Part of everyone's suspicion of how neatly everything came together for a finale at Abu Dhabi is they have paid for the final race, presumably in the hope of getting excitement.
And this year they still didn't get it.They did get tension.
A horrible building tension, with a lot of "are the McLaren strategy team going to screw this up?"
Spoiler - they didn't.
Which makes me, if not happy, relieved.
Obviously, I wanted Ferrari to win, but that went out of the window early on.
After that, I don't really mind. None of the drivers I actively cheer for had any chance so I was neutral for the finale, which is a very odd sort of feeling.
If we're talking about which of the final three I think is the best driver - that's Verstappen. This title does not change that.
At the same time, I was relieved, because I feel there would have been actual and lasting psychic damage to the McLaren team if one of them hadn't won. As to which driver, I'm papaya-neutral.
L is very happy because Norris was his favourites of the wave of rookies Norris was in (mine is Russell. It remains the right choice.).
