Track Map
With how consistent McLarens are sooner rather than later Verstappen’s chances at WDC will become unrealistic. He probably needs Red Bull to turn it around after summer break, or Lando and Oscar to take each other out at least once. Right now he can’t even easily score podiums (only 5 of last 10 races), much less consistently win.
Apparently Yuki has adopted Checo’s racing style of just driving into people. RB21 must be devouring remnants of his sanity.
He has already given up the WDC, he basically tells journalists not to ask questions about his WDC chances. Because the chances are so slim there is nothing to talk about. And look how calm he was towards Kimi after the crash and in the press pen. If he still had a realistic chance to win WDC before the crash he wouldn’t have been this calm and friendly.
