Lol
Norris couldn't have done this even before RB started getting their car back under control. Add Ferrari to the mix and he's even more cooked.
The only thing that's went right for them is that Merc took another big step backwards after seemingly sorting their shit out.
Am I reading this right? Norris needs to finish 1P higher than Max to keep the title fight alive, 2P if Max got the fastest lap?
Yes, and "alive" is quite stretching it. Even if Norris wins every point still available in the last 3 race weekends, Verstappen only needs 24 points to secure the title. He could finish 6th three times to secure the title. Even if Verstappen doesn't get a single point in the last races, Norris needs to finish second every race and sprint and then get at least two more points through fastest laps or a win. There is still some mathematical chance but in reality over.
Yep. There's two races and a sprint left after this one, so it's technically possible for Max to score 0 each time and for Norris to score 25+25+8+1+1 by winning both races, sprint, and fastest lap for a total of 60 points. (maybe 61, does Sprint have a fastest lap?) The current gap is 62 points, so Norris only needs to close the gap slightly this race to make it ok.
Of course, we're talking about it being "technically possible". Realistically, he was struggling to catch up even before last race where Max won and increased his lead.
I think Vegas might seal the deal though, if Brazil (theoretically) hadn't already.
That is, if the RB is now as good in conditions other than rain.
By going back in time and actually winning the previous races that he and McLaren fumbled hard. It's not going to happen this year.
There is such a slim chance at this point. McLaren needs to focus on winning the constructors since they are still vulnerable with Ferrari and Red Bull not too far behind them.
