What a sad day. The thing is that Daniel shouldn't have left the team that revealed him because, in a way, it resulted in more lows than highs in his post-Red Bull Racing career.

He’s a great guy. Just a good-hearted man.

But his decision making has been near abysmal during his time in the sport.

Not so sure if Yuki is the solution to help Verstappen and Red Bull Racing in the future (the constructor championship).

Pretty wild race with the rain.

Max comes out on top. Surprise to see the 2 Alpines on the podium. They did get pretty lucky with staying out and then getting tires during the red flag.

Mercedes has already confirmed both drivers for 2025. Russell and Antonelli.

The Bottas deal would just be as a reserve driver if it happens.

Yep!! Valtteri should be announced as a reserve driver using simulators and stuff on behalf of his team.
Even Guanyu Zhou can get the job as I just read somewhere.

Yeah, MAX wins a 4th Championship. Puts him in very exclusive company.

Overall, good to see more different winners this season.

Looking forward over the next few weeks, the Constructors Championship is still up for grabs. McLaren #1.. Ferrari #2.. Red Bull down to #3 (Thanks Checo!!! haha)
