It would be great if it goes to a last race shootout. Abu Dhabi is more of an even track than Jeddah. Hence, it would be down to performance at every level in each team. And there would be no loss of face for whichever team loses. Both would have proved they were deserving of winning the 2021 titles.

They need to make a better decision on minimum outlap speeds in my opinion. There is just too much potential for something to go really wrong if they don't police this now.

The plot thickens. Verstappen tops FP3 before the qualy showdown. HAHA bring it on!
To complicate things, Hamilton is summoned to the Steward's office for impeding Mazapin and Gasly and ignoring double yellow flags. The Yellow flag aspect has been dropped by the stewards. But it is not clear what they are going to decide concerning the impeding aspect. A weird penalty would steal the fight at the front from us the fans. I hope they don't dish out a penalty that affects the fight for the championship.Last edited by Nitrodaze; 4th December 2021 at 16:05.

Bloody hell. What an amazing lap by Verstappen that ends in the walls. That would have placed him on pole. Car damage and on his back foot going into the race.
Hamilton got a free gift there. Bottas on form again. Perez 5th and not what Redbull would want. It is all about strategy now and a great start.Last edited by Nitrodaze; 4th December 2021 at 17:04.

That was "all in" drive, through that lap. If he has gearbox damage, it could be very costly. I am quite astonished as to where Redbull found 0.400s to Mercedes with fresh engine on a fast-flowing track. Whatever the case, Verstappen was on the very ragged edge of adhesion. It was a truly fantastic drive.
About the steward's decision; It is very distracting to leave it till the end of the session. They had plenty of time to call on those infractions. Now, the outcome of qualy would influence their decision.Last edited by Nitrodaze; 4th December 2021 at 17:53.

Hmmm .
Where was that "spice" they've been talking about ?
Too bad Max tagged the wall there , as Lewis was hoping to heroically overtake him to steal the points away in the last laps of the race , miraculously leaving the two gallant racers tied going to the final race of the season , a truly epic finale .
Maybe there's a way to employ the "magic" button again , to get Max ahead for a while .

I missed qualy but I see Hamilton has been summoned to the Stewards for something to do with double waved yellows. Grid penalty incoming?
