After this result Oscar needs to wake up before its too late, his form is nowehere near that of pre Monza :wtf:
If Oscar does not wake up next race, the title will go down between Noris or Max.

Btw, Ferrari in Singapore cleared the way for VER, now they guard him , the anti-Mclaren alliance is so evident at this point to spice up the show, shame on you Liberty, same on you!

Mexico… medium speed corners?

I know it’s not on Stella’s list of ‘McLaren tracks’
The altitude is the problem in Mexico

Well done lando, tough fight for second and if not for the ferrari I think he could have challenge max overall.

A real nothing race from Piastri. Norris held up alot by Charles and yet hes still 21 seconds behind?

Onto Cota next. I think lando is favourite for that one. Things are getting tighter by the race!
This race really reminded me of 2024. Piastri no where to be seen, no pace at all. Norris forced to fight Verstappen alone with other teams challenging him and beating Norris when Norris manages to beat Verstappen.
Yeah, I getting the same vibes... let's just hope we don't get the same WDC result.
Or you we could see the hunter falling short?

Thing is even with how many bad performances they still haven't touched Piastri. The law of football says that if you are unable to score with all these chances you will recieve that goal in the end. Piastri won't be bad forever and that Red Bull won't be able to win every race.

getting too close for comfort. Mclaren have basically been nowhere since the summer break.
The biggest sign that the red bulls have gotten their sh*t together is Tsunoda finishing in 7th.
If every weekend Max is outscoring either mclaren driver by 8-10 points, then he's going to be the champ.

Yes. They need to beat him. This ain't going to be a "drive to P3" to take the title WDC.

Mclaren was too high today in terms of ride height and that definitely held them down. With more data from the sprint that would have been different. Bad performances will stop at some point and I still think Mclaren can be the best car if set up correctly.

It could have been today. Lando overtook Charles with 1.6sec more pace in the car and being a car width away from the track limits...hilarious, this guy simply needs to fix his overtaking.

Anyone else thinks Lando was uncomfortable in yhe cooldown room? I get that he is a bit timid as a person, but him and Max don't seem to be best buddies much this year.

how is Piastri this anonymous for last 3 races? Norris is fighting half a race with LEC and VER (2 weeks ago) but Piastri is still slower and not able to catch the same cars while having clean air, wow

Good race by Norris, utterly destroyed Piastri. A shame about Leclerc getting such a good launch with the soft tires on the clean side of the grid, but it is what it is. Piastri needs to get his act together or he's going to lose the championship to either Norris or Verstappen. And that would be a fumble of epic proportions considering how far behind Verstappen was just a few races ago, and that Norris has mechanical DNF and Piastri has none.

Without the engine DNF and Canada crash/DNF Lando would be clear ahead.
