I’ll enjoy it for a little while longer. Max could get a DNF, I know it’s unlikely but there’s still some chaos to come with all these sprints and no practice sessions
The days of guaranteed chaos are over in F1, at least within these regulations. The drivers are higher quality than ever and the cars are more reliable than ever. This was what, the first safety car in 9 races or something like that? I remember a few years ago when a big deal was made of the first incident free F1 race ever (no red or yellow flags and all starting cars finishing the race) and now that is pretty much standard procedure.
I too will attempt to pretend the title race is still on, but I’m not exactly holding my breath.
The title race for constructor (and #2 in constructors too) definitely is still on.
Yeah same. It’s preferable to Max having already won but I still think he’ll do it
This argument never made sense to me because so could Lando. Like the two possibilities (Max having a DNF and Lando having a DNF) offset each other
Sure, but it’s simply to say the possibility exists until the last race, meaning the gap only needs to be < 26 for the final race for the championship battle to stay active. That’s all
