    We can see from that that Vettel slowed down at A red light....but was it the FIRST red light...that's the question.

    he slowed, and F1 cars NEED some speed to generate downforce to help them steer, and have the car handle. He looked well under control to me

    He got a penalty for 6 and 7, where he drove at **** all speed....Where do we draw the line? In the history of pointless penalties, this is up there. It wasn't even during a proper session. He slowed down more than enough. As Steve says...he was completely under control. It's a massive parking lot track, what could have gone wrong? At the speed he was driving he could have spotted a **** hair and parked right in front of it.
    Lewis can cut across the bollards during a race session and receive a slap on the wrist, but Vettel slows down loads in a red flag but ''not enough'', and it's grid penalty and penalty point worthy. It's complete and utter madness. If Vettel/Ferrari had any balls they'd pull out of the event. It's a farce.

    I have the absolute minimum interest in the sport at this moment. FIA have gone so far to make up terms now to please their Mercedes overlords. They call the wheels ''limited illegality''. It's either illegal or it's not.

    They can't measure the holes, so they can't declare them illegal. Basically what mercedes has done is made a lot of holes in their wheel rims, but small enough so they can't be measured. But lets say (for arguments sake) that they need 10 small holes to make up the same size as 1 measurable (= illegal) hole. All they need to do is space them out to the absolute minimum and hey, presto: Free holes, free illegal downforce.

    Ferrari should do the same on next years floor. Thousands of tiny holes so that they get a metric **** tonne of downforce, but FIA can't do **** because it's ''limited illegality''. Genius!

    FIA/Liberty are bending over backwards to make the Mercedes win the title. After 4 years of Mercedes complete and utter domination, they are not yet finished. They want more. They don't care that the sport is destroyed it seems. Competition is good. Ferrari a little bit too close for comfort? Lets monitor their car and take off their toys (floor that wasn't illegal, additional oil tank that Mercedes somehow knew about and so on). Can't find anything on the monitors? Well lets just ****ing monitor the car permanently and much stricter than any other car. Why? Because mercedes says so.

    Mercedes and their drivers doing illegal things? Well, they have to be punished....how about a little warning? That should do the trick.

    This is the most farcical championship the FIA have run in a long time. I'm finished with it. This whole mess boils my piss.

    FIA great job at ruining a decent finale to the season. Only thing that rescues it is a failure on eltons car tomorrow.

    Ferrari took off all it's singapore upgrades and the car is fast again. What a bunch of idiots.

    Incredible.....we all wrote Ferrari off after Lewis stole that cheap pit stop, but look what the outcome was!!! Incredible.

    Incredible.
    Lewis missed out on a win.
    Lewis missed out on 5 USA wins in a row.
    Lewis missed out on wrapping up the championship

    I was staggered when Lewis had to pit the second time. Ferrari nailed it this time.

    Vettel drove AMAZINGLY, as he always can, but he AGAIN managed a big **** up.

    +1

    I'm amazed at the amount of **** ups Vettel has completed this season. I think he has made more this season than Kimi has since his return to F1, 6 years ago.

    A BIG thank you goes out to Verstappen, for running Elton wide. That instantly secured victory for Kimi as that battle cost both Verstappen and lewis some time. I feel bad for Ricciardo...again that car breaks down, and that Honda unit seems to improve each time they do something to it. Fingers crossed it's a good engine next year, we need someone to dethrone Lewis. Vettel won't be it, he'll be too busy doing donuts after attempting overtakes on Kimi's Sauber...
