VEGAS GP : George race win, Max World Champion

George Russell had a sublime race as he lead from Pole to win the race at Las Vegas. Max became a four time World Champion. Lewis and Sainz came P2 and P3.

George Magic at Vegas

George Russell had a super drive as he lead from the Pole to win the race at Las Vegas. Mercedes showed some exceptional pace which even they are not able to figure out where it came from. Most likely it is the colder temperatures which worked in the favour of Mercedes. George was concerned whether he will be able to convert the Pole to a race win or not. Ferrari looked mighty strong in Race Pace. However George got a great start and he kept his nose ahead at the first turn. From then on wards there was no looking back. George had some solid pace and was ahead the entire race. There were no yellow/red flags throughout the race and George won smoothly.

Equally impressive was Lewis Hamilton who won Driver of the Day. He looked very strong in the practice sessions. However the Q3 session of Qualifying did not go well and he had to start P10. Lewis did an impressive job in his fast Mercedes and kept moving up the grid to eventually finish P2 in the race. A Mercedes 1-2 has come after a long time. However it has to be seen whether Mercedes are able to maintain the pace or not. Currently they are in a lonely 4th position in the Constructor’s Championship and that is unlikely to change.

Ferrari overshadowed by Mercs at Vegas

Ferrari had a strong pace in the practice sessions and they looked good overall. Mercedes then came out of nowhere and they were clearly quicker than the Ferraris. Still the Ferrari drivers did a decent job and finished P3 and P4, behind the two Mercs. They are very much in the battle for Constructor’s title against McLaren and Red Bulls. Ferrari needs to keep the pace and maintain the momentum as they head in the final two races.

Max World Champion at Vegas

Max has showed this year why he truly deserves to win the World Championship. Despite not having the fastest car all the time he did not put a step out and got every ounce of performance from the car. When he did not have the fastest car he tried to maximize the result. When he did, he ensured that he was P1. Experience did play a big role. He did not buckle under pressure and kept on chipping. Max truly is one of the all time greats of Formula 1

McLaren fumble at Vegas

This weekend was just not meant to be for the Papaya team. They did not have the pace and finished a lowly P6 and P7. Lando is out of the race for World Championship. However the Constructors battle is well and truly on and they are currently leading it. They need to put everything together for the final two race if they want to wins the Constructors.

Hulkenburg was again impressive to score P8. Yuki Tsunoda got P9 and Checo got the final point at P10.

Vegas GP : George winner, Max World Champion.
