Six! What a driver.
6th WC for Lewis.
Well Done , totally deserved and that was a hard won 2nd place

I'm feeling a little emotional. What a champion.
He owes Magnussen a drink for that.
Well done Lewis and Mercedes double world champions again.
Nice little ending to the race, shame of the yellow flag because it would've been a very close fight for second, but the intensity of those laps and three drivers pushing it to the absolute limit seemed fitting for the occasion. Incredible job by Hamilton and Mercedes, they're in a league of their own.
Can only hope Bottas carries some of that fire into next year.
So true!
He's such a bloody racer. Still racing to win even though he was safe as houses had he stayed third
I guess that's why he's 6 times champ.Lewis for me is the best F1 driver I have seen , bold statement I know.
Senna and Sch both exceptional , but I think Lewis beats them both.

It's not really, if he sticks around for couple of years he will smash some major records.
It is for some.
nice touch from Seb coming in to the drivers room , changed my opinion of him over the past few years.
The only thing Lewis hasnt had is a proper rival with proper challenge. Senna had it with Prost, Schumi had it with Mika.
But yeah, Lewis is relentless like those two.
Few years of Lewis vs Alonso would have been epic, but it's just of those things that will never happen. It's just too big a risk for the teams to take on.
In contrast with Max who barely acknowledged Lewis. I think the US crowd booed him for that.
Lads, It's Max
Max is a cock , he knows he is a cock.
Lewis has a massive battle on his hands next season to get the record equalling 7th WC .
Leclerc , Max and a few other will be breathing down his neck, should be a very good season.

Don't know what you're on about, I just rewatched both the interview with Bottas and Max and they said nothing weird or wrong. They gave him respect and said they hoped to be able to compete with Lewis next year. Crowd didn't seem to be booing Verstappen either
I swear every time I open this thread there's @pauldyson1uk calling Verstappen a cock or a dick , while , struggling to use spaces and commas . properly , what's up what that man?

I wasnt talking about what they said at the interviews. I meant afterwards when they were in the cool down room before the podium ceremony. Vettel and Bottas both congratulated Hamilton, but Max just walked past him and didn't say a word to him.
Yeah I saw that too and was under the impression he'd already congratulated Hamilton. Otherwise he was indeed being a dick for sure.
Pretty certain Max had already congratulated him, was just before Max did his interview with Brundle.
I agree, I have really warmed to Vettel over the last few years. And I agree with you, I think Hamilton is the best driver.
You might be right. He does seem to have a chip on his shoulder when it comes to Lewis though. Maybe he sees himself as the one to stop Hamilton's dominance, I dunno.
He admires Hamilton for sure, I've seen plenty of interviews where that shines through. Lewis is just the absolute top dog, obviously Verstappen and also every other driver secretly wants to get the better of him on track and be the number one. But it's not as malicious as people make it out to be, of course in the heat of the moment things can get nasty, but for example I just watched the celebration as well and Hamilton is the first Verstappen starts spraying with champagne so I don't think there's much going on.
Yeah he did, it was a normal handshake though. Didn’t see him say anything. Doubt Hamilton cares.
I only saw the cool down room and him just walking past Lewis, did not see the podium, I actually like Max , think he is a very good driver and he will be WC one day.
Just sometimes, he does things without thinking, like his comments last week and thats gets him in to trouble.
Yeah there's no denying that, and I guess there will plenty of moments in the future where you guys calling Max a cock will be 100% fair

and I will try and get my comma's in the right place Bottas looks like he would rather be anywhere else at the moment.
Yep, it's shite how you have to turn up and celebrate the fact that you have just lost the WDC
He'll be breaking a few more records next year, most likely. He already has poles by a mile. Next up podiums then wins. Think 8 wdc could be tough with new rules and the huge potential of max/le clearc.
Love him or hate him - F1 would be a lot more boring without Max in it.
