Marko reckons the size of Norris’s win in the Dutch GP means he cannot be counted out of beating Verstappen to the 2024 drivers’ title, with McLaren bearing down in constructors’ standings too

    Constructors should be easy for mclaren as they have two cars that score good points but drivers it’s such a gap and max isn’t dropping enough points without dnfs and other teams getting between max and lando. There are 8 races left so even allowing only one bad race for lando he needs 10 points more a race, which is max in third, just not been happening enough.

      I count 9 left on the calendar, is one not being run?

      If McLaren is as dominate as Lando showed this weekend Oscar will certainly be ahead of Max in a few of the remaining races. Oscar has show to have similar pace to Lando so it’s not Perez with RB.

        Ah my fault, miscounted.

        The problem is it still needs to be 7 races in a row that lando wins and Oscar beats max, not a few. That’s a huge ask, especially when the likes of Merc or Ferrari have been stealing wins here and there and it’s highly unlikely that Max would win zero races between now and the end of the season.
