Correct. Lando finishing 4th will lead to equal points at 420 in which Max is champion with 8 wins, Lando with 7.

Qualification will be extremely important next weekend.

Hope Mercedes can find some pace and make it a challenge.

Either that or Tsunoda goes bowling early.

Also there's this feeling that the whole thing is scripted, two races in a row McLaren fuck up as a team and none of it is on their drivers. Drive To Survive will explode on Netflix.

A nightmare season coming to an end soon for Ferrari too.

If they fuck up the regulations next season then both Hamilton and Leclerc will be gone and they will probably be fielding a lineup of Bearman and some rookie most likely in 2027.

IMO Leclerc will remain in the long term, but even at this point Hamilton's motivation raises questions. He's drastically slower than his teammate, drives the Ferrari like Kimi Raikkonen at Alfa Romeo. For fun.

Antonelli is destined one day for Ferrari. That's beyond any doubt.

It is odd. As a team they have almost double the points from 2nd place.

Think both Norris and Piastri are fairly overrated as drivers.

I'm not serious about the scripted theory, but both of them are great drivers. They lost points because of team decisions and neglect after winning the constructor championship.

Having a far superior car than everyone else is a big factor.
It was superior at the start of the season and not "by far". That's why car designers like Adrian Newey inspect McLaren cars to note details at parc ferme. Spying is part of the sport.

Teams catch up at some point. Today it was evident the McLaren (Mercedes engine) of Lando, fresher tires, was struggling to pass Antonelli's Mercedes, if wasn't for the rookie mistake.
