Only a handful had a reasonable/realistic chance of beating Verstappen today.

In the late stage of the race (last 1/3 or 1/4 section), Piastri was regularly matching Verstappen's pace. Norris failed to catch Verstappen. We will never know, but if McLaren would have had the clarity of mind to order Norris to move over around lap 40 or so, Piastri could have chased (with less tire deg from trailing Norris) Verstappen, more successfully than Norris and could have attempted DRS overtakes in the straight during the final laps of the race. Piastri is a better driver than Norris, also mentally. He's future WDC material.

I agree.

Ah but you must never underestimate the power of the papaya rules. But for that, a lot of things would have happened differently and one of the McLarens would have won the race.

Was en route to Malta so I didnt get to watch but the highlights showed a very controlled race from max from start to finish. Now 4 poles and 4 wins in a row - first time in history at Japan. Very impressive!

Now that I've read up on it I see what you're on about, yeah his seat belts were overtightened on his sensitive parts and that made him quicker so funny.

What if I don't have 10K lying around next to my Lambo?
I assume this was facetious, but if not, let's bet your lambo and I'll put up the cash for the fair market value of it.
I am, and I won't. If you win, you get the satisfaction of proving me wrong. It's a big deal, because it's so rare.
If you wanna bet who's (not) gonna be F1 2025 WDC, do it just for fun, do not involve money. Make a poll, if you wish.

Only Max or Lando. Oscar has a shot if Lando has a DNF or two, but otherwise it's a two man race this year.
