I thought these "backing up" ideas were not feasible, seems Max and Red Bull agreed.

Good job to Red Bull and Max for fighting back. They showed McLaren they have to be perfect in all areas (strategy is a McLaren weakness at the moment).

It was countered to some extent by McLaren splitting the tyres. Anyways, Max didn't seem like he wanted to do it, he seemed content just winning the race and leaving the rest to chance.

Who would've thought Max's titles chances were in jeopardy because of his incidents with the Mercedes

His red mist in Spain cost him. Lost 9 points.

I think it is fair to say what Max said. There is no need to be dissapointed. To even be in it until the last race was just amazing. I had already written off this season twice.

Russell was also faster on 2 tracks where Max could've won, Singapore and Canada, never taking a win from MCL.

Verstappen vs the almighty MCL39. 2pts away. What can you say. It's simply Max Verstappen's era.

Considering no other driver would have gotten that car within 100 points I can forgive him for that.

Also, Red Bull should be given credit for having overhauled the car in the second half of the season, it was not a given after all what happened, Newey's departure, internal turmoil, technical blunders. Still a relentless team. But the real challenge will be next year.

+1. The technical team delivered. Since the summer break, Verstappen has won 6 races. Incredible turnaround.

Tsunoda is totally useless. Perez would have done 10 times more.
Bingo. When he said 'leave me to it' , I didn't expect that his race IQ is so poor. He was driving at full pace through S3 and then trying to 'defend' in the straight. He was even told the gap between LeClerc and Norris. Still didn't figure out that he needed to slow the pack in S3.

If lando wasn't busy crashing into barriers in saudi and canada and oscar wasn't busy being slow for 1/4 of the season then spain wouldn't even be in this conversation.

Verstappen since summer break podiumed every race and the only driver to win three races in a row. Red Bull actually did very very well all things considered with how the RB20 went.
