Formula 1 Emirates United States Grand Prix 2019

Bottas was too hard on himself. He should've enjoyed being the only driver to beat the world champion fair and square, the day he got his title. That's no easy feat against a very strong Hamilton that has become a master in the art of stealing races that aren't his.

Not a big fan of Bottas, but he is our only hope of making the championship lively next year (Max could as well, but I am not sure he has the maturity to keep it tight for a whole season while fighting for the title)
I hope this gives him that extra boost of confidence to take the challenge to Hamilton next year, and stop being the sad unspectacular driver that stalls when he's at overtaking reach from someone, and keeps living in the shadow of his number one and congratulating him from the 2nd or 3rd position on the podium.

In the end, we have had a race with some midfield battles, drama in the pitlane for a frontrunner and a crash (if you want to call it that way) for his teammate, a late overtake because of different strategies, and a 3 way fight till the end for the podium. And Albon did an amazing job recovering from his first lap pit stop. All elements for an amazing race. So why didn't it feel amazing?

perhaps is because there's too much races and in the end we just want to finish it soon

This is certainly a factor. The more races there are, the less special each race becomes. Something Liberty fails to understand.

if we get tired, imagine how the team crews and other people that goes around with F1 feel, some of them stay home for about 15% of the year

Eh, more racing is good. We wouldn't be having this conversation if the cars and most of the tracks weren't crap.

If that team didn't win all god damn races and this time was leading from the start for another, even more than previous times, VERY dissapointed result for Ferrari.

If the on-track battles were more fun instead of a blow by DRS, if the track was more like a track and less like an artificial car park.

If the casters were more like casters instead of biased morons that makes you wanna stop watching the race midway or curse it so loud that the whole building think you are crazy.

Then I would probably enjoy this more. Had a blast a Mexico tough. One of the best dry races on this era.

I believe Mercedes should follow Ferrari path and start failing more during races. They don't need to want to follow, they just must do it
