Rick, I think LEW needs to be concerned about losing 3rd in the DC to Lando at this rate. The gap is only 31 points now with 2 races to go.

Lewis has one DNF and Lando keeps up with his recent performance. . .

Sure , Lando is on another level now and if he continues his stellar drive then there's no reason not too, Merc does appear to have lost their way for the moment with various issues like too worn engines and high tyre deg .

The new Las Vegas track driven in the dark with the lowest temperatures of all GP races of the season: let's wait and see which driver and car can cope best.

The Abu Dhabi track: Mercedes usually operates well at that circuit.

25 (victory) + 1 (FL) + 25 (victory) + 1 (FL) = maximum 52 points still up for grabs.

Normally Hamilton (226 points) will secure #3 in the WDC. Bridging the 32 points gap to Perez (258 points - #2 in the WDC) is mathematically still possible, but unlikely IRL.

Mercedes is leading Ferrari with 20 points in the WCC. Normally Mercedes should secure #2 in the WCC, but a DNF could have dire consequences.

Christian Horner thinking "Well that seals it. Break out the checkbook for Alonso".

Hold that train, maybe we'll see but the amount of times Horner has said Checo has a contract for next year, Horner appeared to be talking definitely about Checo staying...but did he specifically say at RB ? I'm not sure
I'm sure ''someone'' will add to it.

Alonso > Perez

Tsunoda > Ricciardo

That leaves one driver short at the renamed '24 AT.

Hmm it seems like just last week, Cheko was washed up and his seat was going to Daniel Ricciardo? Also it seems that Alonso was done with Aston Martin and was in line for Cheko's seat at Red Bull? What a difference a couple days makes.

Some of your boys best stay away from games of chance.

Time for my shut eye, hope to see some more predictions for any possible seat swaps for '24 tomorrow.

Really good race today and Max really just laid it on this weekend. Really good race from Checo too. Almost had that P3 but solid race either way.
MB looked awful and Lec just got unlucky. AT is looking pretty good on pace too.

The records are incredible to say the least.
