This is the stuff I love and the kind of thing that's made me warm up to Max...the mind games:
New Lando Norris evidence emerges after Max Verstappen 'took the p*ss'

I said it earlier, the pressure is all on McLaren and it's tough to win when you're driving in your rearview mirror. Max knows this.

Stuff like this makes me think Max has a decent shot at WDC. Lando's head game has been pretty good for the last 4-5 races, but it is clearly fragile. I can't help but think the plank DSQ won't weigh on the team's minds.

It's Lando's to lose.

Piastri and Max 2027.

I can't see that happening, but this is F1.

Max leaving RB would start a ridiculous bidding war. If Max leaves before his contracts ends in 2028 it will be via his performance clause, so he's not going to a losing team. Unless Toto kicks one of his current drivers (likely) that leaves Max with McLaren (unlikely) and Ferrari (oof) unless AMR has a strong car. With Horner back in the mix would Max go there, Newey or not? Dunno.

If Max stays 2027's biggest free agents (I think most of the field's contracts end in 2027) are LeClerc and Piastri.

2026's silly season is going to be wild.

I want to believe Cadillac will come out and be a solid 6th-7th place contender next year.

Who will get their power unit right and who will struggle?

🤣 Did you tell him to go sit in the corner and be quiet...his guy wasn't even in the top 10?!

Pretty sure Hamilton doesn't even have a podium this season. He only broke the top 10 in Vegas because 2 guys ahead of him got disqualified.

At this point, how is anyone still a Lewis Hamilton fan? The only way I can figure is if they know nothing about F1.

I told him to get out of Q1 for a change and stop hanging out with Alpine.
 
Following up on @GOTWA's earlier post...

1. Lando
2. Max -12pts
3. Oscar -16pts

Abu Dhabi is gonna be lit...

Lando's path to the title: Any podium finish secures him the title, regardless what anyone else does. He can still win the title if he finishes 4th, provided Max doesn't win the race.

Max's path to the title: Any podium finish where Lando finishes 4th or lower.

Oscar's path to the title: Needs to finish 2nd or better with Lando finishing 6th or lower. If Oscar finishes 2nd, he'd also need Max to finish no better than 4th.

Max has won 4 of the last 5 races at Abu Dhabi, last year being the exception, when he hit Oscar in turn 1...
 
Yuki gonna take lando out to prove he can be a valuable teammate even if he's not in the points. Gotta sell something to someone if he wants to stay in F1.
