17 fastest laps on degrading intermediates is not "luck". It is skill.

[patricklemire]

The British Press made absolute clowns of themselves by skipping the after race Press conference. They should have their passes pulled.

Staying out was a strategy call not luck. That’s just Lando trying to cope.

[SmackRatsUK]

I am no Max fan, but he showed what a true champion he is this weekend

[NERGYStudios]

7:53 'Luck played a big part'.
Nah. No one could have stopped that juggernaut today.

[MichaelSmith-pxev]

This will go down as one of the most memorable races of the decade.

[brainsmatter]

Damon Hill saying on Sky F1 the wrong guy was on pole for the sprint race was pretty despicable as well…

[JS-llnk]

Brutal conditions, everyone was struggling and making mistakes, Alonso, Hami, Charles, Russell, lando many times, Perez spun. Sainz off..The difference in him and the rest of the grid was astounding, he didn't make any mistakes and had so many overtakes. and not in the fastest car. no DRS.honestly this is the greatest drive ever. what other drive was better?
Started p17, got 17 fastest laps. 62nd win of his career; 62 points gap at the top after this race.
Brazil on the 30th year of Senna Anniversary. Who delivers? MAX VERSTAPPEN. The greatest to ever do it.

Interlagos was the best race of the season yet

[k_dubz]

Wild race. I wanted Lando to take advantage of the opportunity but Max proved why he is a world champion. Excellent drive and pretty much locked up his 4th championship.

[bruchett]

"luck", yeah all the drivers are lucky to witness such historic moment. This does not happen often. I'll be lucky to witness another like it 20 years from now.

[owtinoz]

I never really liked Max's personality but boy oh boy based on Brazil alone he absolutely deserves this year's championship, that was an absolute masterclass.

[gerard]

Luck? Serious. The radio transcripts tell the full story:

Verstappen - Lap 28
GL: “Max, tyres?”
MV: “Uh, does it keep raining or not, now is the extreme”
GL: “We have this rain only for 4 minutes Max”

MV: “And after that is dry or no rain?”

MV: “If it is only 4 minutes I stay out”
Max stays out

Russell - Lap 28
GR: “This is almost Red Flag conditions mate, so much rain”
MD: “Yeah affirm, it is only getting heavier than this”
GR: “Absolutely chunking it down, aquaplaning at the straights”

MD: “Understood. So currently boxing for inter tyre”

GR: “It think it is going to get red mate”

GR: “I think stay out there will be a crash”
 -> So should have stayed out.
GR: “It should go red”
MD: “Understood mate”
Russel boxes end of lap 28



Norris - Lap 25-28
LN: “I think box”
WJ: “We think this tyre is ok for a bit”
LN: “Ok”
WJ: “Leclerc went into traffic and cannot clear it”
WJ: “VSC deployed”

LN: “It is getting very wet. Struggling to see a little bit”
WJ: “Understood”
WJ: “Lando, we will box this lap”
LN: “ I think it is too wet mate, I think it needs to stop”
 -> So should have stayed out.
Norris boxes end of lap 28

Best season ever! Charles wins Monaco and Monza, Max’s epic rain-soaked comeback. Wow!

[InterestedAmerican]

What was the correct race strategy for Brazil? Don't pit until the inevitable red flag. Alpine and Max Verstappen used this strategy, and after the red flag, finished the race 1, 2, 3.
I was disappointed in Lando Norris' postrace media interview. He took no responsibility whatsoever for his badgering the team to pit. He pitted, and it cost him. George Russel said he was angry because he wanted to stay out, but Mercedes told him to box, box. Max Verstappen had a drive for the ages in adverse conditions in Brazil. Congrats to Max on a great drive, and virtually sealing a well deserved 4th WDC.

[smhca]

Not luck.... skill and talent is why they stayed out. Some would say McLaren lacked such skill

[adousylla]

Sure Stroll was a victim of his brakes when he went off the road, but driving straight into a wet sand gravel is just stupidity, he shouldn't be doing this after more than 150 GP, he shouldn't be in F1! Bring back Daniel.

[TheSt]

Lando's post race interview was poorly judged . The relationship between himself and Max seems to have gone downhill very quickly. Even if you like me are not Max's biggest fan we should all admit that drive yesterday was masterful . Lando and McLaren have made too many mistakes this year. Well done to Alpine and nice to see Ocon and Gasly put aside their differences to congratulate each other in parc ferme.

[Berbatov]

Lando's achievement of P1 to P6 was nice, his "just luck" Comment about Max going from P17 to P1 just shows that he is a sore looser.

[hoolyh]

lance is not a top driver, but is king in making excuses. dropping it in the gravel is just unaccepteble

[CDNDave]

Amazing race capped off by a brilliant effort by Max and his Red Bull team.
Another highlight to me was seeing Louis driving Senna's old F1 car. I had almost forgotten how beautiful those cars were. To hear it and see it again was a treat.
