Verstappen is just so much quicker than anybody else. Only way races are actually interesting from here on in is if he has to start from the back, or somehow the others find and extra turn of pace.
Can't see Binotto being there next year. Ferrari really only have themselves to blame that they aren't pushing the RB's harder. Car is certainly quick and LeClerc / Sainz are both brilliant drivers.

The interest now is in the other sub plots
Can Mercedes catch Ferrari?
Can Leclerc hold onto 2nd?
Will Russell keep beating his teammate? When will that friction boil over?
Shouldn't Perez be doing better given the Red Bulls speed?Also, hopefully we see some Alonso v Hamilton battles

Apparently due to cost constraints they have different floors at the moment. And Perez prefers a more neutral car compared to Max who, from what I've heard likes his pointy.
Meanwhile in one race De Vries scores more points than Latifi has all year.

I think the teams setup the cars focused on their lead driver and then the second driver has to kind of adapt. If you go back to the Senna / Prost days apparently their cars were extremely different for each race. Not sure funding / costs etc allow you to do that anymore.
Having said that, Perez is probably about where RB would expect him to be. Max is their main man, after all.
There certainly are a lot of sub-plots left in the season to concentrate on. The Russell / Hamilton axis is a cracking one. Poor old Latifi.

That was quite fun. Good drive from Mexican Tom Cruise.
Entertaining for the foibles of the last two world champions.

The best part of the race was watching George Russell go to slicks too early. He was having an absolute nightmare.

Going to be a wet race at Suzuka
No use when Mum doesn't have Spark 🤨
Don't worry, because the FIA is scared of water there's no racing anyway.

Quite the interesting phrase following a post about wetness, if you don't realise "spark" is a broadcaster

He was also going to fast, so right to be angry but being a fluffybunny too

I think he only got the red flag notification half a second before? Can't really go jamming on the brakes eh

Ah you could be right, I'm watching rugby at same time. Totally fair enough if that's the case. Wasn't someone killed like that?
