So what are your predictions?
After last week's incredible dominant drive from Max Verstappen, he's the favorite again for winning the WDC. In fact, he could win the WDC at the Las Vegas GP. Liberty Media/Formula One Group would certainly like that as the Las Vegas GP is their pinnacle in promotion of their product. Maybe that's also the reason Mr. Herbert won't be joining the Stewards team anymore. However, the track has long fast straights, and it's unlikely to rain. Will this favour Max and the RB20, or will the McLaren car be dominant again with Ferrari as a strong runner up? This is my prediction: 1. NOR 2. LEC 3. PIA 4. VER 5. SAI 6. HAM 7. PER 8. RUS 9. HULK 10. LAW

I just am at the point where guys like Ric, Bot, Per, and could argue others are just taking up space when there are so many F2 winners just waiting around. I do think Ham and Alo need to go too. These younger drivers are just so much more talented than we have seen in a long time - and that started with Max who just came in and was as fast as the fastest car without much experience.

I imagine Ferrari will be good here, but Max has a new engine that I am sure they are not holding back with it - Lec's not been lighting it on fire in pace lately...plus we still have yet to see the RB20's new flexi front wing (hope they debut it here) and believe they will bring upgrades. I hope they stay 3rd in the WCC because that extra wind tunnel and CFD is going to really be needed and Mclaren and Ferrari are going to lose quite a bit which may be a huge detriment to their development next year.

Interesting thought... RB sabotaging Checo's car so they can get more wind tunnel time for the 2026 car wouldn't surprise me... would make sense why they keep him around, because they know they're the ones screwing him over.

This is always an interesting debate to me. I think at this point his car is compromised - and for some time by his own doing - but other than giving Max the newest parts, and rightfully so due to the WDC, I am not sure what would constitute sabotage? Ultimately his driving level has been IMO the worst it's been in his RB days. I'd love to see him do better but that's on him to rectify.

As I said in the last 4-5 races : The McLaren tires last forever in this season and the Ferrari tires in the last 2-3 races too. That's why I think the tires situation will change at Vegas because now they know they are suspected of cheating.. MAX just needs '24 WDC points in the last 3 races to nail the 2024 World Championship . Can he do that ? I'm 1000 (thousand)% sure about that(!) Even without rain...
