To have more grip for the restart, which worked out for him but ultimately it was a gamble that didn't pay off.

Haven' t felt this excited for a race since Suzuka 1998. you all know what happened there, similar condition to this weekend. can' t wait for sunday

Also, let us not forget this legend, who is retiring from F1, and this Abu Dabhi, will be his 249th race.

im torn to be honest. I do want Louis to get his 8th, and he really deserved it this time, his decisions and will to victory this season were second to none. However, i think should Max win, Hamilton will be super motivated to get one next season or the one after and it has a potential to make some exciting battles. So ... not sure.


How did he really deserve it this year? He had so much more luck than Max. Lucky at Silverstone with the collision, lucky Max got taken out by Bottas, lucky Max's tyre gave out. On top of that, Merc made a couple terrible calls regarding strategy, and then there is his 'magic button' blunder. The Merc engineers do deserve it for building the fastest car, sure.

The merc hasnt been the fastest car though has it. Lewis has indeed had fortune to stay in the fight but both have been head and shoulders above the rest. Whoever wins will deserve it. At times Max has been fortunate too, especially the rain which took him to 2nd from 8th.

I dont mind who wins, I only hope it isn't decided by a lucky red flag/safety car or a crash that takes them both out.

Red Bull looked way faster on race pace today which bodes well for Max. I'd bet on him taking it.

Overall this year it has been very close between Red Bull and Mercedes (finally!) but the last few races Mercedes had the faster car on these high power tracks, even without the now banned rear spoiler. Concerning today's free practice I don't think we should conclude too much from it but if I must Mercedes seem stronger surely.

There is been so many moments this season.Netflix not going keep up. I think the most shitty one and pure bullshit was when Max tire exploded.Luckily for him Hamilton fucked up that day.But still that was pure shit for MaX.If it wasnt for that day he could be Champion now.

Other funny one is ( funny cuz poor Bottas talk about luck to him LMAO ) that people keep Saying that Bottas crashed Max. And he actually crashed Norris and Perez ? I think it was Norris the one that touch Max.

All in all Max is a fcking beast. He showed it since his race with redbull. He race hard and he out perform any pilot.

Im not sure is best Hamilton season.But in many races he showed ambition to win the championship. Brazil GP was so insane to watch.They keep punishing him and the guy just keep fighting and fighting. Was really nice to watch.

All in all . MayThe Best Man WIN!

I’m pretty ambivalent on who wins. It’d be nice to see a new champion but if Hamilton wins I won’t be sad. I do think for most of the season Max was the better performer of the two (I generally think the first half of this season was the weakest Hamilton’s performed over the last few years. He made quite a few uncharacteristic mistakes) but they’ve both been in a league of their own for the second half of the season. Hamilton has really upped his game again and it’s been clear the last few races that this is putting so much pressure on Max that we are starting to seeing cracks form.

I just hope the championship is decided on the track and not by the stewards. Masi and the stewards have already done enough damage this year. We don’t need more of that.

McLaren cant fight for titles so I don't care who wins, but if I had to pick one, I'd go for Lewis simply because he conducts himself better on track.

meh, Max was way faster today but tomorrows' race will be decided by (pit)strategies.

Yeah. It's pretty equal still. Max starts P1, sure, but he's on a (presumably) less optimal strategy due to having to start the race on softs. This could easily go both ways

Yeah he went for a second run on his mediums and wrecked them at turn one, then had to switch to softs so he didn't have to start with them.

Yeah, initially when I saw the softs I thought it was strategy but turns out it was due to a mistake. I understand Hamilton had a lock up in Q3 as well, the pressure must be enormous on these guys.

safety car on the first laps can do wonders for his strategy though
