WCC points after the first 6 races:
2017 - 196
2022- 179
2024 - 189
The strong form in 2024 continues, the biggest difference this season compared to 2022 so far was Sainz' early form and many unforced errors he made. From now on, hopefully both drivers remain on it and keep improving the WCC points. McLaren is very strong, Imola updates must deliver. Though let's not forget who was in Maranello this winter when all hand were on deck for those updates
It's only close to 2017 results because of Sprint points, it is still ridiculous that there's even a remote resemblence with the beast that SF70 was. Both drivers and the whole team are delivering consistently and it's always a pleasure to see this. Like I said, today there were a lot of small errors leading to a big consequence, but the penalty was minimised by excellent performanve from Leclerc and Sainz and that's always important.
