Lol, they did everything right. No dude, actually mercedese weren't upto the speed today. That's all, don't think redbull have caught W11's might. It was an issue with MGU in mercedese power cars all over the grid.

Firstly, haven't Mercedes been developing next years car since mid-season? Secondly, hadn't Hamilton just got over a serious dose of Coronavirus? Thirdly, something about this feels like Farrai's sudden upturn in speed last season.

F1 is so clearly rigged it is painful to watch. For commercial reasons, they wanted Red Bull to have a pole/win before the season ended so as to keep interest up in what is a declining audience. So they obviously turned down the Merc Engine power for this race which gave Max a chance to do better than they otherwise would have. In sports all key decisions are made away from public eye.
Ciaron Smith

@b&srbck Mercedes don't have a choice if the Private Equity firm that owns the sport tells them to do it for commercial reasons. It's a business, not a pure sport.

I don't know what to make of this... it's quite unexpected, is Merc playing a game trying to make F1 look more interesting by turning down their engines and allowing someone else to win?
Ron DLH

@b&srbck They only had to worry about Verstappen, so let Verstappen win and let Bottas finish 2nd with Hamilton guarding his back. This seems to be their safest play to guard their interests. Challenging Verstappen could have unexpected results, and so would have an engine failure

Why oh why do those at Sky make hay out of nothing when it comes to Max? When will their Red Bull worship considered unprofessional? Are they too close to Horner? Every single race Hamilton dispatch of the field they dismiss as nothing special running in clean air and not having to pass anyone yet as soon as the power was turned down on the championship-winning Mercs they all behave as though Red Bull is the best since sliced bread. Watching the live race I am also not impressed with the total 180 by Anthony Davidson, why can't h=the state the obvious the Mercedes did not make a single effort to win that boring race? Sending two cars into a race with a less than optimal engine mode is folly and robbed the real Mercedesfans of a good race. Another leg up For Red Bull to keep Honda in the race. Pityful.

Glad HAM is on the mend, but gutted RUS didn't get a second go in the _W11._ There was no way HAM's health would be restored 100% in time for _Abu Dhabi._ *Congrats, VER!* Robbed of record of youngest Grand Slam winner in _F1_ history by RIC's brilliant fastest lap... The dominant win tells only half the story since _Toto_ confirmed that _Merc_ ran their powertrains conservatively as they had unresolved issues. These issues are thought to have caused the recent engine failures in their customer cars. I hope I'm wrong, but paddock rumour has it that _Merc_ have stolen a march on the field in terms of developing the 2021 car. 4:53 HAM all but confirms he will be on the grid in 2022... ;-) Looking forward to ALO's return! His laps in the _screaming R25_ were my highlight of the race weekend! ;-)
