Both McLarens disqualified, very handy for Verstwatten. He's going to win the championship, I have absolutely no doubt.

Unless there is anymore technical fouls to come, Norris has won the championship.

Lando Norris wins the championship.

Lando afterall. Would have preferred Piastri

[Proposition Joe]

Anyone but Verstappen! But well done Lando, he was as good in the second half of the season as Piastri was in the first. Was definitely worried about a repeat of Vettel's spawny championship win today, but unless we get some late night FIA intervention due to some technicality or other, no such drama.

Listening to the radio this morning I was trying to work out why the F1 correspondent was in Aberdovey. Well done "Lando".

Verstappen really is a great driver though to get so close this season.

[Somniloquism]

Bahrain and Saudi Arabia F1 races cancelled. So some good news at least. Maybe F1 should have sent Bernie over with a tinpot award to Trump to stop him bombing.

[Exeter 77]

It seems Verstappen has thrown a Guardian journalist out of a press conference because he didn’t like a question he asked at the end of last season.

There's a reason we call him Verstwatten. Thin-skinned baby.

Max Verstappen said after the Japanese Grand Prix that he was considering quitting Formula 1 - but the sport's bosses "know what to do" to keep him in it.

Verstappen's issue is with the new rules. He has been clear all year that the form of driving and racing the hybrid engines have created is not to his taste. And he repeated that opinion after the race in Suzuka, as well as before it.

The four-time champion said he was "not enjoying the whole formula behind it, it doesn't feel natural to a racing driver".

He added: "Of course I try to adapt to it, but it's not nice the way you have to race. It's really anti-driving. Then at one point, yeah, it's just not what I want to do."
