You’re so right. Watching today made me appreciate how much of a circus it was under binotto. I guarantee we would have ended up pushing then pitting and then failing to regain the lead.Vanja #66 wrote: ↑26 May 2024, 17:45Binotto failed him twice, Vasseur delivered at once. Good job by everyone in the team, highest operational level since way too long ago and a true professional F1 team again.
I don't think we can imagine what a huge sigh of relief Leclerc had and how much pressure just went away. Realistically, achieving multiple wins this season as a goal is met and WCC fight is on, it was a massive task after 2023 yet here we are...
Carlos was on point today, great P3 and a double podium this weekend
WCC is absolutely RB's to lose, until they mathematically actually lose. On the other hand, they will absolutely not allow themselves to lose WDC and Max will make sure to stamp his authority in Canada.bananapeel23 wrote: ↑26 May 2024, 17:54WCC fight is officially on now. COME ON!
I dare say Ferrari wins it if the relative pace stays at a status quo. Perez is going to get eaten by McLaren and Ferrari, and unless Verstappen finishes only P1 and P2, that gap is going to be shrinking every weekend.
Even the WDC isn't finished yet.
Also I'm not going to lie. I almost shed a tear.
but also in the WDC there is only a 31 point gap and there are still plenty of races to go and a three team battle looming, I see no reason not to have a shot at both titles
I mean yes Red Bull still has the advantage, but it is certainly not a large one, and it only exists under the assumption that Verstappen can win more than 50% of the remaining races. Perez is by far the worst driver in the top 3 teams, (or top 4 for that matter). He isn't going to be troubling the podium regularly with his qualifying performances if the Red Bull isn't at least a few tenths faster than Ferrari and McLaren in the hands of Verstappen.Vanja #66 wrote: ↑26 May 2024, 18:10WCC is absolutely RB's to lose, until they mathematically actually lose.

Perez is having a bit of a bad luck streak, but he brought this DNF on himself today. He might have another results breakdown again, like last year, until this race I really didn't expect him to. Still, they way things are now, history teaches us that Ferrari and McLaren will take so much points off each other and RB will have just enough to close down the WCC as well.
Wait, but there are curbs and bumps in Canada, I think we'll get even closer to RB in the standings, but after that it will probably be "Max Strikes Back".
