So if I am right, even if SV wins all remaining races and LH to finish 2nd and every race it would still be LH WDC!

you;re right mate....

If Lewis finishes 3rd in every race left Seb will have to win them all. They would be equal on points and Seb would have more wins.

Btw complete rainfest predicted at Sazuka GP, one of our biggest weaknesses

[stefa]

you;re right mate....

So it is game over!

[nani_s23]

It’s better to concentrate on next year project n come out on top.

It's even worse, Ham needs one 2nd place and he can finish 3rd the rest of the races

Even that sounds not possibe....

Ferrari lost straight line speed advantage too. Which means there’s some set back

Alnost every year after summer break

They don't deserve it

They don't deserve it

Why not?! Car is faster, driver and team made less mistakes...

[jgonzalesm6]

Lewis actually feels for Bottas....he knows Bottas won this race.

[512 TR]

Even that sounds not possibe....

Of course not because Lewis will at least score som 2nd places and Seb will obviously not win them all.

As for the WCC. We are now 53 points behind. Even three 1-2 in a row will not be enough to take the lead as that's 16x3 = 48 points more.

And the worst thing is that i cant see a scenario of Vet capable of winning the 5 remaining races,with our current performance.Unless we have something really special in the pipeline ,something that i dont think is happening!!!!

Just for the cameras

Blancpain season finale if anyone interested in proper racing.

If Hamilton had any integrity he would have told team that he was going to let Bottas back through.
Mercedes cannot ever say we let our drivers race.
They were going to finish 1,2 anyway.

[Schumiklub]

Just had no speed today, P3 was the maximum we could expect. Just when you look at Spa, we were mighty. So fast, now we're nowhere all of a sudden.

We were nowhere in Singapore too

And sometimes, very rarely, impossible things just happen. Remember 2007? I will continue to support Ferrari and continue to believe that Ferrari may still win this year's championship, until it is mathematically impossible.

[doublesixes]

Back to square one. This car will not take us to the land of milk and honey. I have no idea what Ferrari does during the summer break but all I can say is that it doesn't work. Ferrari always ends up a weaker team.

I know, something happened after Monza, we lost something somewhere.

Funny comment.

Sebastian's declarations confirm he's not a racer, 'I didn't know where he was so I left space'.
I'm done with him, he will never be champion again if he has to fight in races.
Hope Leclerc is a new Hamilton/Verstappen in this area.

[ChrisFerrari]

If anyone had any remaining hope/doubts about this season's outcome, there you have the answer.
50 pts down with 6 races to go. That's I-M-P-O-S-S-I-B-L-E to recover. We've had our miracle in 2007, now dont expect it for a while to happen again..
I hope Seb learns from his mistakes otherwise next years gonna be similar.
Thank God the NBA starts soon, see you guys in March.

[Hornet]

I can understand why Merc did it, but if we were in the same position, I'm not sure if I want to see Ferrari doing the same.
Lewis already have a 40 points lead.

Anyway, P3 was the best we could hope for. Hopefully we'll be stronger in the remaining races, make life difficult for Merc's championship at the very least

Exactly that !!!!!

[512 TR]

The only logical place for Merc to have a DNF is in Mexico in the higher altitude. That's what happened in Austria. Maybe the strain on engines at Suzuka but that will be a risk for everyone.
