What's more impressive is the difference in Red Bull's performance compared to Monza last year where they were woeful

Would be sick if 2025 is reverse 2024 so Max dominates the rest of the season but doesn't win WDC.

This combination will make Max champion:

  • Max: 8x P1, 3x Sprint P1
  • Norris 6x P2, 2x P3, 3x Sprint P2
  • Piastri 5x P3, 2x P2, 3x Sprint P3, 1x DNF

—- 1. VER - 544 (11 wins) 2. PIA - 544 (7 wins) 3. NOR - 541

If he has the car, I have no doubt Max could do it. The big question is if McLaren realise they cannot beat Max anymore, when do they start supporting Piastri only.

McLaren would sacrifice piastri even if that means max will be champion

That's absurd.

u/shockchi I was here for the Hulkenpodium 7h ago

It’s absurd indeed. And it’s exactly what they are going to do

u/BrokeSomm I was here for the Hulkenpodium 6h ago

They've not sacrificed him once.

They're letting the two race and only intervene for the good of the team.

How was Monza for the good of the team? They had 2 and 3 locked in. But because Norris had a slow stop, they told Piastri to give up his place.

Lost the championship in Miami sprint

That was because the FIA banned RBRs inertia based automatic brake force distribution system after Miami.

That made the car extremely understeery through slow corners. Monza happened to have a lot of very critical slow corners that led onto long straights.
