Hardly. Norris would have to bottle the next races or Yuki would have to do Crashgate 2: Electric Boogaloo or divine intervention strikes down the car. And of course Max would have to keep giving 100%.
Max has driven phenomenally and he is well deserving of the championship title, but it's not a question of whether he wins it, it's a question of whether Norris will lose it.
24 point difference right now, up to 58 points left to earn. I agree Norris has to fumble, but it's not unforseeable that Max wins.
1 DNF from Norris and it's likely over. Alternatively, Max wins everything, Norris gets a 3rd and a 4th place in the main races and 2nd in the sprint (or another combination where Norris isn't 2nd or 1st each race). Both scenarios are unlikely to happen, but not exactly a long shot either.
Does pole position still give a point? Those could really make a difference in these last races.
You mean fastest lap? Qualifying has never given points (to the best of my knowledge).
Fastest lap point was retired after Ricciardo's humiliating final action of his career, nicking points away from McLaren on behalf of his team ~~Red Bull~~ Racing Bulls
But that's the point made today: it's not only down to the drivers. If a team fumbles - be it with scrutineering like today, or with a pit stop, or strategy, or sending the driver out at the wrong time in quali - that could easily change things up again. F1 is a team sport. Even if Norris locks in, his team could fuck up.
Max is going to lose it by the amount of points he could have made if Kimi didnโt crash into him.
what's with this "bottle" thing? I get what you mean, I just don't know where the expression comes from
It originates from British slang.
Thanks for the reply!
