This race was really enjoyable, nail-biting almost end to end.

Vettel is disappointing though. I really think that Hamilton deserves the title better as a driver, and Mercedes as a team because they really play their cards beautifully race after race.

Sure they "sacrify" Bottas from time to time, but they always seem to do it sensibly and only when he isn't a contender for victory anymore, not disgustingly like Ferrari does with Kimi. My heart was with Ferrari this season for some reason, but I admire what Mercedes, Hamilton and Bottas are currently doing. Masterclass F1 stuff, from driving to strategy to race tactics, in an arguably slightly slower package.

Yea, I agree with this completely. It's gotten harder to support Ferrari anymore and I'm entirely convinced now that Vettel simply lacks composure under pressure that Hamilton has in spades by this point and thus deserves the title.

#MeToo, just do not agree with the statement that Bottas "helped" Hamilton. Bottas was slow the whole race, could not overtake Red Bull! We all know that a slower car - Bottas - can not hold a faster car - Kimi - in... Monza! Nobody can. Kimi was slow even, "per se."

But exactly, Mercedes knew Bottas was slower than Kimi so they kept him out so Kimi would be slowed down too. That allowed Hamilton to catch up to Kimi and then to hold off Hamilton, Kimi would have to abuse his tyres which were older than Hamilton's. I guess you could say Bottas being so slow helped Hamilton, but it did undoubtedly help Hamilton.

Think. If Bottas was slower than Kimi, why in hell Kimi not overtake him in MONZA!!!??? Dãããã, because Kimi in that time don't had a faster car, right? Is the only way to don't overtake a slower car right?... Where is Bottas's support? There are NO Bottas helping Hamilton in MONZA, was an amazing victory, a self made victory.

Spell/grammar checking posts is for nerds.

You know where you are, right?

Try to write in Portuguese (Portugal portuguese). Do as I do with "my" Google/english. I bet it gets much worse. Correcting people's grammar is more positive than trying to be funny by being ironic. It turns out to be just lack of education. (Google translate)

portuguese classes are a bitch in school

english language classes were better even though I suck at writing and pronouncing

We're not making fun of your grasp of the English language, which is excellent. It's just that one post of yours, it is a word salad. Which is funny.

As a native Portuguese speaker as well, I agree. It was pretty funny.
