And that's race end! McLaren are constructors champions!
Glad we got to see donuts by Hamilton.
Personally found this weird considering Bottas, Zhou, Magnusson, Colapinto, Peréz are not coming back for the start of next season.
Surely the donuts should have been theirs, but I remember Schumacher Jr wasn't allowed :(
I looked at the post-race procedure notes. According to it: "After taking the chequered flag the top three (3) drivers and driver of car 44 (if outside of top tree (3)) should stay on track, drop to the back of the field and then proceed directly to the Grid where there will be the opportunity for post-championship celebrations should they wish to do so."
Departing drivers weren't allowed, but the top 3 were allowed to do donuts. They just .. didn't?
Do you know why only them are allowed to do the donuts?
Not sure. But apparently Zhou did donuts?
Ah yeah, that makes sense, good spot!
