    Alarm set for 5:45am, I must be bonkers.  If Verstappen is leading within 10 laps I'll be going back to bed!
    He'll be leading by the end of the first lap

    Glad to see Lando walk away from that. Looked a horrible shunt that started a long way back

    FFS I get up @ 6am for this, and have a Power Cut right at the start of the race - Thankfully got my phone up and didnt miss the start!!

    Why the hell was he trying to pass in the tightest section of the track

    Glad I made the effort to get up now.  And totally uninterrupted viewing as the kids are still in bed.  Happy days!

    Now the top three are going to be driven to the Bellagio for the Post-Race Interview... (rather than the Cooldown room), and then they'll be driven back to the podium :D

    That last lap Leclerc move was absolutely mega. Pretty entertaining race all round.

    Fun race probably my favourite of the season

    Worth getting up early for.  Max overly aggressive (again) at the start - but loads of overtaking and think the circuit is pretty good - but very slippery.  I heard they have signed a 10 year deal!

    They need to bring back harsher penalties for driving into other drivers and forcing them off the track IMO, the comment after hearing about his penalty were Max said "send them my regards" shows how little they care about time penalties. Bring back stop/go penalties and drive through penalties

    Thought Russell was a tad unlucky with the penalty. Max didn't really give him any other option

    Never known a driver get so lucky with safety cars as Verstappen. Leclerc wins that if the timing is better for him or the second safety car doesn’t happen.

    Shame that the race was a bit of a damp squid for the most part

    Either Pourchaire or Vesti deserved that F2 title

    This season has proven that you just need consistency to win either the F2 or F3 Championship... the title winners of both have just three wins combined.

    Vesti (second in F2) has six wins this season

    The Prema was the quicker car throughout the season, so it's a big achievement for Pourchaire to win the title.

    Found this a really interesting read: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/67492809.  Adrian Newey obviously a design genius.

    Typical end to the see at Abu Dhabi, even Las Vegas was better than that!!

    Charles Leclerc must be such a bugger to try and play Chess against, Ferrari dont deserve him - Neat idea to try and steal P2 in the WCC from Mercedes.

    I just find Abu Dhabi a snooze fest. Track even with the changes still doesn't really work for me. 

    I know they're locked in as the finale essentially forever but I'd love an Interlagos finale again.

    Brazil or Japan will always have the weather as a potential factor, its one of the reasons they're such great tracks - Abu Dhabi needs an SC for anything interesting.

    Even 2021 was dull, what with Hamilton running away with it

    Even F2 had Doohan scamper away up the road and most of the action wasn't for the win. Although I massively enjoyed the Maloney Vs Iwasa battle and aren't entirely sure why Red Bull have dropped Zane.

    No... Not when you consider that one of the RB replacements; Sztuka has taken three years to win the Italian F4 Championship

    I don't get the Isack Hadjar hype either , seems to be another one off the Red Bull Academy production line that needs constantly calming down. Pepe Marti I get , I think there might be something there with him.

    But it says a lot when the Academy I see the most potential in is Williams. O'Sullivan, Colapinto (I know this weekend was a dud for him) and Luke Browning is a very very promising group.
