Leclerc would cruise to the title in the McLaren.deadhead wrote: ↑21 Oct 2024, 03:02I don't quite understand how NOR is not closer to VER considering that he has been in the fastest car since Miami. Today was the first time since Miami where I can genuinely say that NOR wasn't driving the fastest machine out there.
I honestly believe that if LEC was given the opportunity NOR has had this year he would win.
NOR still has a very real chance of winning the WDC, it all depends on how the RB20 copes with the upcoming tracks.
Hell, I'd bet money on Leclerc winning it in the Ferrari if the horrific Canada-Austria stretch didn't happen and he kept up his running season average of about 13.1 points per weekend. (overall season average, average without those 4 races is just below 16)
Leclerc is driving like a champion in 2024. Barring Verstappen he is clearly the best driver this season.
