    I believe he went to supersoft tires late in the race when they were already out of the points.

    It (simply) looks suspicious that Alonso got Fastest Lap at Monza. His late race pit stop for sticky tires won that point.

    Now, if DHL really put some money behind this list, then it might add some character to the later parts of races.

    Kvat 1 (Red Bull)
    Alonso 1
    Verstappen 1 (Red Bull)


    After Maylasia, both Nico and Hamilton must of gone into engine conserve mode, not a single fast lap amongst them. Post Malaysia, only Ferrari and Red Bull got fastest laps.

    And why do you think they wouldn't pass? 9 sec a lap slower than possible pace...

    Nicole just kind of stuck there..hoping no one would bump into him.

    Seb to me decided to hold position..even though he is racing for Ferrari.He could say he didn't want to spoil the WDC but i don't buy that ..he want's into that Merc.

    Max's tyres were finished.

    The Merc is fast down those straights.

    Then we have DRS etc etc

    The rest of them didn't have anything to prove, Nico was champ, Elton was beaten, Seb kept his powder dry for next year, and enjoyed watching Elton lose his chance for number four......
