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.

It's now up to McLaren to screw this up and I'm talking mostly about the team as pit crew and race strategy. There's nothing more Max can do about it.
1) Lando with classic poor start
2) Bad race strategy from McLaren
3) Pit-stop fuckup
Also Yuki is way back in 10th, kamikaze scenarios are low.
*British.
The car is German in brand only. Mercedes F1 operate from bases in UK since the days the team was named Honda/Brawn GP. That includes the engine developed at UK factory.
