Despite the first questionable stop of LEC (too early). They could've waited longer but I think this was not their initial plan.

RB for sure is the 4th team now. NOR even got the FL.
My money is on NOR now for the WDC.
But no teamorders within McLaren. That's pretty admirable.
That said, if McLaren is still this good next year, PIA is just as much a WDC contender as NOR, as he's just as good. You want to keep that peace otherwise next year could be a disaster.
NOR has the pace, but he seems to make too many fumbles come race day. Not sure if it’s a mindset thing or a race craft thing. Maybe he’ll pull it out, but it feels far from certain.

And the ‘Max Factor’ that wasn’t. Again.

An exceptional driver, but not without a great car.

The ONE time Ferrari gets the strategy right with the help of Charles babying the tires.

Historically, only Hammy fans here have claimed that it's the driver, not the car.....

That said, Max won 1 place compared to his starting place on the grid (despite having that bad pitstop). Nor lost 2.
But the real winner today was LEC of course.

Weekly obligatory “Does Hamilton regret leaving Mercedes?” post.

Another week, same answer - I’m going to say no…

I'll wait with my conclusion til next year
But Hammy gets a sh!tload of money (and all the other things he wants like that ambassador role), so regret is all relative

Oh well it's cut MAX's deficit to NOR in the DC to just 7, so 63 point gap now I think.

Make that a 62 gap as NOR got FL, I'm not too disappointed with that with 8 races to go...and awaiting that fresh monocoque/chassis for MAX.
