2724829, Break out the Seagrams. 7 and 7

Toto's team is in the record books. To be undefeated during any regulations period is unheard of. But build the best PU, continue to work on the chassis and PU over the years, get the best driver and hammer on year after year after year. Other teams can whine, other teams can cheat, but Petronas Mercedes still comes out on top. Salute.

The race itself was in interesting one. Quick notes:
- There's going to be griping about leaving Lewis out for an extended period and the VSC timing. Neither is valid. The plan was to jump Max for the 1-2 Mercedes finish, not necessarily to jump Bottas. Had the VSC not been called, it would have been close. But it was, and Hamilton got the added benefit. This isn't his fault, as he has been on the wrong side of the VSC a few times before. Still, if the roles were reversed Bottas may not have been able to do the same. Certainly not yesterday with the Ferrari endplate wedged under his car, and in general, I don't think he could have maintained his tires like Lewis does.
- We got a Shoey in 2020. And Hamilton took part. We are in the end times. Good for Danny. He won't win a chip, but I hope for good things with McLaren next year
- Feel bad for Gasley. Killer quali, lined up next to his old teammate in the 'junior' car, and had to box the car early. Would have been an interesting race, as AT had speed this weekend (witness Kvyat coming in 4th)
- Feel worse for Russell, binning it under the safety car when all he needed to do was stay on the track for his first point ever. He couldn't even blame Ericsson...
- Italy has not been kind to Max
- So, Albon is a wash out next year?
- RP just doesn't want Cheko to be great in his last races with the team. Shame to see him without a seat next year
