It was a VEEEEEEEEEEEEERY good, exciting, and entertaining race from start to finish, and a sentimental win for Kimi who hasn't won for a number of years.

Kimi with ultra soft tire and a more powerful engine shot into the lead and basically led to the finish. Vettel again made a mistake by trying to push Ricciardo out of the track, but he spun after the touch, and raced all the way from the back to 4th, not bad at all.

Hamilton almost overtook Max to go into 2nd in the 2nd from last lap but failed.

Good race, well worth the time watching and chewing all my nails to the bone!

With hindsight, Hamilton lost a chance at winning the USA F-1 GP due to tire strategy!

He had 2 pit stops, the first one was fine; the 2nd one was at least 2 laps too late, because his tires were wearing down, and he was slower than Vettel by 2" (may be it was 0.2") per lap, the Manager didn't order him to pit but waited. If he came in 2 laps earlier, and for calculation purposes that we deduct 0.4" from his time, he could have easily secured 2nd place, may be even beating Kimi to the wire!

A 2nd place finish, would have permanently sealed Vettel's 2018 season.

Now the stage is moved to Mexico but Vettel must win all the remaining races to have a chance.

US Grand Prix was great! Glad to see Kimi win after so long. Always been a Kimi fan. He's probably the fastest driver I've ever watched. Never the best or most consistent driver but his driving style is always so fast.

Unfortunately, Ferrari will release him end of this season. Kimi will be driving for a non-championship contender next season!

Hey wolf brothers, I want you to listen to F-1 Boss, Ross Brandt's (check spelling) comments about Vettel's recent "showing" which is the 2nd episode in the above video.

Ross' comment about Vettel is EXACTLY the same as mine in #126 and #131.

Didn't I tell you that I was good?

Ross Brawn, the only man to own a team that won the Driver's Championship and Constructor's Championship in it's first and only year of existence. Later sold to Mercedes.

There are 3 more F-1 races left in 2018.

Mexico on this coming Sunday, Brazil, right after USA's mid-term elections, then Abu Dhabi.

I think the USA mid-term election will be more exciting to watch!

It is sad but I'm excited to see a good young driver at Ferrari. Ferrari never really takes any risk with young drivers. Kimi is still fast but he is almost 40. Hope the Iceman gets a chance to compete at Sauber.

I mean, the results have been decided already. I'm talking about both the F1 and the mid-elections
