"All right then Who is it going to be Who is going to win the 2025 F1 WDC and WHY I am going to eliminate George Russell from the list. And then there were three. Will Oscar Piastri regain the form that saw him take the lead enduring for a huge portion of the season Can Lando Norris continue his better form of actually extracting the true potential of the McLaren Can Max Verstappen count on them to fight amongst themselves enough to squeak his way back into contention with the Red Bull likely to regain form at upcoming circuits Who you got"

"@Kiuly_ Yall is a bit much but everyone is aware of Red Bulls propensity for this. Ironically its a situation that is against them this time were the issue to be pushed"

"Next year is going to be really tough for him I fear. I think the entire field is about to have to revolutionize the way they leverage the PU deployment over a lap. And while all of them have to start fresh there Im not entirely sure if having deep preferences or longstanding attributes is going to be helpful. To be honest its a shame but the last few seasons of Lewis career might be a really peculiar set of racing regulations that dont quite look like what were used to for driving where its less about speed and more about the combination of pace plus PU manipulation. I am worried about this"

"Hats off to Toto Wolff. He has managed this situation brilliantly no matter what flak he catches. He has George right where he wants him with no other reasonable choices for George to consider but only inked to a short term deal. Toto has the PU that everybody (assumes they) will want in 2026. He has kept the relationship open enough with Max along with keeping from committing to George long term should either Max or Charles choose to leave their current teams for 2027. All while putting a little reasonable but motivating pressure on Kimi to take a step next season lest he be in danger of"

"Theres a ton of misunderstanding and inability to read the situation here make no mistake about this George can feel fine about having an exit option if he would like the problem is hes trapped. McLaren and Ferrari arent changing their lineups unless something utterly crazy happens. For the new regs discounting those two that means either Mercedes is better or Aston is better or Red Bull is better. Ponder how each of those scenarios plays out and you will deduce Toto played this brilliantly. George is trapped. If Mercedes nail it he doesnt want to go anywhere else and Toto has STILL avoided"

"You can argue that true. But Georges future has a good bit riding on this next Merc being good - because he wont be the one who gets the seat at a competitor that distances themselves from the rest. Either its McLaren and Ferrari who wont change their lineups or its Red Bull which means Max stays put or its Aston Martin which means Max would get first dibs on that seat"

"George is now trapped without long term security. It all comes down to Mercedes being good. If they are he is STILL in some level of threat of being replaced. If they arent he has nowhere else to go. Think about the scenarios and how they all play out and youll come to this same conclusion"

"While Max is there Not a chance. And thats the CORRECT decision. The proper way to fight for championships is to have a clear cut number one driver and a subservient but capable second seat driver. Red Bull just havent had that type of capable hands in that seat for X years now. This is what Merc did with Lewis what Red Bull did with Vettel (mostly) what McLaren did with Lewis for a couple years what Renault did with Alonso what Ferrari did with Schumacher what McLaren did with Mika etc etc. Thats the winning recipe for a WDC and WCC. Having two top drivers fighting one another requires a"

"Massas 2008 equals the 2008 shown by Hamilton. Absolutely. They both had some absolute inexplicable stinkers and some stellar races. Wins were 8-6 in favor of Ferrari couldve swung either way. It was 6-5 concerning Massa and Hamilton with Kimi securing X compared to the hapless Heikki who STILL managed a victory in the McLaren. Podiums are 19-13 in favor of Ferrari. This discrepancy is mainly down to the aforementioned 9-3 chasm between Kimi and Heikki Massa and Hamilton were 10-10 on podiums. The narrative conveniently gets rewritten in retrospect by those that didnt follow the season or"

"As far as the cars themselves they traded strengths and weaknesses. The Ferrari had great exit traction arguably better in high speed but struggled at times with tyre temps for quali in the cold. The McLaren was better at low dwf circuits more often than not had exceptional quali pace and overall edge in reliability. Ferrari did have an arguable overall advantage in race pace but the balance was not majorly askew"

"@Elson7James Thats a how to out it nicely a pretty thin defense argument when the premise of the main complaint is count up all the races not materially changed by a cheating scandal that you colluded over and covered up FOM and FIA. Which comes out with Massa as champion. 😅"
