    Constructors is definitely going to McLaren if you ask me, and that’s Piastri vs Perez ultimately.

    If a bad weekend for Max still returns second place, I think he has done enough to hang on, but let’s see! Couple of DNFs and we’ve got a title fight

      Couple of DNFs

      Reliability issues are rare for Red Bull, I wouldn’t put much stock in that.

      Piastri and one of the Merc needs to keep Verstappen out of podium positions, and Lando needs to keep scoring podiums or race win(s) to mount a challenge.

        Mechanic failures are rare, but if Verstappen finds himself staring 2nd, 3rd, or further down there’s always the risk he’ll crash with his aggressive “style”. See Austria and Hungary
