I wouldn't rule out Lando bottling at least one of the last few races this season, leaving the door open for Max to add another WDC to his name.

Max has the potential to be the GOAT F1 driver... and this is coming from a hardcore Senna fanboy.
 
Somehow this sport feels more fixed than boxing. At the 11th hour, yes your vehicles spliffy dongle is two pig hair shorter than allowed. Zero point for Slytherin.

I mean, sure, but at the the end of the day it's there to prove you're running it too low. A car that breaks the specs and thus was DQ'ed.

Super Max needs a net of +24 points in 2 races and a sprint. The situation will be much clearer after the Qatar Sprint, but if Max wins everything, all that's needed is a few spoilers by the Mercs (not Taliban actions mind you, just podiums), a bottle job by the most mentally fragile driver or a mechanical failure. The script calls for VER5TAPPEN, he's the only one who can do it
 
Holy shit, I know it likely won't happen but I want Max to win because I want to see the devastated look on Fat Brown's face for bungling what should have been a slam dunk Championship this year.

Incoming terrible album followed by utterly clueless punditry.

Max dragging this shit from over 4 race victories of points deficit to under 1 is crazy even if he doesn't manage it. Let's hope for a Mclaren bungle Qatar or Abu to hand it to Max. I want to see the seeth from Zak in the following interview.
 
Hadjar could earn his RedBull seat for next year with one single trick in Qatar.

Norris can win the title by scoring 3 places in the coming races and sprint. So Verstappen needs help from Merc and Ferrari and somehow beat them all. I for one am waiting for a Hamilton 2007 memorial move (botching the car in the sand) and then we get a "all drivers within minimal points" scenario like 2007. For Verstappen and Red Bull to hold on for so long is something. And in addition Team Verstappen is still in P3 before Ferrari in the constructors.

I am wondering if Redbull should put Hadjar in the car for the final 2 races.

I think they should have put Hadjar in a few races ago, as Tsunoda isn't capable of getting ahead of either McLaren, whereas Hadjar might be able to.

A pity he won't have any time to bring himself up to speed with the Redbull, but I think it is a punt worth taking.

If Red Bull cared about anyone other than Verstappen, they'd have done this months ago. I guess they are more concerned about looking too flaky with their drivers, but I suspect there's a great game of theatrics going on in the sport where everyone watching knows what's happening and everyone involved pretends that nobody can see it (either that, or you have a bunch of Les Grossmans in some positions of power over at least the top four teams that know you can see what's happening and give as few shits as necessary).

Of course, I have a working theory that there's really no driver development at Red Bull and they just insist on keeping good drivers, but not anyone with enough potential to eclipse their golden boy. I have a different working theory that Max buddies up to all the rookies for the purposes of poaching later (I do not for one second believe that Max is buddy-buddy with anyone that isn't convenient to him); I think it's more likely that Antonelli ends up at Red Bull before Max ends up at Mercedes.

It makes no sense to swap drivers now, Red Bull should just keep doing what they've been doing, which is focusing on Verstappen.
Hadjar will be more useful to them in the RB for this title fight.

Tsunoda would match or beat Hadjar in the RB. Hadjar would be equally as shit as Tsunoda and Lawson in that Red Bull car.
 
The actual issue with the RBR machine is that it's actually one of the lesser cars of the grid but due to how close the overall grid parity is and how insanely skilled Verstappen is, he is capable of shining that turd to it's fullest.
