"Max was created by FIA.

He evolved.

He rebelled.

And he has a plan."

Bah Gawd it's WRC with a steel chair!

Oi you beat me to the post by 13 seconds so I guess I'm deleting mine. Here's another source if you don't want to give Elon clicks: https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/breaking-ricciardo-to-leave-rb-with-immediate-effect-as-team-get-set-for-mid.1O8CDJ6kYB9VsxpPrbqxX0

With 8 Grand Prix and 3 Sprints to go Lando would need to outscore Max by 7.75 points on average every remaining race weekend. Considering Red Bull's struggles with their car and competitiveness of Mercedes and Ferrari, just a mix of consistent podiums and wins would give Norris a good shot at WDC. Even today he closed the gap by 8 points, and there's still Singapore and Qatar coming up, so I'm expecting a bigger swing in favour of McLaren. It's baffling they aren't using every opportunity to give Norris every possible point right now. I understand not wanting to strip Piastri of his first win in Hungary, but today their unwillingness to issue team orders cost them easy points.

On the other hand, good for Piastri. Unless McLaren takes a clear stance on prioritizing Lando, Oscar has no reason to act like his ~~doormat~~ number 2 driver. It would be hard for him to shake that reputation, and who knows how the WDC fight will look like in 2025.

So this is on Mercedes for miscalculating the weight and a DSQ is only fair.

However, this whole tyre weight and marble pickup thing seems so silly:

You pick up a different amount of marbles depending on track length (or no in-lap like in Spa), rain can wash them away, if you do a long stint your tyres have less rubber left on them. Tyres are standardized, identical between all teams for the whole season and Pirelli knows exactly how much they weigh brand new. After the race FIA could just weigh the car without wheels. I'm assuming right now teams are leaving a slight weight margin, so they would be able to run even closer to the limit if they didn't have to worry about tyre weight.

This is my headcanon now 😭

And Jesus has the audacity to say

Woe to that one by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that one not to have been born.

Guess what, someone had to betray you for the story to go forward

The only story that pops up is a pipeline rupture in Satartia, Mississippi. No fatalities, 46 people hospitalized. ~~Maybe OP is misremembering?~~

I thought it was obvious enough😭

Pérez was only 4 points behind Max today, cut him some slack.
