I really wasnt expecting this good race, i think it gonna be a bad race, but ended up being one of the best race of the season, what do you think?.
Very bad luck for some drivers, Leclerc and Hamilton for example, about Mercedes they really have a good pace, but the crashes and problems destroy their race.
About Verstappen, i have to say the FIA is very soft against him, the first turn incident was his pure fault as always he push Leclerc off the track, and they give 5 seconds very late, when the correct one was give the position back.
Yeah, it was one of the best races this season. I also was sceptical about Las Vegas, but seems that prejudice isn't good thing. That Leclerc overtake against Perez cherry on top. Interesting how it would ended if Vertappen would helped Perez to defend. But as we saw again, it's not worth to expect such things from Max as he isn't team player.
Wouldn't say that FIA is soft against Max, it's more about how rules are made. Teams with faster cars can afford getting such penalties because for them isn't difficult to gain 5 second advantage and avoid being penalised. If they would impose let's say 30 seconds penalty, similar duration like stop & go penalty, then we would see different image I think.
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas as the saying goes.
And Perez wishes those late overtakes stays there and doesn't follow him in the next race in Abu Dhabi.
Ferrari are starting to warm up and what do you know, it's the final race of the season this weekend.

It was the best race of the year, based on the battle for the lead. Max didn't look faster than leclerc at the start, he was passed on the track, and after the pits, russell tried to get on him and damaged his car. Checo, meanwhile, with the perfect timing of the safety car, suddenly moved up to second place on zero tyres, passing leclerc. If asked at that moment, most of us would have said that checo would go from here with a gap and max would finish somewhere in the top ten. But checo lost his place to leclerc first, max took off after that, passed both perez and leclerc at his own pace, then went on to open the gap. It was surprisingly a good race to watch.
There were alot of bullying to Verstappen in this race and this is what every team should of done from the beginning of the season until now. Then it would of been a more competitive one and not a complete blow out on the points accumulated by one driver. Because that to look at is quite one sided by any standpoint.
Think I seen Max get hit by every top 5 driver in the course of the race. Right from the beginning with Leclerc at the first turn which drive them both off the track up unto the final lap.
Max wearing a mocked up driver suit of Elvis looked very cheesy but having 524 points on the season he doesn't care.
