This year’s F1 championship is really getting interesting. Red Bull are falling back, and McLaren (and to some extent, Ferrari and Mercedes) are moving forward.

So, why has this reshuffle taken place? Why are McLaren so fast? Why is Red Bull struggling? And who is going to win the championship?

I think all the drivers from Mclaren, Mercedes and Ferrari will just keep taking points off of each other which will allow Verstappen to win the championship.

Piastri has Webber in his ear 24/7. He’s not gonna abide team orders EVER. The pain of “Multi-21” has migrated to mclaren.

British cope in full effect. Norris had 53 laps to pass back but couldn’t, took longer to pass Sainz, and made mistakes. Piastri’s pass in turn 4 was the result of Norris making a mistake in T2 (oversteer and off the throttle to catch it). How many WDCs have bottled 7/7 pole positions within the first lap in their career? Since Norris and Piastri have been in equal equipment, Piastri has scored more points. Norris was on tilt trying to pass Verstappen and crashed. Piastri is ice cold and has a reputation for clean passing

Norris is no Vettel and Piastri is no Bottas. If you want to ask for it, you need to deserve it. Norris is simply not good enough and doesn’t have the spirit of a WDC. Piastri is and does.

Mclaren want Constructors but keeping Piastri is most important to them
WDC is an afterthought

This guy proves that being just a bit British will make you blind and British biased.

Lando has to step up to compete with Oscar.

In a podcast, Coulthard & Jordan both praised Piastri's move. Admittedly, Mark Webber was also present, but EJ would speak up if he'd disagreed. Whatever ones take, calling it an _incident_ is a bit exaggerated.

[studiomoris]

This is a British point of view, Piastri was right, It s Lando to improve his start

[tmsd]

"Piastri was more agressive than I think was right". Don't agree. It was clean, fair and Lando was too conservative. Its racing

[tHebUm]

12:25 What do you mean didn't happen at Monza? Oscar's pass was totally clean, fair, and good racing. Even Lando said it was a good and fair move.

[willspritchard]

"After the incident between Piastri and Norris in Monza..." I think you mean "clean overtake on lap 1".

Can’t wait to see Max win the title and I hope you make a video all about how you knew he’d do it all along. It will happen.

2:16 the books in the background look like eric cartman

[tHebUm]

Scott is grossly overestimating Lando's ability to outscore Max by 8 points/event for the rest of the season. Even with RB struggling, Max is basically guaranteed to get 6 points/race (2/sprint race) and Merc/Ferrari/Oscar all have pace to prevent Lando from nothing but podiums. Short of a Lando win and Max DNF anomaly, it's going to be really tough for Lando to pull it back. I hope he does, but think Max managed due to all the ball dropping by McLaren so far.

The WDC gap between Verstappen and Norris has increased with nine points since Miami

[IvanProsper]

Piastri will be #1 soon enough. He has the poise and the mongrel in him to be champion. He's smart too. He's more like a Prost + Jones hybrid and Lando could say whatever he wants, but crashing into Oscar won't help his cause

[kevinmicallef]

The British bias has been strong since Monza. Lando had a poor start and Oscar capitalised. If Lando can’t handle being overtaken, perhaps he should look to hillclimb or time attract events. Lando would get more of my respect if he weren’t so quick to complain and put his woes on everyone else. I’m getting pretty sick of his attitude to be perfectly honest.

Alternate title: Brit weeping about how their golden boy doesn't get free candy from papa Zac.

[gogox]

I understand people saying that mclaren should back Lando, because he has more points. However, usually the driver backed needs to indisputably prove they are the better driver. You need to take Piastri's progress from last year into account. Sure, Lando was dominant in zandvoort, but he has been slower than his team mate multiple times (Spa, Hungary firat 2 stints, Silverstone, Monza, etc). Lewis and Max have been backed by their teams in the past, because they wiped the floors with their team mates. Lando is not doing that.

[DavidBergman]

Did you have a stroke with that title?

[OriginalTrev]

You honestly believe Lando would threaten Oscar with a deliberate crash?? Lando has the notoriety of being easy to pass on the first lap... Maybe Oscar had already cautioned Lando to hold the pole on the 1st lap or he would be one of the racers to simply drive around him???
