We're down to the final race of the F1 season and there's still plenty to play for across the field. Massa just had another heartfelt goodbye race in Brazil, but this time he finished the race and with one of his best finishes of the season (7th), dicing it up with his old teammate Alonso who applauded him for a hard fought points finish and second to last race. Verstappen and Ricciardo were ahead of these two in 5th and 6th, respectively, then Hamilton, who crashed in Q1 and got a new power unit started from the pit lane and finished 4th, 5 seconds behind Vettel who took the checkered flag for the first time since Hungary. Bottas took pole, but lost the race to the turn one and Kimi had another solid outing while everyone across the board were working to keep their tires in the right window. Toro Rosso vs. Renault beef was still fresh and fuel was added to the fire with another retirement from Brandon Hartly. Interviews with drivers across the board were mostly positive; of course those four folks who DNF'd weren't happy, but plenty going on here. Force India is solidly in 4th place, but the battle for 5th is a three way affair between Renault, Haas and Toro Rosso -- that will be decided in Abu Dhabi, along with who will carry personal and team momentum into 2018. Don't forget to get your F1 in with your turkey day leftovers!

Enjoy your weekends and be safe on the roads out there.
