Well I guess we can say goodbye to the title fight. Norris has to win every race and with how good Ferrari look, that seems unlikely. Even red bull have clawed back some of the advantage so it's difficult for Lando gain 11 points per event.
I'll enjoy it for a little while longer. Max could get a DNF, I know it's unlikely but there's still some chaos to come with all these sprints and no practice sessions
The days of guaranteed chaos are over in F1, at least within these regulations. The drivers are higher quality than ever and the cars are more reliable than ever. This was what, the first safety car in 9 races or something like that? I remember a few years ago when a big deal was made of the first incident free F1 race ever (no red or yellow flags and all starting cars finishing the race) and now that is pretty much standard procedure.
I too will attempt to pretend the title race is still on, but I'm not exactly holding my breath.
The title race for constructor (and #2 in constructors too) definitely is still on.
I'm pretty sure Red Bull is not in contention for the WCC. Unless Perez turns around and can drive consistently into the top 4 next to Verstappen. Which I don't see happening. He will probably choke in Mexico again and drive the car into the walls.
Yeah same. It's preferable to Max having already won but I still think he'll do it
This argument never made sense to me because so could Lando. Like the two possibilities (Max having a DNF and Lando having a DNF) offset each other
Sure, but it's simply to say the possibility exists until the last race, meaning the gap only needs to be < 26 for the final race for the championship battle to stay active. That's all
Yeah Max can do a Senna/Schumacher and crash Lando and himself out of the race and win the WDC
It was always going to be unlikely though. It was based purely on the condition that the field stays static.
