Nor can I, but then, we’ve seen teams pulling massively daft moves. When Mercedes were running away in 2014, and Ricciardo was the better driver with a slim chance of getting in the mix, Red Bull favoured Vettel. Go figure. This season is McLaren’s best shot at the WDC (and WCC) since 2012. I wouldn’t be surprised if they muck it up.
