I suspect the safety car driver will be busy, I wouldn't be surprised to see red flags at some point.

It’s going to keep the pack tightly bunched and people will get caught out with pit stops.

No. Well, maybe but that’s not why there is 25 on the steering wheel - it’s been there a while.

It looks like it could be an entertaining race.

I have no idea what is going on with the driving in today's race, but it looks to be setting up an interseting final race of the season.

Verstappen made some great moves, the restart from 3rd to 1st was a championship move.
But he lets himself down with crazy moves and stupid antics. He’s very easy to dislike.

That was a great watch. The last race is going to be a doozy!

Took the words out of my mouth.
Of course let’s not forget that his qualifying crash was championship losing too.

Was saying the same to the parental unit - that he falls into the same category as Senna and the elder of the Schumacher brothers. Namely quite happy to stuff someone into the wall if it's of benefit to him.
He's a good driver, but he's turning himself into a pantomime villain - when to be honest he really doesn't have to. It's not a good look.

Verstappen ruled to have braked to avoid crossing the DRS line first, thus causing the collision. Lewis also wanted to stay behind for the DRS line - which isn’t forbidden (there’s no rule saying you have to overtake just because you can). 10 seconds and 2 penalty points for Max; no change to the result but he’s on 7 points now (12 month rolling total) and he and Horner have been exposed as lying little weasels.

I thought CH looked a bit red faced and a bit subdued in the post race chat . I think he knew what the telemetry revealed about Max braking .

He initially said 'no braking'. He then said 'no hard braking'. Telemetry shows hard braking - but no matter because the penalty illustrates it's only a minor infraction (that in any other Formula would be Black Flagged). Someone will get badly hurt, or worse.
I understand that DC has been further bearing out my previous comments about his never, ever having criticised Red Bull - even in the face if this shitstorm.

The rules around giving a place back need firming up.
You can’t give a place back and then immediately retake it, it’s a nonsense.
I fear that Vetstappen will do the same again next week as he nothing to lose now. It’s quite clear to anyone watching that he has no intention of being overtaken cleanly.

Of course he will. He has nothing - zero - to lose*. He was dangerous before, not sure what it makes him now.

*And everything to gain. Lewis beats him, he wins WDC. Lewis and he dnf and Max wins the WDC
