FORMULA 1 ETIHAD AIRWAYS ABU DHABI GRAND PRIX 2025
Felt like the perfect final race to represent the season, in many ways. It was tense, but also kinda boring. It was uncertain but also anticlimactic.
Congratulations to Norris. He was good enough to capitalise when he was in a car good enough to be champion. I have a hard time getting excited for the win when Max is showing there are levels to this, and honestly I don't think Norris is even the second best driver on the grid. But F1 history is full of champions like that. Hell, the very first champion in F1 - Farina - won his title despite never finishing in front of his teammate in any race they both finished. And recently we've had the likes of Button and Rosberg.
I'm happy we got an actual title fight, and I'm happy we got to have some tension over the past few months. Incredible comeback from Red Bull, and absolutely insane driving by Max to make it this close.
It's been a crazy year with how tight the field has been in laptimes, which hasn't really meant too much great racing but qualy has been a consistent banger. And how fitting it was that the last qualy of the season was one of the tightest all season. Now with the new regs it will probably be a good long while until the field converges again. Get ready for some 2-4 second gaps again across the field.
That being said, I'm incredibly hyped for next season. I hope I'm not disappointed!
Just as crazy as the drivers, is Merc taking second in the constructors too. Just so many top 5 finishes racking up a steady haul of points.
Yeah it is really incredible that after 24 races, the fights was at the end. I hope you continue your write up next year ! Really liked that!
Thanks! I know I've trailed off a little in the quality of the writeups over the past months, but I'll try to pick up again last year and do better. I do enjoy writing to collect my thoughts after a race but I'm glad someone likes reading them too!
Yas Marina sucks. It's a boring race overall.
Congrats Lando. ๐โโ๏ธ
Yuki: "I just wanna go home, sit on the sofa and eat something good. We've been away since Las Vegas. For next year I'll get into shape again, get a sixpack and then we'll see."
Hasnโt properly sunk in then. Poor guy.
Wtf who just played with Lando's hair from off-camera? ๐
MBS
Eugh, you can see noris hugging everyone before being weighed, but tried to slide under MBS's out stretched arm and got pulled back in for a hug
Marko is just telling Austrian TV he is sceptical whether Red Bull will be near the top next year, given that they're developing their own engine for the first time
And anyone should be skeptical of anything coming out of Markoโs mouth
Marko probably maybe hinted towards Sky Germany, that he might not be around next year. They ended the interview with Marko wishing him everything well and that they see each other next year but Marko answered vaguely, hinting that they don't see each other next year.
Racist sexist grandpa has left the building
Fixed:
Congrats Lando. He can basically thank Kimi for the championship. If Kimi didn't crash into Max in Austria, Max would have surely won it. Max had despite the shitbox in the first half of the season a pretty clean season, while McLaren had two crashes with no one else to blame but themselves.
Edit: forgot this one, Kimi cutting off Piastri in Brazil. Kimi is truly the Goat
If Kimi didn't crash into Max in Austria, Max would have surely won it.
And if my grandmother had wheels, she would have been a bicycle. Some other ifs would have led to Norris being champion weeks ago.
Max himself admitted that "everything went red" when he crashed into George out of frustration in Spain. By that logic he cost himself the championship.
