Oscar should let Lando through. His lap one nonsense enabled this anyway.

He needs every point he can and the team hasn’t done him any favours

Yep. Oscar can race him sure, doing it like he did that puts Leclerc through too is bad for Lando and McLaren

Pretty sure McLaren aren't really bothered about WDC this year. WCC is the only realistic target

Lando is going to be driving for Ferrari when Lewis retires

Incredible by Ferrari and Charles - bravo. What a call to one stop it.

If Norris stayed in the lead, his teammate could help protect his lead

Red Bull are in real shambles. The WDC is 100% on, even now. Max is heavy favorite still but at the moment it’s tough to see how he’s winning another race.

Newey to Aston Martin I think, already has a connection in design of Valkyrie, maybe

Said it in April, my crystal ball seems to be working. I’ll check it again to see where Max is going…

Hmm, replacing Alonso, but I think he’ll move before then.

My personal opinion is he'll give RB at least one season of the new regs (despite everything there), see who has the best car then go there. Seems pointless to change teams before then, unless someone can really sell him on their 26 car.

I just think if Red Bull lose the constructors championship this year it could all implode. May sound far fetched but personally I think Max is playing a deliberate risky game with fine margins, gambling on winning the drivers but losing the constructors. I’m not buying that McLaren, Mercedes and Ferrari have all suddenly introduced upgrades that are so far superior to Red Bull.
