Russell expects Verstappen to back Norris into field | RACER
George Russell says Max Verstappen will back up the pack if he retains his lead at the start of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, but that the title fight is over if Lando Norris gets into first place.

Verstappen loses the title by just 2 points 
Congrats to Norris, he earned this title

The minute Leclerc's times behind Norris got longer, it was over. Yuki was as useless as tits on a bull as per usual. But he's also out so what did he care? Also... even if Norris had gotten a 5-sec penalty for his pass (lots of online debates on that one!) he still would have gotten 3rd. Car was too fast! Max deserves a second salary for putting Red Bull into 3rd in the constructors single-handed. Can't wait to see how the changes to cars affect the races next year. Time for Newey to shine once again?
And down 100 points at some point, to come within 2? I'm sure he wishes he didn't hit George in Spain when he lost those 9.Verstappen loses the title by just 2 points

This was great on his part, absolutely cold but good on him.
And wth? I can't believe how fast the season went by, I remember Yuki's first warm-up in the RedBull in Japan. Holy shit!
Max is the best driver on the circuit. But his rise this year was aided in part by the two McLaren drivers battling for the top spot
If they did not fire Perez, Max probably woulda won. I guess that is why Marko is leaving.
Always helps for sure, but they figured out the car, and after that Max dominated.
Also Marko
The comments are interesting about what Marko thought he could do once Horner was gone.
100% the British press have been asking him baited questions for years, love the way he slaps back. Reminds me of the “I don’t give a fuck what you think“ attitude that Raikkonen always had.
They're absolute douchebags to him but he "slaps back" (gonna use that one) real good, "You have this stupid grin on your face"
I can't tell if that's Kravitz or someone else asking him.
From the voice I don’t think it was Kravitz or anyone else from Sky but he’s certainly had his issues with Kravitz in the past.They're absolute douchebags to him but he "slaps back" (gonna use that one) real good, "You have this stupid grin on your face"
I can't tell if that's Kravitz or someone else asking him.
I just assumed Kravitz, because he's trash. lol But it really was a P.O.S. move by the reporter since Max already addressed the incident with regret.
