Race report and reaction
Time to wave the chequered flag on today’s live blog, and a thrilling F1 season. I’ll leave you with Giles’ Richards race report. Thanks for joining me – see you in March for the Australian Grand Prix. Bye!
And here’s Oscar Piastri, who won four of the first six races but ultimately came up short. “We gave it everything, a bit of a gamble on strategy to try and win the race and the championship. That’s all you can ask for. It’s been a fun challenge, hasn’t felt like that at times, but a very enjoyable season for both of us.”
“I’ve learned a lot from what Lando does, it’s nice to know it goes both ways. I think it’s made us both better drivers, and there’s plenty more to come. At times this year I felt unstoppable – a pretty cool feeling to have – but I’ve learned a lot of lessons in tough moments.”
