I think people keep forgetting that Colapinto’s been in his seat not even half a season and is in fact still a rookie who’s just entered F1. He’s over all, in the 11 races he’s been, doing pretty well with one DNF. In the same amount of races, his predecessor had five DNFs in 2023.

[@legoferrari14]

The RB20 to Max Verstappen is what the F2003-GA was to Michael Schumacher; the car where the team went in the wrong development direction but went on to become the champion off the back of their rivals fumbling the bag, complete with an awesome wet-weather drive that proved to be the kingmaker event.

Yeah, I just learned about this watching this video right now! I would've never thought Charles would say something like that about Carlos, and I don't think he has good reason to either. As far as the viewers could tell, Carlos let him past when they asked on the radio.

Lewis was flying a deserved driver of the day! From a Verstappen fan.

[@littleclum]

and, especially with what happened at Brazil; Max was truly this year's deserving champion - although Max's defending at COTA took the letter of the rules to their absolute brink (it was still all legal) Lando simply couldn't compete - partly because McLaren didn't do as good a job as Red Bull at managing their two drivers but equally because Max absolutely has the edge on him as a driver. One thing is for sure though; if the trajectory of the top 4 teams continues next year, we are on for one HELLUVA championship! From a Charles/Oscar/Lewis fan 🙂

[@henkormel5610]

Red Bull didn't develop a low drag rear wing due to it only been used at Monza and Las Vegas. In these events they brought a modifiable rear wing so the development time didn't come out of the development recourses.

[@chrisccc22]

I've been watching F1 for 40 years. I always end up getting bored of dominance and end up disliking drivers who win all the time. Senna changed that for me. Once we lost him, I realized how great he was. I promised I would never do that again. I did with Schuey. Not with Max though. He has shown over and over how completely dominant he is. No teammate can compete with him. He truly is a generational talent. Good luck to anyone who pairs up with him next year.

[@thesmallerhalf1968]

Le Clerc needs to take a step back. He is protected at Ferrari, Sainz go the bum’s rush a year in advance because Ferrari had a fanboy moment. What does he expect from Sainz? Ferrari have been clear they don’t rate Sainz enough to give him some respect, so why should he kowtow to their current golden boy. Despite the shabby treatment Sainz has worked hard for his ungrateful employers.

[@sleepy_lixie]

Ungrateful? You do realize that Carlos didn’t resign what was Ferrari meant to do? Wait for him to change his mind after getting rejected by the other lead teams? Carlos fans are so annoying. You didn’t see anyone complaining when he was whining on the radio about Charles closing the gap to him to avoid getting overtaken by Lando in Mexico. And you guys wonder why no main team wanted him 🙄

[@PG-20]

Charles should man up, if he wants to finish P2 in the WDC he should have passed Carlos on pace and merit. Even after Carlos got screwed over that pit call, he still finished ahead of Charles.

Lewis wasn’t going to fight George, George had pace to pull away from the field early and was preserving his tires the second half of the race on the hards. So if Lewis qualified higher, George still had pace to stay ahead. Would have been interesting but no slam dunk for Lewis.

[@TheNorville2]

Do you know that as a fact? or do you think he had more pace?.

[@johnbenoy7532]

​@@TheNorville2 the fact that Lewis never made it closer than 5 seconds to russell shows that GR had plenty of pace in store. The second George saw Lewis in the mirrors, his laptimes did improve by around 4 tenths (see laptimes for the laps 44-46) Towards the end George manage to pull a 8 second lead as well.

[@Zoom15000]

Leclerc brought his problems on himself. He ruined his tyres pushing too hard which led to him finishing behind Sainz. Yet again Leclerc's own mistakes cost him - which is why I have repeatedly said he'll never be champion. Sainz is the one who should be angry at the treatment by Ferrari today. That pit mistake from the team which could have cost him a penalty for crossing the white line, the team not listening to his calls to pit which potentially cost him, and then being told not to overtake Leclerc. Sainz deserved his third place today.

[@LawVS]

Yeah that's true. I think he's realised he now needs to be more spontaneous and not be afraid to annoy the pitwall for his own benefit.

[@deivison.72]

I agree carlos deserved the third place today. i disagree with the " he will never be world champion" ... he has the speed, he knows how to trait the tires(in a normal race) he is being the best of the rest this year, he is being better than carlos(which destroyed more cars this year) and the same number of victories as Norris. He already beat Vertappen in some races(carlos never did). But yeah he needs to improve this "nice guy" thing for sure, and be more rude in mentality, and of course, stop to make the little mistakes. If damon hill and Villeneuve were world champions, Leclerc for sure can be as well. But i respect ur opinion tho.

[@elianioriofarrell]

Leclerc made no mistake, no one knew what to expect from the tyres today. Idk why you people constantly have to label stuff Leclerc does as "mistakes", he doesn't crash anymore so you people have to find other things to nitpick to continue this idea of a driver making constant mistakes to fuel your hate at the idea of him winning a championship. Where were you last race in Brazil where sainz crashed twice? Also look at the head to heads this year, Leclerc has destroyed Sainz. This team radio is a good sign, it means he's finally learning to be more selfish.

[@littleclum]

@@elianioriofarrell agreed! Being pushy / demanding on the team is where Charles has really lacked during race conditions: compared to current greats (results wise at least - ignoring subjective bias' as we shouod) like Max, Fernando, Lewis and even the last world champ he beat in his own team (Seb) back when they were team mates. Carlos has almost always been far more demanding mid-race than Charles ever has which is why Carlos garnered such applause for his pushiness on the team at Silverstone last year which led to him winning due to contravening the Ferrari pit wall strategists and making his own calls. Charles might finally be taking heed of this; being a people pleaser (even within your own team) will not give you a loud enough voice, and with Lewis joining Ferrari next year (who is very vocal - to the point of many F1 fans seeming him as being whiney/complaining; as indeed have Verstappen, Alonso, Vettel, Schumacher and other champions), Charles is almost certainly going to need to drop the nice guy of the paddock perception and get more feral and toothy... ...Seeing him become more demanding and selfish is really what he needs to be if he truly wants to become a world champion; a detail I think that he earned after defeating Sebastian Vettel when Ferrari was very definitely Seb's team as the number 1 driver.

[@elianioriofarrell]

@@littleclum I agree, I mean he's already being called a crybaby because of this one radio

[@motelghost477]

Sainz had every right not to yield. Leclerc was out of the championship so it didn't actually matter which order the Farraris finished, so long as they got 3rd and 4th, it makes no difference to the constructors.

[@VYBEoriginal]

Leclerc must overtake norris in 2nd Position

[@driesvanoosten4417]

Also, after the first stint, they pitted Leclerc before Sainz, even though Sainz was in front and also indicated his tyres were fried. So basically, they try to let Leclerc undercut his teammate, screw up Sainz' pitstop, give Sainz team orders to let Leclerc through twice and Charles still complain. They should have a talk...

[@betaich]

Also if the radio came anywhere near how it played on tv the timing of the radio was just wrong, SAniz got the message not to pas Charles, when he was already pasing him

F1 made a great decision by having Max park up on the start/finish line at the end of the race and put him in the Limo procession.

[@driesvanoosten4417]

Yeah, they did well with that. They have to handle the fact that the wdc was won by a driver not on the podium, without stealing the thunder of the driver who actually won the race. I remember that being a bit of a weird situation in the 2018 Mexican GP. Lewis celebrating took away from the podium ceremony. Mind you, I'm not blaming Lewis for this. The organizers should have had some idea in place. Vegas did that very well!

I think the relief with RB is so big not because McLaren was on top for months, but because Verstappen wasn't in the fight. He was a sitting duck at a certain point, he was not able to defend his gap to Norris. They must have felt it was just happening to them rather than just on the backfoot.

[@mafiousbj]

I think after the hype of the mid season swap of Colapinto is starting to fade, people are remembering what type of team Williams has been for years now. Don't forget Vowles told they were using Excel to keep inventory at the factory when he arrived. I wonder how much of that repair bill was caused by drivers overdriving to extract anything from that car. And unlike Sauber/Audi they are not having upcoming positive news or partnerships on the factory side of things. Even Alpine will get competent engines in 2026 with Mercedes. I feel Williams can be left behind hard in the coming years much like they were suffering before the Dorilton adquisition 😢

Maybe a hot take, but Lando was never going to win. He was overhyped by the media (to his detriment) and only really had a 5 race streak where he put points on Max. Since Monaco Max has consistantly outperformed Lando over the races. Lando is the worst drive to have the best car in over 25 years (read that again before you get angry, I didnt say he is a bad driver, but he is the worst of the drivers to sit in a fastest car) so it does baffel me that people were serious about Lando having a shot at winning.

[@DineshKumar-iu5pl]

When the other driver is 5 mil ( team total 7 mil) in crash damages that takes budget out of advancements, hence the wing issue. RB are openly telling it because they waiting for final decision on Checo after the final race. As Lawson and Tsunoda are both in there own fight for Construstors as a team. So RedBull is buying its time. This is called management at its best. Oh yeah rememeber, reduced budget of 135 mil this year and RB overshot 140 mil. Last year... So add that into contention they shd be on a thin rope. Similar Merc they openly declared no more upgrades due to buget limitations.

Crazy how all of sudden Max remembered how to drive and not run people off the track 😂. It's almost like he's always known how to race clean and chooses when he will and won't.

such a good race, i can’t wait until this can be the finale proper

[@Grnvolpe]

I like Carlos and the “try talking to him in Spanish” was great

[@jeremynorton78]

Uh bro, as a Vegas local, this city is the entertainment capital NOT the sports capital. NOT EVEN CLOSE

[@robbiebastiaanssen4694]

Checo might have, could have, maybe would have... But he didn't, did he? He rarely does...

Cant wait for zhou/leclerc lineup so charels can breathe and dominate

[@Jude74]

I actually think you’re onto something about team principal. He’s cutting his teeth on his e-team.

The Constructors championship is the one that will go down to the end 😊

I was thinking about what you said and saw an article about George Russell, and I've just never been able to take to him at all. He has this really arrogant side to him that his overall results have just never been able to justify. He gets a good result and his head inflates, every time. Taking shots at Norris with comments how Verstappen hasn't had a 'proper fight', as if one win and suddenly he's the main man going for the title. Sorry George, but you've got a long way to go before you prove yourself a real contender. Enjoy your win - you earned it, you deserve it - but until you've shown you can challenge for the title you have no right to be taking shots at anyone.

I watched the race, it was ok, I guess. The race remains a flat track street circuit that is as interesting as the inside of an empty drawer. I am glad they tuned down the celebrity BS although they still got more coverage than they deserved. F1 was still only a side show of the weekend so no, this GP will never rank as anything particular as a race weekend - it was no better than the Miami race. Certainly has nothing on the Austin / COTA race. I personally think F1 could have more wisely spent the money on a dedicated track in the Las Vegas area served by an adequate and cost effective rail service - for both teams and spectators - to respond to the sustainability goals.

Compared to other street circuits it’s definitely one of the best imo. A lot more over takes than others and the back drop of the Vegas strip is rather unique. Now I agree with the celebrity and side show stuff they do is a clown show but the track and race itself is really solid. If they had built a purpose built track near Vegas there’d be no reason for them to even have it in Vegas. If you want elevation changes F1 should go to Barber Motorsports Park, that place is a roller coaster.

All hail Super M4X.

[@SuperMarkizas]

Yes, our stint begins 😂

[@Lianpe98]

Yuki really deserves Checo's seat

[@Scratch-Schram]

It would be outrages if Red Bull won't put Tsunoda next to Max.

[@simonreck6330]

Let’s just be happy that we’re having no more Max meltdowns and the lives of our favorite drivers are safe until Max finds himself in another battle in which he has no other option than using his car as a weapon again.

[@craiglawrence9515]

I dont think you need to give checo a pass this weekend. Horner has been doing that all season 😂

[@bbqspaghetti3444]

Williams are experiencing what i would call a doomsday scenario

[@Ken_Adams80]

Charles had a solid No. 2 driver mindset. Lewis will have his fun with him 😂😂

[@georgythomas8451]

Maybe Max was talking about waiting for him at the airport or the pub😂
