The redbull was the fourth best car in race trim. Unbelievable fall from grace. The best thing that happened to Max is Ferrari, otherwise this WDC would be doubtful.

Was team orders making Leclerc suddenly lose 8 seconds to Sainz or just Sainz being far better this weekend??

Sainz seem to be better than Charles in low grip conditions.
Maybe yeah. Very good race by Sainz again, I am impressed. Really happy for him!

Piastri was nowhere in that race. He seemed not comfortable with the car/track combination through the weekend.

SAI was better but LEC had to do a ton of LiCo through the race, even after he got passed by NOR he was asked to LiCo to cool brakes...

Thank you Carlos from a Max fan, also hoping Ferrari takes the WCC. They deserve it.

One thing maybe to add, just this.

In Austin Lando deserved the penalty, in Mexico Max did. End of the story.

Never could understand how someone can be a fan of a dirty driver.

A tough race for McLaren but it seems that McLaren had the pace for the victory if Verstappen didn't force Norris off. Being P2 in first stint would mean he isn't 13 seconds behind Sainz when the pitstops start.

Ferrari helping Max secure the title. Was not expecting to say that. Can't say that I am sad. Second Ferrari win in 7 days! Championship is within sight! It would be a big blow for McLaren if they do not win either championship.

That was the point of the dirty driving i guess.

Or... Norris WDC and Ferrari WCC... RB nothing. Also a very likely possibility now. I mean we just saw a Haas gaining on Verstappen on merit.

Please...Austin at worse should have been treated like brazil 21 because they both went off track and Lando only went off track because he was pushed off. It's about time they start focusing more on Max's driving style. You can not get away with being that much of a bully all the time.

That was quite crazy to watch. I cant imagine qhat the Red Bull is going to be like next year if their trajectory doesnt change.
