Thoroughly enjoyed no DRS for the first 18 or so laps.

I'd really like to see DRS either go away, or be able to use it whenever, without the 1 second gap bs to the car in front. I felt the race was far better without it.

Good win for Lewis. Not exactly close up front at the end, except for Bottas trying to catch Le Clerc when his soft tires went away in the last few laps.

So about those Lewis rumors and him going to Ferrari. I think he’d make a great pairing with Leclerc.

https://www.bbc.com/sport/formula1/50624370

I read that Toto was being tapped by the FIA for a leadership role and that Lewis had a meeting with John Elkann that he neither confirmed nor denied. Would Seb go to Alfa Romeo to partner Antonio Giovinazzi then


all of this speculation of course at this point. I think that was the only interesting bit about Abu Dhabi for me.
