I was doing the math earlier, and essentially, for Max and Oscar to win it in Abu Dhabi, one of them needs to win all three races with Lando finishing no higher than 3rd in the sprint, 3rd in one GP, and 2nd in the other. If Lando takes 2 second places, and neither Max or Oscar sweep, he wins.havent done all the math but i bet he doesnt even need to do that much to seal it in. but i could be wrong...havent tried computing it all in my head yet.
if after Qatar he increases his lead by just 2 points, he wins.I was doing the math earlier, and essentially, for Max and Oscar to win it in Abu Dhabi, one of them needs to win all three races with Lando finishing no higher than 3rd in the sprint, 3rd in one GP, and 2nd in the other.

He has the count back tie breaker over Max in 2nd place finishes should they tie on points, and race wins, so he is still in control of the championship and can seal it Qatar with a sweep.
I cant talk, my Hammers are close to relegation...but at least no one can say I am a front-runner in EPL.LFC are dire at the moment, right?![]()
Last season spoiled us. I have faith in Arne Slot, but, boy, he needs to work on stuffI cant talk, my Hammers are close to relegation...but at least no one can say I am a front-runner in EPL.
On paper that's not difficult. I think Qatar is supposed to suit the McLaren anyway. As long as they give him the right car on Sunday, and he's not in his own head, he should be able to do it.if after Qatar he increases his lead by just 2 points, he wins.
Verstappen is still in with a chance, especially if the two McLaren guys, eliminate each other at one of the next races.On paper that's not difficult.

The mistake was to sign Isak.Last season spoiled us. I have faith in Arne Slot, but, boy, he needs to work on stuff![]()
I don't think they're at risk of directly taking each other out. I think the team knows they need to keep them separate on track and will strategize to do that.Verstappen is still in with a chance, especially if the two McLaren guys, eliminate each other at one of the next races.
Hmm, it's amazing how the battle for the drivers' title, can escalate into a war between teammates...I don't think they're at risk of directly taking each other out. I think the team knows they need to keep them separate on track and will strategize to do that.
They're in greater danger of being taken out by someone else, a la COTA, due to being bunched up in turn 1.
I don't think things are as punchy between them as Vettel/Weber were where they will recklessly disregard team orders. Norris 'should' understand how easily he can lock this up and be doing everything to avoid watching the race from the side of the track.
And that's the brutality of motorsports.Hmm, it's amazing how the battle for the drivers' title, can escalate into a war between teammates...
After all, neither of them might have a chance to ever win it again.
Yes, some guys never get a second chance.And that's the brutality of motorsports.
Button couldn't defend his 2009 title.
Massa never came close again after 2008.
Alonso just can't find the right team.
Ferrari handed Hamilton the 2019 title from Vettel in the last half of the season.
I think this is the closest Piastri will be able to get as long as he's Norris' teammate.
For all we know, Hulkenberg will be in the right car for 26 and Audi will have it right from the get go abs we'll hear Ricciardo yelling "Niiicoo Uuuuulllkenbeerrrgg!" From under the podium when he clinches it next year.
I didn't get into F1 until after Irvine's heyday. I'm sure he sympathizes with every driver who has been obliterated by Max as he got that treatment when Schumacher came on board with Ferrari.Yes, some guys never get a second chance.
You could add Eddie Irvine, Michele Alboreto and Carlos Reutemann, to that list.
F1 is a cruel sport, at times.
For sure.I didn't get into F1 until after Irvine's heyday. I'm sure he sympathizes with every driver who has been obliterated by Max as he got that treatment when Schumacher came on board with Ferrari.
Just Ferrari doing Ferrari things. Ross Brawn should be ordained as a saint in Maranello.For sure.
Irvine was stitched up by Ferrari...
At the 1999 European Grand Prix, his mechanics arrived with three new tyres, instead of four, during a pit stop....
They didn't want Irive to win the drivers' championship in Schumacher's absence, in 1999.Just Ferrari doing Ferrari things. Ross Brawn should be ordained as a saint in Maranello.
I saw on socials yesterday -havent done all the math but i bet he doesnt even need to do that much to seal it in. but i could be wrong...havent tried computing it all in my head yet.

Ah, I did not see this beforeI was doing the math earlier, and essentially, for Max and Oscar to win it in Abu Dhabi, one of them needs to win all three races with Lando finishing no higher than 3rd in the sprint, 3rd in one GP, and 2nd in the other.
