McLaren has cost their drivers so many points in two races. First with the plank in Vegas and then now with the cragtegy. :shock:

If RedBull rallies their troops, meaning Yuki and the two RB drivers, I can see them causing havoc in Abudhabi. Lets not even mention assistance by their friends in high places.

The Qatar streaks are safe. 3 straight sprint wins for Oscar Piastri, and 3 straight GP wins for Max Verstappen. I won't say that I expected this, but I did think about the streaks and destiny last night :lol:

Indeed Max should never be in this fight. In the last 2 races the gap went from 49 points to 12 points. A DNF (25 points) and today it was 7 points they gifted him. Max would have no chance for the title after today if only Mclaren went into the pits. 32 points if we compare to Lando, also his mistake in Canada and we add 15 points. DNF again in the Dutch GP (18 points) lost. Thats at least 65 points, Max lost probably about 20-25 points for the entire season. Doing this calculation Lando should been at least 60 points ahead of Max and the same could be said about Piastri... Thats the reality.

Its aleady amazing we will see 3 drivers in the fight until the final race...

Not a single track limit offense from Verstappen today (or all weekend) at a circuit where it proved very difficult for drivers to keep it between the lines. He's simply operating on another level. It's important to highlight the fine details like this because often people get lost in their biases or hatred and no longer think analytically about the driver performance. There are plenty of fast F1 drivers, or drivers good for a fast lap on a random racetrack in the middle east, but are they consistent across the season? Do they make too many small errors here and there? Verstappen distinguishes himself in every area. It's remarkable.

Tha's just two races... Someone should count up the points wasted by stupid team moves. (Equal driver treatment doesn't count. But it's still a lot.)

The one time there actually was a fight, this year, between Max and the Racingbulls Max did not get through. That was in Hungary. The other times was on a way different strategy or just blue flags. It was a disgracefull post.

It´s incredible how Andy Ant is has screwed Max over this season. First, he wrecked him out on lap 1 of RB´s home race and now he chokes in front of Norris giving him the benefit of finishing P3 to become champion in Abu Dhabi.
