If it would have ended in a safety car scenario Red Bull would have been smart enough to pit for soft tyres 

But it didn't and Lando did everything right today!
Congratulations to all Lando and McLaren fans

Having done my best to catch up it seems McLaren actually left the strategists from the last race at home and had their head screwed on this time.

They didn't allow Max to slow the pace and kept the pressure on Red Bull.

Ironic the one race Yuki was even in the same league was this one and tried some questionable shenanigans, but that didn't come to anything.

A good outcome all in all, and look forward to an interesting 2026.

Pleased that Max lost by less than the number of points that he was penalised by at Barcelona for deliberately crashing into George Russell's car. Felt sorry for Oscar, but his season faded after the summer for many different reasons.

Not being minded to feather Sky's pockets, I've had to avoid all news and other spoilers until 6pm tonight. Even this thread just in case someone leaked the result! Not the most exciting of last races but the results, to me, were a reflection of the top 3 this year. Love him or hate him, Max did all he could and the split strategy of McLaren could have paid off for either of their drivers maybe.
I do prefer the team at CH4 over those at Sky anyway

I've now raced against* an F1 World Champion



* been lapped by **


** many times

They mentioned on the TV that Norris is the 11th British F1 champion, so I amused myself by trying to remember the other 10 before I looked them up. I couldn't get past 8 - I missed out Jenson Button and John Surtees. A lot of people think Stirling Moss won it, but of course he never did.

Anyway, congratulations to young Nando! (that is his name isn't it...?)

Cheers,

Chris

I watched the race and would have been happy if I ether McLaren drivers ended up as Champion but I was really happy it was Lando I have been a fan of his from the start .
A friend of mine is a fan of Max so we were both very happy with the end result .Lando was in tears at the end and so was I .
  Well done to the entire MClaren team they deserve the Constructors  Championship and the World Champion driver.
TEAM WORK WINS
