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

    Couple of DNFs

    Reliability issues are rare for Red Bull, I wouldn’t put much stock in that.

    Piastri and one of the Merc needs to keep Verstappen out of podium positions, and Lando needs to keep scoring podiums or race win(s) to mount a challenge.

      Mechanic failures are rare, but if Verstappen finds himself staring 2nd, 3rd, or further down there’s always the risk he’ll crash with his aggressive “style”. See Austria and Hungary

      Redbull are having reliability issues this year with both already taking engine penalties. And they’ve been limiting the high engine modes.

      Yeah I agree with you there, I don’t think it will happen and we’re looking at Verstappen WDC and McLaren WCC right now

      Who mentioned reliability? I’m thinking of the red mist taking himself out forcing an overtake that isn’t on.
