It's in no way against regulations. Sharing designs is. Maybe data as well, that's unclear.
Sharing data and even telemetry related to car performance with other teams is clearly against the regulations. Per FIA
What's what I also said.(while being unsure of such data). But talking about it isn't.

Simplistic analysis but interesting to see that the difference is not that big.

But ignores that Norris made mistakes because of pressure he felt from Piastri. Trying to beat him forced him to push harder in qualifying (and races). It also counts the "crash" in Canada as still happening, even if "Piastrinoda" would move over in that situation. Sprint crash in Austin is also counted, even though in that case Piastrinoda would not attempt a switchback if he was not allowed to overtake Norris. That's 15-20 points.

However, as Norris so refreshingly said immediately after Abu Dhabi where he poured so much praise on Oscar and Verstappen, stating that Oscar made him dig deeper than ever before to find performance, it isn’t a long stretch of the imagination to think that with out Oscar Verstappen probably wins his 5th title.
Just a fan's point of view*

*statement was relevant when the forum had a high level of intelligence. Now we are just equals.
