It's such a long shot that's based on three things.
Red Bull continues to struggle.
McLaren stays on form.
Ferrari/Mercedes
A driver's title almost seems impossible at this point. All it takes is one good Verstappen race and it's all over.
Yes, but it also only takes 1 Verstappen retirement to really bring things closer.
I don't disagree that it's a long shot at this point though. If Red Bull can stay in the mix for podiums (and Verstappen is always a threat there) his WDC is pretty safe with the lead he's got now.
Isn't it like 40 points? 1 win by Lando and 1 retirement by Max in 8 races brings it to 15 points, which Lando can keep leap in a couple races.
Nah, it's 62 points
Ah then nope. Typical McLaren making decisions so bad that makes me cringe.
McLaren could easily win world title here if not for their arch nemesis: McLaren!
