Perez grinds to a halt and he had a new engine. VSC.

Both Verstappen and Hamilton saying they don't think their tyres will last the distance and it's just over half-way through the race.

Sebs last pit stop for Ferrari. Bet he's happy with that.

There we are, ladies and gentlemen. The season that almost wasn't ends with a damp squib.
The commentary team on BBC 5Live might not get a visa next year as they spent the last ten laps complaining about how the track never produces good races and that there have apparently been promises of changes, but they've never happened. Thanks for riding along in 2020. Hopefully we'll all get to actually go to some races in 2021! |

Im guessing this was a planned photo op?
Either way, nice for Merc to act like they won here again! |

Luckily it’s doubtful anyone was listening to the Children on Radio 5 live......

Unfortunately for the second GP in a row, I had no choice. Palmer's actually alright, it's the other two, particularly James Allen who frequently engages his mouth before he engages his brain. |

palmer continues to sound as if he has some rejection issues from his time in f1 that he needs to work through with a professional. |

All over for this year and a year to forget, but certainly a race best forgotten.

It’s amazing how adversity can bring people together for common goals. I prefer to reflect on the good parts on how people became more caring, shared common goals on building ventilators, getting a vaccine to market quickly and reduced BS/ politics to make sure sport could continue |

Man that was a tedious race and that was with DRS - don't think that there would have been more than 2 or 3 passes or close contests at least without the DRS. Good to see RB finish the year on a high, clearly something amiss at Mercedes that the team doesn't want to be open about and so good to see McLaren moving forward again this year. |

I sort of enjoyed the race, even though it was pretty processional. My bias probably let me enjoy seeing max win and running away from hamilton, so I'll own that.
Surprised more criticism wasn't levied at albon. With mercedes down on pace, and his teammate extending his lead as the race went on, on equal strategy, he fell further and further back after the safety car to settle in around 6 seconds behind third. He closed that up at the very end, but still. A non factor when his car was capable of at least a podium. Does anyone else notice the track resembling an assault rifle? The last few turns are the trigger, the start finish straight is the handle in the middle, then there's the point of the gun and butt of it on opposite ends. |

A sad way to end my run of grand prix.
It seems like I have run out of options to watch F1. No more BBC, Channel 4 or other British FTA No more RTL Television in Germany. F1 will move to Sky in Germany too. I don't think I missed a single race in the last 23 years (granted, some were recorded and watched later) but everything has been moved behind a paywall now and as it stands I have no options left of watching it. Thanks a lot, Liberty! |
