Welcome to Monday’s edition of the RaceFans round-up.
Comment of the day
@SonnyCrockett is very pleased to see a McLaren driver win the world championship for the first time since Lewis Hamilton in 2008.
It’s been a tough 10-plus years for us McLaren fans!
During the Honda-engined Alonso era I vividly recall being openly laughed at by fans of Red Bull, Ferrari and Mercedes when wearing my McLaren gear at races. I guess those lows make the team, and Lando’s, achievement even sweeter.
Huge plaudits to Zak and Andrea too. They’ve taken a team that was on its knees and turned it into a world-beater.
Well done Lando and McLaren, you’ve made me very, very happy!
@SonnyCrockett
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday to Gfasulo, James_mc, Joey-Poey, Koper, Rick DeNatale and webberCANwin94!

Thanks to the team for all the hard work and thanks to the tifosi (Ferrari)
Frederic Vasseur: ‘First of all congratulations to Lando on winning the title. Ever since his days in karting it was obvious that he has a special talent and this title is well deserved and well done also to McLaren for giving him the equipment to get the job done.’
Race recap (Haas)
Ayao Komatsu: ‘At the start of the day, we aimed to get both cars into the points. We achieved it until Ollie’s penalty – which I thought was really harsh, however – that’s the rule.’
Sunday (Sauber)
Nico Hulkenberg: ‘All things considered, I’m very happy with ninth – it’s a good way to end the last race of the season. It’s also a nice way to say goodbye to Sauber — Peter has such a legacy, he’s been in the industry so long and I have big respect for what he’s achieved.’
Feature race: Duerksen wins again around Yas Marina (Formula 2)
