That cool down lap was pretty epic. It being about the drivers involved and nothing to do with the different machinery any of them were in was pretty special. Apparently Alonso and Jimmie Johnson swapped F1 and Nascar cars for a drive around Bahrain after Abu Dhabi!

It was nice to see Hamilton set another blistering pole lap and added another win to his tally, I'm definitely more and more invested in him just topping all the records now as time goes on.

Toro Rosso just picked up Albon to partner Kyvat, the runner up to George Russell in F2. A lot of new blood next to some old returning blood in some teams, Russell next to Kubica at Williams, Giovanizzi next to Raikonnen at Sauber. Technically the only unclaimed seat is Force India's as the Stroll announcement is oddly not official, despite him being scheduled to test the car after Perez.
