Lando needs to be on his game like heโs never been before if he wants this title. And heโll need Piastri to back him up and push Max out of second.
He could do it. Iโm not holding my breath, but he could.

MODERATORS
People are going to be so disappointed when he eventually fails. Lando almost crashed under no pressure whatsoever. He ain't pulling that off. Although this time I understand the need for such talks, the race was too boring to discuss it.
It's not impossible that Lando pulls this off but it requires that Merc and Ferrari don't take even a single race win from him, and Max and Oscar don't either, oh and no dnfs. It's just really unlikely with how this season has gone. He really needs max ro dnf at least once to make it much more likely.
That assumes no cock ups from red bull too, and they've definitely had some bad results in the last few months
I did mention Lando really needs another DNF from Max, which is basically what he needs, a Lando win with Max scoring zero to make it more achievable. However the chances of Max scoring outside the points is about as rare as him having another DNF this season, or him not winning another race all season long, that would be quite the win less streak especially in such a topsy turvy season.
I am not confident of that happening as Red Bull seem to have finally accepted that they went in the wrong direction for car development and have made some good steps to fix it and have a month to work on further fixes.
Lando is gonna choke.
