Russell took the lead at the first corner before all the chaos brought out the safety car.

Verstappen didn’t actually hit anyone, he just ran out of room trying to avoid Leclerc and Perez after they touched.

Russell not exactly used to being at the front of these restarts LOL.

The fact that the laps are going by in under a minute is still absolutely bonkers

Mercedes screw up both pit stops under the safety car, they put the wrong tyres on Russell which caused confusion for Bottas.

Mercedes have absolutely f***ed up in Safety Car pit stops, and now Perez (who got spun around on Lap 1 and is UNEMPLOYED for 2021, mind you) leads it late!

SERGIO PEREZ WINS IT IN THE RACING POINT, becomes Formula 1’s 110th race winner, and the first Mexican to do so in 50 years!

Got to feel sorry for George Russell, but well done to Perez, it was a well deserved win considering he was at the back at the end of the first lap.

Props to Ocon as well, a career best 2nd place. This means that 13 drivers of 23 that have contested races in 2020 have finished on the podium at least once (Hamilton, Bottas, Verstappen, Albon, Vettel, Leclerc, Sainz, Norris, Ricciardo, Ocon, Perez, Stroll and Gasly).

The irony is Russel got screwed over by someone driving his own car

Almost time for the last race of F1 for the season, the Abu Dhabi night race. Hamilton back in, having passed his COVID tests, but Verstappen got the pole yesterday.

Nice clean start, a change of pace from the Bahrain races.

From the penthouse to the outhouse for Perez, retiring with engine problems in his last race for Racing Point.

Perez parks it at the side of the track to activate the VSC.
Quite a change from last week for his last race.

Verstappen goes flag to flag and wins it to wrap up the 2020 F1 season.

A nice if uneventful way to sign off the season. Mercedes were ‘off’ today, but you can forgive them for that after dominating all season. I do think that Hamilton came back too soon after testing positive for Covid, though. I get that he’s a racer and wants to win, but he’s got nothing to prove and nobody would have thought less of him if he’d stayed home.
Only 96 days until it (hopefully) starts again!
