[mwk360]

seb pushing the car to almost breaking limits

[Christopher]

Did Bottas get a penalty for the corner cut I can't remember him getting one

[mwk360]

next year seb & leclerc going to destroy mercs hopefully

[512 TR]

Yes! Kimi 3rd in the WDC. At least he did his part this season...with four DNFs.

But if RBR protest the Merc rims and have Merc DSQed then Max will end up 3rd ahead of Kimi. But since it's not a win up for grabs they probably won't.

[tifosi1993]

LOL Alonso not giving any ****

[mwk360]

Did Bottas get a penalty for the corner cut I can't remember him getting one

nope he is a merc driver lol

[mwk360]

vsc decision by mercs gave easy win to ham

[tifosi1993]

Bring on next year.

[Schumiklub]

Can't wait for next year with Vettel and Leclerc. We can do it! We need to always keep Bottas at distance and pressure Hamilton and I believe Leclerc can be very consistent.

[IulianFerrari]

Best part of this race is Bottas 5th in the WDC

[tifosi1993]

Driver of the day: Alonso. Farewell legend.

[Ferrarichamp]

Best part of this race is Bottas 5th in the WDC

was it 3 wins last year? to 0 this year.

[mwk360]

Best part of this race is Bottas 5th in the WDC

LOOOOOL you serious best car and 5th

[512 TR]

Mentally wise I believe it's important for Ferrari to now have both cars ahead of one Merc. At least there's a progress even if it's a slow one. Now they only need one more step and not two. Bottas ending up 5th is a huge blow for him.

[doublesixes]

We were just not good enough to overcome the hideous Merc/Ham duo.

[barzini77]

LOOOOOL you serious best car and 5th

Pretty bad season from Valtteri when Kimi had 4 DNFs and Max had the same 2 as Valtteri. But RedBull was not a threat to Mercs/Ferraris until the last part of the season.

[tifosi1993]

Best part of this race is Bottas 5th in the WDC

Shows the current state of F1. Alonso gone and Dani Ric will drive a midfield car next year. And Bottas, who shouldn't be driving in a top team anyway, will have a great car next year.

[KimiBot]

Bring on next year.

Yeah. Interesting season ahead.

[tifosi1993]

11 World Championships. Three greatest drivers of this generation. Farewell Fernando.

[KimiBot]

nice pic

[mwk360]

cant wait for next year, like MA said leclerc has plenty of time so i just want him to be consistent and work as a team on track, we should hopefully do next year what mercs did this year with bot making easy victories for ham as much as possible. our dyno is a problem but hopefully we can fix it in time , lots of issues second half of the season but we are much better than previous years so its only getting better. Passing of SM hurt the team but there was a lot of potential while he was here to hopefully inspire to get even better

[mwk360]

Kimi is P3 right? ahead of max & bot??

[Hornet]

Love the champions donuts at the end, a great conclusion to the season.

great race by the seb

[512 TR]

For next year it will take something special to have a start just as good as this year. Especially for Seb who won the first two races. So while many concentrate on Ferrari for some reason losing out in the 2nd part of the season it's important to remember not to have a bad start as it otherwise might be an uphill battle all year.

My biggest fear is that Ferrari don't have the infrastructure to fully compete in a 20+ race season, especially without unlimted on-track testing. One has to remember there were only 17-18 races in 2007 and 2008, and testing was allowed. I hope it's something they are taking seriously reagrding quality control etc.

[ferrari1.8t]

Bring on next year.

Heard that before...I hope for a change too. It’s not just Ferrari fans, but F1 fans need something different. Formula-Mercedes-Pirelli has has been the worst 5 years in F1 history imo. 100 races in the turbo era, 74 Mercedes wins, 83 Mercedes poles. That’s domination on a completely different level.

Here’s to 2019! Forza Ferrari

Yeah now I know how everyone else must have felt during the Schumi years Arrivabene said that Ferrari have already started work on the 2019 car and have already done a first run on the engine here's hoping 2019 is finally our year again

[Kingdom Hearts]

It's amazing Ferrari didn't win the WCC taking in to account how mediocre it's Bottas.
