I reckon there will be more punishment for Max for the crash incident as well. Probably a grid penalty for next weekend

Ocon is so reliable a driver, that was a shame for him, right at the line. Give Ocon a hot car and he'll do well.

Where is the final race? Hoping it's a lot more open track
Abu Dhabi - not usually great for overtaking but it's had some corners redesigned to help with racing. RB were quickest there last year, but unclear how the layout changes will impact on that this year

Sponsors are going to be falling over themselves to get in on this last race - the hype train is having it's boiler stoked as we speak, what a great situation to have going into the final weekend.

In the end the 5 second penalty didn’t really affect the race outcome.
His tyres weren’t going to see him through to the finish at the front.

The stewards are still going to investigate the collision between Max and Lewis.

What do we think happens? A time penalty for Max, if it’s proven he brake-tested Lewis, won’t make a real difference at all. If Lewis gets the blame, what punishment does he get? He’s one reprimand away from a 10 place grid penalty…

It sounds like the fault is with his team, not relaying messages in the right order - Martin Brundel has even said, he gave him room on the left, as far as Lewis knew Max could've been broken, but instead of overtaking him he slowed down and ploughed into the back of him. THEN he was told about Max giving the place back - it's all so totally confusing, I have no idea who's at fault, but it's going to have a lot of officials scratching their heads while Red Bull and Mercedes argue a lot
