilton is an extremely consistent driver.
at this point why would he care? championship was over 5 races ago....
Well just look at the 2007 championship when kimi came back from a 40 point deficit, nothing is impossible in this sport.
1:36 We need Alonsos team radio with "KARMA" !!! That fits perfect.
it's been a karma situation since silverstone when he gloated about beating lewis at home, then germany came, and let's not forget italy
Yes
Some good action in the midfield today. More than a 3 minute highlight video at least.
This race was very vibrant. Many lovely overtakes. Something we hardly saw in 2019.
2018 was a lovely season for f1. Had a classic vibrant feel to it
Maybe Magnussen will stop making these crazy moves while defending, now that he was involved in a crash, ruining Leclerc's race. Also, this was the third time this year Vettel had contact with another driver because of a desperate move ( with Bottas in France, with Hamilton in Italy and now with Verstappen).
You forgot his desperate baku lunge that lost him 3 llaces
he could win those races
Untasfasfled Formula One's "Crash Kid", as Martin Whitmarsh dubbed him. Wonder how long before Vettel is out the revolving door at Ferrari, as seems certain LeClerc will quickly out-shine him.
For me I think the pressure of working Ferrari got to him as we all know Ferrari havent won the title in 10 years now make that 11 so any driver that comes in will be expected to bring back the glory days it happened with Alonso in his Ferrari years runner up to the title a few times and then gets frustrated with the team and move on and if Vettel is to leave Ferrari I think Mercedes will pick him up cos German team-German driver.
lewis just keeps soaring higher and higher. and seb is just dropping lower and lower. Gg lewis well deserved
Hey bro,Vettel could easily pass Max in other part of the track,wanted a difficult way to pass.Is fault of Vettel.
Getting a pre-race reminder of the antics of The Spinning Seb
this season very much reminds me like 1995 season and "championship battle" between Schumacher and Hill.Schumacher and Benetton were working like clockwork while Hill and Williams were exchanging mistakes even when they had a potential straight up victory.The only differences is that here Hamilton have a stronger car and that Vettel didn't crashed him out ... yet
1:29 "What an idiot, HULKENBERG is right!"
That defense on Leclerc did not impress me. I bet Matt was RAGING when he saw this. I couldn't afford to or I'd have woken everybody up lol.
the stuff he says are nonsensical. I wish I could ask for cars to stop while I cut corners on the grass as well so I can keep my sweet poles. Fck that
Best track of them all!!
This is racing!
I get the feeling this year's (2019) race is going to be good. All three of the top teams have a chance to win it especially with Ferrari improving their aero. Red Bull upgraded their power unit in Russia to take the grid penalty there so that they can be more competitive at Suzuka.
Merc will bring a new aero package so it will be just another 1-2 for them. Sorry for spoiling the race.
Wow they already have the best aerodynamic so it won’t help so much, maybe a aero package with less drag but they are nowhere near the Ferraris at the straight...
@@zaleskar bla bla bla shut up
@@CheminisVienetas you too
@@zaleskar Really? Because Ive heard that last upgrade they had on aero was in Germany..they dont even need an upgrade really..only to test next years parts.
What I've learned this season is that whoever is leading can race calmly because it is so hard to pass, but you have to drive crazy from behind.
everyone complained about Verstappen spinning Vettel in Shanghai, he just did exactly the same .. man Ferrari f*cked up this Season
And Vettel didn't even get a penalty like Max in China.
Max spinned Vettel in Shanghai, Vettel spinned himself in Suzuka. that's why one of them got a penalty and the other didn't
F1 bores me shirtless
vettel fucked up Ferrari
Ferrari fucked up when they hired him
Goodbye, battle for the title
Congratulations for your 5th title, Lewis
one of the best races of the season. the antidote to the procession parade of Monaco Gp
Stella job to our two silver arrow boys. Win or loose we love you guys.
Silly move from vettel. He had no chance. That was not verstappens fault. HOWEVER he was at 100% fault when he forced kimi off.
sagi alex True, and he was rightfully penalised for that. Howewer I think if he just let kimi through he might have not been finishing 3rd.
Yepp. Any reasonable person can see that. Not a lot of those in this comment section tho
5 seconds wasn’t enough for that. Should have been a stop and go. Also his radio message was disgraceful. Kimi should wait because Max drove off the circuit? He’s such a twat
+Gopr311 Yes, he should have waited. It's not that fucking easy to control a car coming off of the grass. Verstappen did his best to leave space but simply couldn't. If he hadn't rejoined the track then, he would have been at the back of the pack. Kimi could have waited half a second to see where Verstappen's car was headed and gone the other way, instead he tried to push on the outside without knowing.
Don't get me wrong, it's still Verstappens fault, but it wasn't malicious and Kimi could have helped avoiding the incident. Therefore a 5 second penalty is plenty.
He wasn't at fault though. Both party was wrong. He may sound like a prick asking Kimi to wait but Kimi himself acknowledges that it was partly his fault for being too eager which caused him to mount Verstappen's RB. Both sides were wrong in technical sense but because it was Max that caused the accident, Max got the penalty, which is fair.
Please keep these camera angles, they're amazing and you can really feel the speed!
Amazing race lots of overtakes wow
Woild love to see verstappen drive a merc. Imagine the results this guy could get. So much talent behind the wheel
I mean, Hamilton has already given them the best results they can hope for. Don't know what else you want from that car.
@@priyanshubagga3650 the results were relating to him not the car. However he is doing just fine with red bull
@@mikem2561 still a crasher
@@byanymeansnecessary9329 2 time wdc L + bozo
Man, I'm starting to think Ferrari should keep Raikkonen instead of Vettel. At least, he can finish the races without crashing.
Vettel still has more points than Kimi, so no
MinigunGaming Well maybe that is due to ferrari. Kimi has had many retirements because of ferrari and has had the role of a speed bumb for mercedes by ferrari not allowing Kimi to pit. Ferrari is so focused on their golden boy, they've stopped giving a fuck about Kimi. Put Kimi on the 1st driver spot and the championship will be much closer.
It's simply a matter of a contract. Vettel already has one which means he is set to stay at Ferrari until 2020 - and I have a feeling Ferrari regrets that now. Vettel signed this three year contract in August 2017 and back then he was leading the 2017 championship by 14 points and looked as if he would be 2017 champion. Turns out he lost the 2017 title. Now he has all but lost the 2018 title too and mostly through his own errors.
Ferrari can't fire Vettel because he has a contract until 2020. Kimi didn't have a contract for 2019 so he simply had to be sacrificed to let the new guy Leclerc drive for the team. Had Vettel not had a contract for 2019 then I believe he'd have to go too or they'd keep Kimi as a mentor to Leclerc.
Here's why I wouldn't want to be Vettel the next two years. Ferrari probably are disillusioned by him by now and will probably give Leclerc the blessing to race him freely. Should Leclerc come out on top then Vettel will find himself in experiencing the same support role Raikkonen has for the last seasons at Ferrari.
True, they did terminate Kimi Raikkonen's contract for 2010 and paid him as if he was still driving for them. They also fired Prost before the 1991 season was over, this is one of the reasons for his 1992 sabbatical since all good seats were already taken. Vettel will really be under pressure for 2019 because if he keeps making mistakes they won't just let that pass. They'll focus on Leclerc, providing he's any good, and try to muscle Vettel out.
It's also quite possible Vettel has a performance related contracted claiming he can break the contract at will should the car turn out to be bad. Right now he hasn't had that excuse for two straight seasons.

This is the race that decides the 5th world title of LH it’d just impossible that SV could change something about this: 67 points is too much

The championship was decided after Germany. The pressure became too much for him to bear after that.
Seb has never really had the temperament to win a difficult championship.

He just needs 8 points for the crown

The hate towards Seb is really getting ridiculous. The man was fighting a lost championship battle and made a risky decision, which looks unreasonable and stupid to us spectators in hindsight. I fully support him, his never giving up and fighting mentality which made this race really exciting to watch.
Next year stronger than ever. Der Deutsche Löwe will reign supreme 💪🐯
Ok please, trying to defend Vettel is ridiculous. This title loss will hurt him the most, knowing he blew it HIMSELF.
He has made a lot of mistakes this season, this only adds to the pile, its not a bandwagon its stating facts, Vettel has crumbled many times this season.
I totaly agree, it wasn't even completely his fault.
He should give up, he is making himself look like an idiot, focusing too much on the championship and Hamilton rather than himself.
Borna Siroki agreed
Hamilton can win the championship in the US if:
He finishes 1st and Vettel finishes 3rd
He finishes 2nd and Vettel finishes 5th
He finishes 3rd and Vettel finishes 7th
He finishes 4th and Vettel finishes 8th
He finishes 5th and Vettel finishes 9th
He finishes 6th and Vettel doesn’t scorce
Verstappen could make of these scenarios happen
I'll be very shocked if Hamilton gets a dnf
Oh Vettel will definitely scorce😂
doesnt matter, I want a good race.
I hope he doesn't win in the US.
Max is blaming Kimi for his mistake LOL
@@29pesos51 there’s a few more drivers than just ricciardo
Did you say the samr thing in Canada 2019?
The championship was already over again. Then Vettel goes and crashes. The bad thing was I didnt even feel any emotion when he hit Max that's how bad it is, I'm tired of saying oh well there's next year, hopefully Ferrari dont screw over Leclerc with strategy because I honestly dont know if Vettel can do it anymore, I say the championship is over already by the next race
Vettel screwed over Vettel....
ferrari long time fan here, felt the same way, already knew the championship was over, what I caught from the commentators is that ferrari said they were going to change some things (people?) at the end of the season, hopefully Leclerc comes to a better team
PS: where vettel crashed I just laughed, did not how else to feel
So disappointing...Ferrari had the advantage for the majority of the season, but so many mistakes one after another, race after race, both strategic errors from the team, and driver errors that do not befit a 4-times world champion. I think after this year, Ferrari's managementi will have serious doubt about Vettel's ability. There was already a speck of suspicion about that when Marchionne was alive, that's why he lined up Leclerc for Kimi's seat, so I don't think Vettel would automatically get the No.1 status.
for me championship fight finished at monza .-.
Yep it has just been another disappointing season of what could of been :( just don't do this again next year Ferrari, cant wait for Leclerc
