I gave wrong odds to win. Here they are . Probably more value on Lando.

Part of me want to put money on both to guarantee a profit. No chance Max wins. Right?

Futures - Drivers Championship (1)

F1 Drivers Championship 2025

Outright
Oscar Piastri-120
Lando Norris+175
Max Verstappen+500
I can only see Max winning if RB actually figures out the car or McLaren upgrades set them back, both unlikely.

Nice win by Oscar, he def comes across as very cool and collected.

I'll be shocked if Piastri doesn't win, the dude just seems emotionless and ice cold. Norris will be on his way to second fiddle pretty soon.

Seems like most weeks Norris is doing something ill-advised / impatient / overly-aggressive that sets him back and Oscar has only made one big mistake like that.
I do wonder what the top 3-5 would look like if you gave everyone the McLaren car

Max would be about 2 tenths faster per lap and nobody on the grid or among the team bosses thinks otherwise.

Yes, probably should've worded it as "wonder who would be in spots 2-5"

Yeah there are times when I wish F1 was more like Indy car so we could see who really is the best. All the focus naturally goes on the drivers, but its really a constructor's competition.

As far as Lando vs Oscar, I think Lando is faster as he's more willing to push the car, but he's not at that point yet where he can push the car to the limit and not make mistakes. He's also extremely hard on himself.

Max takes lead early.

Usually Max has been pessimistic lately after quali. Yesterday he was optimistic.

I think Max is back. Imola is a track McClaren should have won on. RB upgrades might have worked.

He is not wrong...

Piasti should have shut the door on Verstappen and let Russel go by.

The bigger story was that Mclaren couldn't close the gap to Verstappen. Yes the safety car came a the perfect time, but the gap remained the same afterwards.

So the multi pitstop rule only made Monaco worse. Maybe they need to do something like have a greater difference in tire compounds. Like you only get the c6 and the c1.

Crashstappen has returned....

What an absolute dirty move by Max. Should be a lot more than a 10 second penalty divebombing Russell like that. That should be at minimum a race ban maybe even 3.

I get you are upset at what the team did there but you have to be better than that. Using your car as a weapon is not ok.

Lando "I've done that before... on mario kart" will be the quote of the year.

The fact that Max ended up with Driver of the Day is peak comedy.

Part of me believes that Russell could win a WDC if he had the right car.

Summary of weekend:

Kimi - Rookie mistake.

Lando is back. WDC is a tossup. Exciting stuff.

Lawson on the season has more points than Yuki

Boratelo first points. Kick Sauber drivers both score points. 👀

Red Bull Racing needs to figure out a better car sooner than later.

Hülkenberg didn't know to bring his crash helmet in the cool down room.

Norris with the assist bringing it in.

Piastri penalty was probably deserved.

Adding :

I think Piastri's anger was more directed towards himself more than anything.

An absolutely foolish thing to do from a guy who is always calm and collected.
