Vertappen became the F1 World Champion today, after winning the Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka.
12 wins out of 18 races this year with 4 more races to go.
Could break the single season record of 13 wins.
32 F1 wins altogether.
Only 25 years old.
Probably going to end up with at least 5 world championships altogether if not more.

LOL- its part of what i said, Chris Wallace. And the percentage of F1 poll sitters who win the race is near 40%.
Indy Car? 23%
And those outfits deserve a public Godfather 1 trash can involved beating.
And that part was wrong.
And the percentage of F1 poll sitters who win the race is near 40%.
Indy Car? 23%
Which doesn't make Indy Car races more exciting or thrilling. They are not.
LOL- like i said- the fact four drivers from two teams have been the victors in all 18 F1 races this season, and will probably win the remains four races, has people on the edge of their seats!!!!
Gotta love those huge paved run off areas on F1 tracks, which really punish poor driving!!! LMFAO
Exactly.
as it should be with spec cars, bespoke cars not so much...
Indycar racing does have a few interesting races on road courses, e.g. Sonoma, RoadAmerica, Circuit of the Americas, and especially Laguna Seca.
That said, indycar racing can resemble bicycle racing when it's sometimes just a peloton with the winner timing when to dash for the finish after playing following the leader for most of the race. Indycar roundyrounds (with the exception of the 500) remind me more of stock car racing.
Doesn't make the races any less exciting.
More people winning races, doesn't mean the races are exciting. Even if only 2 people had won all the F1 races, they could still be really exciting races. You should know that. F1 races are far more exciting than Indy Car.
Which is part of the reason why its a bore- its not the driver but the machine.
LOL- yes, F1 chasing is far more exciting than Indy car racing- if you enjoy watching grass grow.
Indy hasn’t raced at Sonoma for a number of years.
Verstappen won by 27 seconds today. That never happens in Indy car.
Any given F1 race, except maybe Monaco and Singapore, the bottom ten cars are routinely being lapped by the top four or five cars- that does not happen in Indy car.
Where are your chicanes/twists and turns in Indy Car racing?
You just go round in the same monotonous circles/ovals. What's exciting about that?
Enjoy your Indycar/bicycle/NASCAR races while I enjoy F1
--Best.
LOL- Indy car only races on ovals?? You truly are clueless.
Ever watch Long Beach? Road America? St Pete? Barber? Nashville? Mid-Ohio? Belle Isle?
No reason to reply- i already know the answer.
enjoy
You do that- its always fun to watch a race where you know the winner before the lights go green.
Now why would I watch any of that when I have F1?
There are only a few hours in a day. Spend some of it in real motor racing, F1.
Do you a lot of good.
LOL- or you really have to be clueless about motor-racing if you can’t enjoy Indy car and think the same 4 guys winning all the races all season long is “exciting!”
I wouldn’t expect you to watch anything else- your mind is too narrow with too few brain cells.
BTW Fester- i have every F1 race from the past 16 years on DVD and it gets more boring each season.
But you keep blathering on.
