5 WDC's, thoroughly deserved for Lewis Hamilton, he has absolutely being the best driver this season, no question. Sure Ferrari had some pants races, but so too have Mercedes this season, but Lewis has managed to make the difference when required. I think right now he's the best on the grid.
I hope Ferrari remain close next year to Mercedes, and I hope Red Bull and Honda can be competitive and maybe even throw Renault into the mix. I have no problem with Lewis winning a 6th WDC next season, but I'd like it to be a fight to the wire, and Lewis earning it again. I've enjoyed most of this season, some of the racing has been outstanding. Mercedes need to go back to the drawing board next season with their car again,
I expect Ferrari to be stronger next season, and even Leclerc will be a threat, I'd be ecstatic if RBR got in their with Max and maybe Gasly too. As to the WCC I really don't think it's over. Ferarri 55 points behind Mercedes, 43 points maximum per team on a race day so it's not over yet, finish one two in the last two races, a few more bad weekends for Mercedes and a DNF and Ferrari might just nip in ahead of Mercedes. Don't think it is likely, especially with how down Vettel seemed, but I'll watch until it's over, which will probably be in Brazil at the next race.

Well done Lewis, shame he was off the podium, yet again. Nevermind I'm sure there are more to come to wont be sealed in Mexico.
Another sterling job from VES, yet again the Renault's started to drop like flies, but a better finishing amount than last year. Poor poor Danny RIC, such a shame.
Another massive time gap separation between the field, only top 4 again on lead lap. 10-14 were all mightily close though, but we didnt see any of that in the closing stages of the race.
LEC was pulling off some great moves to get 7th
Good to see a points finish for VAN
Weekend to forget to Haas.
WCC is still on, that could make these last couple of races really entertaining.

Lewis is a legend. No question. People can dislike him, but you can't deny what he has done in the sport.

Dont derail to much, there is a thread for driver talk.
Lol, I missed Bottas going onto the Hypers for the last few laps. They really were in a world of trouble.

Given he won a fifth WDC today in Mexico, I don't think it's too off topic.
Back to the race though, Max drove brilliantly, gutted for Danny Ric yet again. He's got to be praying with all his might that his Renault is more reliable next season, because if it isn't I can see it getting explosive there.
Seb did all he could, he conducted himself with good grace and composure after the race and that is a credit to him. I hope he comes back stronger next season.
The Mercedes was awful here yet again, and I'm sure Allison will be trying his hardest to steer the W10 more towards his philosophy, because it is clearly the right one in F1.
It's starting to look like Renault have fourth nailed on and that Force India won't quite catch McLaren. Speaking of which, I was stoked to see Vandorne get his points, and saddened yet again by what happened to Alonso. It's not right how he's leaving the sport.
