Seen that, writing been on the wall for a while. Guess he will buy a seat somewhere else, no shortage of funds at least.

Bernie confirming what everyone has been saying for years: The FIA want Ferrari to win.
Ecclestone: Mercedes helped Ferrari become title rival

Mercedes helping Ferrari beat them has a definite whiff of tin foil about it, lol 
That FIA politics have always favoured the main four, and especially Ferrari, is hardly a secret. That's how F1 is set up. Don't think anyone has ever pretended anything else.

Not a perfect run for Lewis, but certainly good enough. Just needs to stay out of trouble tomorrow.
Really hoped Max would clinch the top spot but the German pipped him to it... How close was that Here's hoping Max jumps Vettel at the start

Yep, completely agree. Behaving like a spoilt child who has never heard the word no.
One of the many reasons I have a great dislike for him.

Job done, world champion, fourth time
Great race by Max, thoroughly well deserved win.
But Vettel, lol, good recovery in fairness, but running into the rear of the championship leader, then going off the track under overtaking, etc. - nothing. Is there anything at all that would earn a Ferrari a penalty

well deserved win for Lewis in fairness but more excited with Max's form. Cant wait to see if he can do anything next season.

Another great race at COTA, really enjoyed it. Opening ceremony was pure American but sure, they need to keep growing their fan base over here so I can handily attend more races
Pity Max got a penalty, he had the room to make it stick but gaining a podium on the last lap by having all 4 wheels off the kerb wasn’t the brightest move, especially against a red car. If it was further down the grid I don’t think he would have had the spotlight on him. It’s the “gaining an advantage” part that counts, you can drive off the track all day but if the stewards deem that you gained an advantage (i.e gain a position) by doing so, you’ll be penalized. Hate it for the guy because he had a great race and deserved it but to me the stewards made the right call. He can put it down as a relatively expensive lesson learned.
Also enjoyed Mexico. It was tense watching Lewis, Max & Seb 3-abreast into the first corner fighting for the lead, there was always going to be contact. It really was Vettels mistake again, he knew he had to be 1st or 2nd and seeing Max & Lewis pass him after he broke his front wing was something he knew he couldn’t recover from. Maybe purposely touching Hamilton, giving him a little ankle-tap? Still good watching them both fight up through the field. All it took was Max or Bottas to have a failure and Kimi would have certainly let Seb through to 2nd.
Congrats to Hamilton another Championship under the belt. I thought it was going to be a close fight to the last race but Ferrari’s technical negligence and Vettels personal issues / bad attitude sunk them this year. Mercedes kept up the consistency and Lewis didn’t let anything distract him which was a nice change, great driving all year. Who knows, Bottas might be 2nd by the end of it, he’s only 15 points behind Vettel.
Alonso's beating a dead horse with the same old "we had the fastest car today" comments. No you didn't.
