The season could have been an absolute all-timer with just a few marginal outcomes falling differently. The racing has been fantastic lately, and the development race has been insanely fascinating with constant dynamic shifts - remember Merc being slower than Aston at the start and Ferrari looking like the challenger?

A couple of different outcomes for Norris (safety car luck in Montreal, Max DNFing and Norris not last week, pitting for mediums at the end today etc) and we could have also possibly have had actual tension in the championship table. Imagine a second half of the season where McLaren is clearly faster and Max tries hanging on for dear life.

It’s a shame Red Bulls head start from the first races combined with always maximising their results thanks to their incredible operational competency has given Max enough of a cushion to be fairly safe.

It has been, you’re right. I guess seeing Lewis win really helped me see anything is possible now!
