Last race of the 2019 season. Constructor's and Driver's championships have already been determined. This race is basically a test for next year's equipment and to have fun. Here on the board, our championship has been decided. Second place is up for grabs and the final order for all of us. I'll be here in a couple of days to see who wins the race and who finishes second here.

Hamilton takes the win followed by Verstappen, LeClerc, and Bottas who came from last place due to a pit penalty.

This is how we finished the 2019 Formula-1 season:

Hank-2019 Champion!!
Retroram-Second Place
BSF27-Third Place
43-Fourth Place

CONGRATS TO THIS YEAR'S CHAMPION, HANK!!!

43, you are next dude!!

I'll see everyone next March as Hank will be out defending his championship and I'll be hunting for number 5 after finishing second for the second year-in-a-row.

It was a good year in racing all-around and I look forward to next season. See everyone then and enjoy your holidays and start of new year!! Later...

I would have had a full sweep for the last race of the season, but like everything else that went wrong this season, I switched Bottas and LeClerc a second time after I originally posted LeClerc finishing ahead of Bottas. Dumbass moment and I had a lot of those this year starting the season of 6-8 races with one skunked after another. What a crappy year!

Too bad we can't have an unlimited closed cockpit class like this. Smashing F1 times. Like Daytona Proto Types with no rules. Run what you brung.

I would like to see somebody new get involved with F-1 like Chevy or even Dodge. I doubt that would even happen from either of those two manufacturers. If Chrysler buys Renault, we may see them in F-1 as Chrysler may pull the plug on Renault's already invovlment. I'd settle for BMW to return to F-1 but I doubt that is going to happen either.

The new season will soon be upon us. Hamilton and Bottas have come out with fire as they have finished 1-2 in a recent practice session with all of the new nuances on the cars and in the pits. Hamilton is not going to go down easy and especially regarding any talk involving Ferrari getting by the Mercs and Vettel earning a championship this year.

The Benz boys supposedly have some telescoping steering wheel that does "something" nobody else knows....

Seriously..

They call it a trombone?? Or Sky F1 did anyway.

Apparently legal.

Legal for next year anyway. But not the next with the new cars.

Affects the toe or camber or something.
