Why don’t RB & other teams protest now, when Merc are doing fastest laps on old tyres ??

They protest only if it is ferrari... ahhhh got it

Atleast Ferrari saved the podium by pitting him for softs. Well done Charles.

If so, please after the podium

**nani_s23** · 1st December 2019, 13:52

End of the horrible season....!!

Only saving grace is Lec & his 7 pole positions.

4th & 5th in WDC not good at all.

Yup...I can't blame the FIA if they penalizes Ferrari.

**paolo lalli** · 1st December 2019, 13:52

Just look at the time gaps between positions 1 to 5 totally ridiculous.Mercedes are miles ahead and 2020 looks like it's in the bag already.lord help every other team period.

**chinmay** · 1st December 2019, 13:52

Party time at Sky.

**Arcana** · 1st December 2019, 13:52

A real borefest. At least Charles got 3rd. It was a disappointing season and I'm afraid 2020 will be another Merc dominance.

I saw RB getting DQ from Quali with similar instance.
FIA being harsh on Ferrari these days. Everything is on ferrari only. Let’s c

**tifosi1993** · 1st December 2019, 13:53

Could'be been an easy P3 in the championship...if not for Vettel's bonehead move at the last race.

**nani_s23** · 1st December 2019, 13:54

I saw max making fun of Ferrari pit on the radio. Such is our season.

If ferrari doesn’t get their act next season. Then it’s not only merc who are fast, they need to fight with Albon & Max RB next season.

**nani_s23** · 1st December 2019, 13:56

I have high hopes next season with Mattia & Lec.

You're right, but in fact 4x times 2nd. in the WCC during the last 5 years..Can you imagine..

**Vettel165** · 1st December 2019, 13:58

Boring. Seb with engine issue than they destroy him in the pit stop, can it be any worse for him. Its a relief the season is finally over.

Race pace we are nowhere Bottas starting last nearly Got Charles as the end. They are dominant.

**nani_s23** · 1st December 2019, 13:59

Congrats to Lewis ....!! Hope there is a break coming soon for him.
Forza Ferrari .. next season.

Vettel looks disappointed on the radio.

You are right. I can hardly imagine that a team like Ferrari, with all it's money and resources, are finishing P2....Clearly exceeded my expectations....

**paolo lalli** · 1st December 2019, 14:03

Ferrari pit wall and strategists to be totally cleaned out .They belong in formula Billy carts.In a way you can't blame tulip top for making fun of Ferrari pit wall.Rest assured max will never be at Ferrari.

Seb is the biggest LIABILITY of the team, unfortunately and shamefully.

**FranksterGM** · 1st December 2019, 14:19

Man what a season.
Some victories at least..... But we all expected a lot more.
Next year..... well next year.... we will see hey.

It's now 12 years after we had WDC. Well, there are still another 12 years.

Get real. Charles is also not error free. Far from it. Both were bad in some races this year and they have crashed or spin around, but so did Max and other drivers. They are both very quick and arent lacking any pace. But the team is bad in all departments. Strategy, Management, reliability and car not good in the corners.Never ending story.
