I mean it would be on paper but not in reality. McL seem to be getting their sh*t together.
Indeed, some parts of the total upgrade still need to come. https://www.racefans.net/2024/07/20/pre ... eks-early/
How is it Max's to lose, if he has the second or third best car at the moment? His to lose would be if he had a car for victories and made mistakes, it is clearly not the case.PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑26 Jul 2024, 20:45I think Spa will be where the championship, which is max's to lose, starts slipping away.
Drivers and team need to be perfect from now on.
He can be smart and grab points and not fight with the championship in mind and not always the win. Many champions did that successfully in the past.Rikhart wrote: ↑26 Jul 2024, 21:41How is it Max's to lose, if he has the second or third best car at the moment?

He has a colossal advantage, and Norris makes a lot of small mistakes here and there.Rikhart wrote: ↑26 Jul 2024, 21:41How is it Max's to lose, if he has the second or third best car at the moment?

Piastri's race pace isn't great, so we can give him half of the remaining McLaren races to lead Max. Let's give Lando all of them... So at worst Max is ten points behind Lando in half of those races and maybe 7 points in the other. Then for the RedBull tracks he will win those surely. So on average that 75 point gap is basically his to lose.Rikhart wrote: ↑26 Jul 2024, 21:41How is it Max's to lose, if he has the second or third best car at the moment?

If Lando/Max first 1/2 for the remaining races, Lando would win the WDC by a mere 1 pt.PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑27 Jul 2024, 02:50Piastri's race pace isn't great, so we can give him half of the remaining McLaren races to lead Max.
