Quali was interesting, Kimi, Max, and Isaak lead the pack.  Ferrari was fast all during practice but not so much at quali.  George just wasn't up to speed.  If Kimi wins and George is 7th or less and Lewis 5th or less then Kimi could be the youngest world champion by the end of the day.  We will know in a few hours.

Race was a good one Kimi won and should win the Championship next race in Mexico which is next week.  Leclerc  was second with max 3rd.  There was around 1.5 seconds between 2nd and 4th.  Kimi was out in front and they were closing, but would need an additional 20 laps to make it interesting.  Norris gambled with a 1 stop strategy and lost 2 places in two turns almost loosing them in one turn.  A late virtual safety car basically locked the finish in place.  But up until then Lewis (4th) was closing on Max (3rd) who was closing on Charles (2nd).  A lot of good defensive driving and passing attempts.

See you next Sunday in Mexico.
