Max isn't happy with his car. He has difficulties to control it. Something must happen fast because Lando is breathing down his neck.

It'll be a close run thing if he can do it.

Thank you. Last year McLaren scored 302 points in total. This year they have scored 516 so far with 6 grand prix and 2 'sprints' to go. That's 6x25+6x18+2x8+2x7+6(*)=294 more points to be had if they get first and second in the rest of the season.

A lot of the success it down to Andea Stella the Team Principal. He really understands how to build a team and make it work. He was responsible for getting Andrew to go back McLaren. Andrew speaks very highly of him.

*6 bonus point potential for fastest lap in each Grand Prix.

Max Verstappen did it again. World champion for the fourth time.

Yes and he definitely earned it this time. First one was gifted to him by the wrong decision on the last two laps of the last race of the season. Second and third the car was unbeatable. This time Max had neither and the race in the wet in Brazil was a masterpiece of driving. Other world champions have got there because of their cars, Vettel and Schumacher for example. This one was pure Max and well deserved.

It's interesting that GM are now a serious contender to enter a team in 2026 and are saying that Cadillac (who make engines for the American series) want to field their own full hybrid powertrain in 2028 in the GM car.

Russell is now ahead of Hamilton in the driver championship and if he stays there it will men he will have beaten Hamilton 2 out of 3 years they have raced together.

Ferrari made up points on Mclaren in the constructors championships with two races and a sprint to go!

It must be a jolly feeling to have a son working for the winning team, and no doubt he's rather pleased as well. I hope they give out bonuses to celebrate.  ;D

Well he earned it. He's been there through thick and thin. He went to Arrows in America and then went to Astra systems. Andrias Stella personally kept in contact with him. And his personal relationship as friends with Lando was what brought him back at the beginning of this season. He is coming back to the UK with his family in the new year. He's staying in the pit job as a performance engineer next season. But has been promoted so has other responsibilities in other areas.

I believe that there are substantial bonuses involved. :)

They couldn't have won with a better total of points :rofl:

Thank you. It has been a true team effort. Next year is going to be very interesting indeed.
