Report:

Dean Stoneman's broken car is being carried off as he fails to finish in the points for the first time since March.

The Championships were decided, but F1 has one weekend left in the season of 2019. As some teams and drivers are still fighting for position and for employment in the future, we can still expect a lot of fight from the F1 stars.

Diego Torrente and Jordan Davies sure brought their A+ game. The only thing stopping Torrente from achieving a grand chelem was a miserable start, dropping him to 8th. He then sliced past his rivals to take a dominant win.

Jordan Davies was the only driver who somewhat kept up with him, the only driver less than three quarters of a minute behind the race winner. Making the most of his ability, Jordan may have earned a drive with a different team for 2020.

Drivers who disappointed in the rain were Vettel, who ended the record-breaking top 10 run of Dean Stoneman in the way his own record run was ended in 2017, and Cassidy and Ricciardo, who were miles behind their teammates.

Fastest Lap:

Diego Álvarez Torrente – 1:08.969

Infinite Improbability Drive Of The Race:

Jordan Davies – he drove like a master in the wet weather and earns Haas an amazing second place in their final Formula One Grand Prix weekend.

Reject Of The Race:

Sebastian Vettel – running into Dean Stoneman ends both their runs of consecutive top 10 finishes and hurts Caterham’s chances of finishing second.
