Unless VER has a DNF the WDC isn’t really going to be under threat. Let’s just be pleased with a really really good driver and team performance today. Track isn’t ideally suited yet somehow they made it work. Of all the outcomes, I’ll take a win any day

At the moment Red Bulls seems to be done. Max Verstappen is not able to get to the podium and it's a golden opportunity with 7 races to go to have either of our drivers as champion. Norris though has the most chances as he's closer.
But Perez was in P3 and keeping up with Leclerc and Piastri. If VER had proper setup or the same floor he may have been there fighting for the win. Don't count them out. It almost looks like VER lost confidence in the car.
Yep, tge demise if Red Bull is massively overplayed. You can't watch that race and say Red Bull are shot.

Had Lando not backed up Perez, we would likely have been looking at a different race outcome, with Paistri needing to overtake both Perez and Leclerc for the win. Paistri still did a mega job to deliver under huge pressure, but perhaps the Lando bashing could end for a while.

Max Verstappen is under investigation for a Virtual Safety Car infringement as he allegedly overtook cars under Virtual Safety Car conditions after the chequered flag
McLaren are also under investigation for a pit lane infringement

What a race, what a 2nd half of the season in general for F1...…. Great race from PIA, showed a true championship craft today with his masterful overtake and then that defense every lap for 25 + laps or more against Leclerc was pure gold.....

Great recovery drive from Lando, also championship worthy drive, once Albon went to the pit he was flying on the track with 30 laps old tires......
What a day for the team, we capitalize on the crash from SAI and PER and we are now 20 points in the lead for the WCC..... lets keep pushing, as Singapoore, is also Ferrari's race to loose.

Mclaren!

Still wondering how Leclerc lost a 6 second gap to Piastri at end of the first stint.

Bad pit stop, too slow to warm up the HARD set of tires, and one car out of place (ALB)

At best it's gonna be a fine and nothing more. Lando and Oscar did nothing wrong in the race.

I expect noting more than a $$$ penalty for the team.

My words exactly. It's not like Lando or Piastri benefited from that. Max on the other hand I am curious regarding his Safety Car infringes.

It looks like nothing. Race finished he waved and went past a couple. He'll be fine, and he should be.

McLaren showed today, what team work is all about. Oscar drove a fantastic race, but Lando gave a lot of help. Team did good pitstops, good strategy... Lando drove a great recovery race. Today, everything clicked. I am so proud of this team.... and to be #1 at the Constructors table, after so many years is just splendid..... Enjoy it guys, it's been a while :D \:D/
