Shame that we didnt get to see Leclerc/Verstappen clash at the end, would have been a perfect end for a great race.

I dont think Max is winning the title now. 46 points behind with 104 up for grabs.

36 points

36 points

You are right.

Okay 36 points, he might still win.

4 cars crashed at the same spot at the rainy Interlagos sprint. Gabriel Bortoleto's one was especially destructive. If that was a pre-2016 F1 car, it could have been a fatal one. Reminded me of Roland Ratzenberger's fatal crash, when ran into the wall at top speed.

Piastri's crash extended Lando's lead and I believe the ambitions ended right there. Not in the top 3 since Dutch GP. It's between Lando and Max now.

Max out in Q1.

It's done, Lando will be champion (worst champion ever?).

The RB car just wasn't good/consistent enough. If Max had the Mclaren rocket the season would end in June.

Will be a sad day for F1 when someone like Lando wins the championship.

Lando is not that good. Even Piastri is better than him. But the car matters. RB reacted too late imo.

 

[TheStig]

I think at least Max, Leclerc, Russel and Alonso are much better driver than the Mclaren duo but the car makes the difference.

Could add Bearman soon, he's doing a great job so far and is linked to Ferrari. Too bad Hamilton has a contract for another year, he's already better than this version of Lewis.

Man, Charles must be the unluckiest dude out there... he is making miracles with that car and all of a sudden getting hit left right and center...

I think people don't give Lando enough credit and previously it was due to his rookie mistakes, but the hatred escalated after his dismissal of Max in the heat of the championship race last season. At this point it's focused on the persona, not the driver. It's only assumption that Lando and Piastri have unequal cars. Also Lando joined McLaren in 2019, when they were in the back of the grid and contributed immensely to where the team is today.

Even more so if you check Red Bull. Max is top 3 and Tsunoda is 19th with "the same car setup". Yeah... I feel pity for Yuki, it was his dream to land the spot at Red Bull and it turned tragic. He's just a test pilot for Verstappen. Shows how much they care about Yuki and his Honda contract moving on to Ford engines.

The gap between Lando and Max is 49 pts with three races to go. Impossible margin to be realistic. Lando can fuck up two races and still win WDC with a mediocre final one in Abu Dhabi. Unless Piastri steps on.
