Yea, 43, you were close. I can't remember but if you hang onto First Place on our board, is this your First Championship? I believe it is but you would know for sure more than I would.

I know Hank has one Championship under his belt. I have Five here and Seven over in the IndyCar series. I forgot, the Schmoopster has us all right where he wants us, so be diligent because he is on the prowl. lol.

I got Leclerc for third too.

And if Mercedes hadn't done Ferrari level strategy mistakes I might have swept it again. They straight up fucked Lewis over. I don't blame him for being that mad.

I had the sweep until Bottas parked his car.

That Alpha Tauris stuff was BS too.

Hamilton was only going to win if he could have run to the end on his hard tires. As soon as there was the 2nd stop for mediums and the field closed up and Max got the free stop it was going to be P2 and P3 at best.

So allowing Russell to go to softs just meant he was going to pass Hamilton. No way he (Russell) was going to win.

I really don't know why they did it. They ended up 2,4 instead of 2,3 which they would have been almost for certain as Leclerc was not going to catch Russell for 3rd.

Yep, several of us had LeClerc for third. I had him in mind and on paper then changed it for the post. Just a suckie year for me selecting correct finishing orders.

I won once before a few years back.

Adrenaline makes you say stuff in the moment. Same with Alonso last week. Champions acknowledge their weakness and move on.
