McLaren are actually just such an embarrassment for this sport. Their drivers have their issues but this team as a team is so ass.
They are so afraid of perceived preference that they just keep fucking themselves over.
There is no world in which this championship should be decided in Abu Dhabi.

I have unlocked a new* issue of being a woman in a male dominated field..
What is it with all of them wearing cologne with that one ingredient (idk what it is) that is so intense, apparently wants to clean out my sinuses and means I can't breathe?
And they always leave a cloud of death around them

How is Norris so shit at VSC restarts? Has there been a single VSC where he hasn't ended up super close to the guy behind or super far away from the guy ahead

Accurate representation of the data the F1 teams have about their cars and the publicly available telemetry data.
You can still tell it's a horse but you can't truly know any details

I can't believe that the whole of F1 is losing their heads over a team internal T1 "incident" that literally ended with another driver between them.
If I have to see one more analysis about how it's a slam dunk penalty that doesn't acknowledge the existence of Verstappen in the middle I'll lose it

Serious Q to everyone who says LEC should've given the position back to HAM: when?
Bc when he gave the position back to NOR, VER was ahead of HAM.
So are we talking like a lap later which would've been unusual since he already gave up most of his advantage. or was he supposed to let VER past too?

Since the Ferraris were on opposite strategies I compared their fuel corrected* medium and soft stints.
And the real difference in the race was the medium stint where HAM had more deg much earlier. Their soft stints are honestly surprisingly similar (HAMs last lap was removed for viz purposes)

Imagine watching this race and not thinking Charles Leclerc can win a world championship with a proper car over a full year. Superb.
P3 considering he had the higher deg tyre in the first stint and constantly off line defending as well. Superb.
And a huge assist to the outstanding Max as well.
