Paul Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 An outstanding achievement to win the "double" world title, constructor and drivers titles for an unprecedented sixth consecutive season. They developed the best package for the hybrid era but it is clear that in recent seasons other teams have closed the gap yet Mercedes keep producing the goods, even when their car is not the fastest. A fantastic achievement for everyone at Brackley and Brixworth. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea14Ian Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Indeed a great result for the team.Your correct other teams have got close to Mercedes, yet they keep getting the edge to keep in front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MauriceMynah Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Now gentlemen. I don't wish to complain but I'd been keeping away from TV and radio so's not to find out anything about the race. Sadly you've rather given the game away. Just the title alone did the trick. Pity!! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted October 13, 2019 Author Share Posted October 13, 2019 I did wait until after the replay before spilling the beans, in case we were not all up to watch live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, BBC 1 told everyone the result this morning at 8.00am which is bloody typical of them. They do't show the races but want to ruin it for all those that do!

Paul Posted October 13, 2019 Author Share Posted October 13, 2019 Sorry, but no real fan would be waiting that long, if they can't watch it then they'd be listening to it on the Radio 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolcat Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Best thing to do on threads like this is put ‘Spoiler Alerts’ in the thread title and maybe a title such as Japanese Grand Prix . I won’t mention how the BTCC is progressing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldBerkshireBoy Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Mercedes can`t be caught for the team title and only one of their drivers can take the drivers title with the points available to be won. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, you probably new the result before the race started. It's quite often the same. We've known who was going to win the title since about May!
