i love the speculation that HAM could take a yet another new engine and get a 5 place grid penalty and win the race by 20 seconds if he can get past MAX without contact.

VER on pole but wrecked his yellows in Q2 so he's starting on the softs which have high deg.
HAM P2
NOR P3
PER P4
SAI P5
BOT P6

time for race predictions!

and who throws in the towel on this year and puts budget-capped resources on the '22 car?

i do got a feeling Max has it on Sunday

As Mazepin has already qualified for the event, Haas is unable to replace him for the race, meaning Mick Schumacher will solely represent the team in Abu Dhabi.

only letting some cars unlap isn't sitting well with me. i think this is more spectacle than sport and i didn't feel that way until these last few races.

i thought they would red flag it to reset the order and give us a four lap battle
