It's still on, this would be unbelievable.
The worst they could have done was 1-3 by stacking them. They were lucky to only go 1 worse for each driver.Ridiculous strategy by McClaren at least pit Piastri...
It would be hard for Lando / McLaren to **** up to be honest. He'd have to be in 4th and miles behind (or somehow ahead) of Piastri. I know there's no love lost between then but I don't see a situation where Piastri doesn't move over to give Lando the championship out of spite or whatever.Verstappen is going to win it isn't he? McLaren have royally thrown this away but Verstappen is a generational talent. He alone is dragging that Red Bull kicking and screaming into contention. I'd really like to see how he does starting from scratch in a different team.
People would have said it would be difficult for McLaren to end up with the current situation yet here we are. I need to check my sums but if Verstappen wins the next race, he takes the title. I feel Piastri is far more likely to go all out to win for himself than help Norris even if it means neither win. He did the same last year when he wasn't even in contention and ended up harming Norris chances rather than being the team player.It would be hard for Lando / McLaren to **** up to be honest.

Norris wins the title if he comes third or higher. If he comes 4th, Verstappen has to win after that it gets more complex.People would have said it would be difficult for McLaren to end up with the current situation yet here we are.

Well you can subtract 1 at least from whatever position Norris qualifies given his awful starts to races. He reminds me of Bottas in that sense. Bottas would always drop a position or 2 in the first laps and spend the rest of the race trying to regain it.Yeah Antonelli's last lap error was massive for the Championship, that would have left Norris needing a top 2 to keep it in his own hands.
Class to have a championship come down to the last day but Lando is hot hot favourite. As much as he and his team have the capacity to bottle it, they have the fastest car and he's a quick driver. I see him qualifying anywhere between 1-3, as long as he doesn't drop to 6th or lower off the start I can't see it being overly interesting.
Verstappen has to find a way to win again and there's only so much he can do in his car vs the Mclarens.
Qatar's dirty side was a known issue.Well you can subtract 1 at least from whatever position Norris qualifies given his awful starts to races. He reminds me of Bottas in that sense. Bottas would always drop a position or 2 in the first laps and spend the rest of the race trying to regain it.
I think twitter must account for at least 90% of this. I'm off it again after Ireland v SA and that race. Fucks up your perspective of people a good bit when you have these lunatics spouting all the bile they want on their free speech platform.In other news, apparently Antonelli had been receiving death threats, partially because of comments Red Bull made over the radio and him letting Norris through...
Some people really need to get a ******* grip. What sort of person makes death threats over a driver finishing 1 position higher than otherwise expected?
Especially when it screws up, and tells you where accounts are based...I think twitter must account for at least 90% of this. I'm off it again after Ireland v SA and that race.

Shame because at it's best it can be hilarious or informative.

It lets me type bullshit but not title. The filter is a little bit shite.@TRF_Olyy
Ehhhm, I feel like I shouldn't be getting around the auto-censor that easy. Im always proud when I do but this one feels cheap when any word with t-i-t in it was getting censored for an age!
