Red flag as in qualifying in Brazil as Hamilton loses it on his first lap in Q1.

This is your 10 minuteish alarm for the start of the Brazil GP.
Nothing up for grabs anymore, so Hamilton could provide entertainment coming from the back. It's also Felipe Massa's last F1 race in Brazil (again).

Safety car already.
Ricciardo went spinning after contact with Vandoorne in the first few corners and Ocon and Grosjean took each other out.
Magnussen is also out.

It ended up being a close finish with the top 4 covered by 5.5 seconds. Vettel won, Bottas second, Kimi gets the last step on the podium. Hamilton finished in 4th, just behind them.
It was also close further down with Massa holding off Alonso and Perez by less than a second to finish 7th.
One more race to go this season.

And the NHRA Season has wrapped up at the NHRA World Finals in Pomona.
Brittney Force wins her first Top Fuel Championship, after points leader Steve Torrence goes out second round. Brittney becomes the second ever female NHRA Top Fuel World Champion after Shirley Muldowney.
Robert Hight wins his second Funny Car Championship, all thanks to John Force throwing a race against him back in Vegas.
Bo Butner wins his first Pro Stock World Championship.
Eddie Kraewic wins his fourth Pro Stock Motorcycle Championship.

Gotta say, he isn't wrong. I've hated the Countdown for the Championship since its inception in 2007. This year, you had two guys that had probably the most wins in both Top Fuel and Funny Car with 8 each (I think that's correct), and both of them got 2nd, because most of their wins happened before the "Playoffs."

Steve Torrence's comments about the countdown echo mine (and many others) about the NASCAR system. Sports that for so long rewarded consistency tooled with things in the name of ratings and the dollar. And no one is watching! Well, no more than before, anyway.

I feel the playoff systems have hurt NASCAR and NHRA more than helped. You get shit like John Force pulled at Las Vegas to help his son-in-law win the title.

Testify Brother Torrence!
There is no need to complicate things. You run X amount of races. Drivers are awarded points based on where they finish the race, MAYBE a bonus for leading a lap or having the fastest lap in a race. At the end of the season, whoever had the most points is your champion. No double points races or complicated playoff schemes. The way things are going in NASCAR, in 3 years drivers will start the race 20 yards from their car and will have to rush to said car in a sack race while balancing an egg on a spoon in their mouths.
