Good on Lando for winning his first WC.
Thanks to Max for putting a few $$$ into my account.
Oscar, stay positive, your time will come.

I think - all things considered - the right boys were on the podium and glad Oscar beat Lando at least

Definitely a tight season and lots of little moments that with hindsight could have had any of the top 3 winning it.

Also a season where individual driver and car characteristics changed who was the fastest car from race to race, and allowed others into the top 3.

Hopefully next year will be just as tight, but I doubt it.l with an the rules changes.

Suspect at the end Oscars tyre we’re going off and Lando didn’t need to risk trying to overtake Oscar

I have my 3 day pass and lounge access ready for Albert Park 2026!
Some changes will hopefully spice it up.
DTS will have some predictably good storylines

I have forgotten multiple times this season that it's only Oscar's 3rd F1 season, while this is Lando's 7th - the fact that Oscar made it a fight, let alone was leading for the majority of the season, is pretty damn promising. Mclaren letting Max back in with a hope is, well, a bit laughable.

If anyone is gonna be at Suzuka or Zandvoort next year, let me know Hopefully we see some better racing with MOM deployments

Lando stepped up when it counted and those 4 extra seasons over Oscar proved vital when things got tight. Oscar really suffered with that dip in form, Baku was a defining race for him especially after the winning in 2024 with some brilliant overtakes.
Without the engine failure at Zandvoort Lando would have been pretty comfortable in winning the championship. Incredible that McLaren allowed Max to gain so much ascendancy in the back half of the season.
Still papaya rules delivered a constructor's championship and a drivers championship and a third place in drivers championship. Entertaining season and will definitely be an interesting start next season with all new rule changes for the cars.

Not sure how much was lack of form, versus lack of experience/ less applicable driving style on the street circuits.
