Carlos Sainz fans rn "So you're telling me there is a chance"
My money's still on max taking it out
Yeah, but very unlikely that Max lose this championship. Hopefully there will be a fight at end of the season
Very much still Max's to lose. Like... 57 points? If he DNF'd twice, absolutely, Lando could take it, but even if Lando and Oscar consistently 1-2'd, with fastest lap, the most McLaren could do, if Max places 3rd every weekend it's unwinnable without sprints (11pts a weekend, x5 weekends, 55 of 57 needed points advantage).
In reality, even a decent Max Verstappen can lock out this championship with ease. So long as Red Bull don't catastrophically tank his car for a few of these weekends.
Mechanical DNFs can happen to anybody. Statistically Lando has a higher chance to DNF based of a mechanical issue, since he hasnt had one yet. But as the old racing saying goes: to finish first you have finish.
Statistically Lando has a higher chance to DNF based of a mechanical issue, since he hasnt had one yet.
I don't think that's how statistics work.
