Being a Raikkonen fan I would love for Oscar to come in 2nd, Max to be 3rd, and Lando to be 9th next weekend for a little history repeat. And being a Ferrari fan, Lewis to win with fastest lap (little irony there). All of that absurdity would all be absolutely hilarious.

Thank you McLaren
To have the fastest car and gift this race to Max - such a beautiful thang. Now can they do it again, for just one more race? That is the question. Odds are they should still win this thing. I hope I‘m just as shocked next week, as I am with this one. Fingers crossed that they can fumble one more race & keep Max‘s title fight alive

Yeah probably. If Max is in the lead, Oscar P3 and Lando P4, I bet they will make that call. And it will make that title for Norris even more hollow than it already is. The way McLaren treated Oscar this year, I'd tell them to piss off.

And well they should, given the situation you outlined.

Well, he is from the colonies...

Well, big F1 weekend ahead. Probably the biggest season ending race since Max was gifted the World Drivers Championship over Lewis in 2021.

I can't help but think McLaren will snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

If Zak Brown were to say, “We abide by Papaya Rules,” to Bruce McLaren I think he would smack the unholy shit out of Zak.

It'll be a good one, for sure. Nice to not have the winner be obvious.

I'm betting Norris is nervous as hell, though it looks like he was fine in practice. Regardless if Max comes in 1st or not, the 100+ point gap he closed helps cement him as one of the GOATs.

Absolutely. Max should've been out of title contention many races ago. Unless McLaren royally screws up like they've done the last 2 races it should be easy for Norris to get a podium.
Like Max said, if he had the McLaren, he'd have had the title won ages ago.

I think the starting lineup is set.

Insane lap from Max. Holy hell

Well when you have the best car on the grid, i mean even Yuki..................... oh wait lolol. I cant wait to see what Hadjar does next to Max next year. if by the end of the season his is miles away like everyone else has been no way any one will convince me RB doesn't build a car for Max style. (as they should he is the best, but his fans swear RB doesn't)

That "tow" from Yuki did nothing, that was all Max. Russell just about binning it on the final corner, how he saved that and almost putting it in the barrier, he was trying so hard. If i was Lando let Max take off, Let Piastri take off, cruise to a 3rd place and have your name etched on that trophy.

Well, Max's second lap in Q3, which was faster than his first lap had no tow. It was all Max.

Also RB doesnt build the car to Max. Max has been quite vocal about how much he doesn't like it. But we all know a lose car, is a fast car (if you can control it). Max can control it. Doesnt mean its built for him though.

Agreed, Norris just needs to let Oscar by and cruise. He should be able to keep Russell behind him since the McLaren is much faster.

Fingers crossed Oscar gets desperate and sends it up the inside and takes out both Mclarens

The same but hope Piastri wipes out Max instead. If Max wins the championship its because the FIA handed it to him.
