Lando managed to gain points on Max which was a long shot after quali. Singapore this weekend, Red Bull were dreadful there last year with the most dominant car in F1 history, who knows where they'll be this weekend!
I think next year is too soon for Aston for the title but they could be looking at wins by the end of the year - Newey doesn't start until early March.I'm so excited about next season. Could we have a ridiculous five-team title battle, with a rejuvenated Mercedes and Newey-powered Aston Martin joining the fray? Probably not but it's going to be fun whatever happens.
It will be absolutely fascinating to see what becomes of Red Bull and Verstappen. I wonder if Max might end up in George Russell's seat in 2026.

Next season could be an all time great season!
If there are 4 teams and 7/8 drivers competing for wins every weekend then it won't be far off one I'd say.It could be the best in the last 20-odd years (and, to be fair, that's not hard given the dominance of a handful of teams over recent years), but all-time ... that's pushing it a bit, methinks!
Dominant from Lando yesterday and more damage limitation from Max. The gap is closing, is it quick enough though? Lando needs others to get between him and Max ASAP.
Looks like the end of the line for Danny Ric, I'm still not sure why he's the one on the chopping board and not Perez, I think Checo has scored something like 40 points in the last 12 races.
4 week break now before 2 triple headers to end the season!
The Wycombe Wanderers of F1 might be the perfect way to put it!So, is Max Verstappen the Wycombe Wanderers of F1, master of the dark arts?
He knows that a blind eye is turned for first corner incidents so brakes too late to make the corner and runs Norris off the track, being aware that it would be overlooked. First lap incidents are overlooked as thereās usually too many cars in on part of the track to apportion blame, yet Max exploits that by doing things that are penalised during the rest of the race.
The Norris penalty, Max also knows that being in front at the apex means that itās āhis cornerā so even though heās behind during braking and turn in, he lets the brake off to hit the apex first even though it means that heās not going to keep the car on the track. He has form for this, Brazil 21 missed the corner completely and run Lewis off the track while being unable to stay on the track himself, got away with that one too.
The stewards have black and white rules about where cars position at the apex etc, but they really need to look at the full incident from corner entry to corner exit on an individual basis. For example, Russel getting a penalty was undeserved as anyone could see that he overtook cleanly and the Sauber was fighting a losing battle trying to hang it around the outside. Same with Norris, it was a desperate attempt by Max to run him off the road.
