https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/...-2024-title-with-mclaren-or-ferrari/10676306/ This is a bit of a click bait title, but an interesting discussion. McLaren for sure yes, Ferrari feels more marginal to me. Verstappen has 8 wins - 4/5 were largely the car, 2/3 were him making up for a small car deficit, 1 was largely just his skill. Were there 2/3 races where Verstappen in a Ferrari would have made the difference? Azerbaijan comes to mind (but is one of Max’s weakest circuits), I’m struggling to think of others.

It had Colapinto joking that it would be a “mess” if the drivers were tested in Nevada. “There was a smell of marijuana,” the Argentinean driver said after practice. “If they dope the drivers now, I think we’ll all test positive. “When we all test positive, there will be a mess.” Sergio Perez also wasn’t happy with the strong smell in the air, telling DAZN that it was something the drivers would have to speak with the FIA about. “What is very noticeable around the track is the smell of marijuana,” he said. “I’m tired of it already. The amount is incredible. “It’s something all the drivers will definitely talk about.” Fans attending the Las Vegas Grand Prix are banned from bringing drugs into the circuit, however, weed is legal in Nevada . Although F1’s testing policy isn’t often discussed, Max Verstappen had a complaint earlier this year when he woken early on the Friday morning of the Dutch Grand Pix for a drug test. “I had a lovely morning this morning,” the Red Bull driver revealed on a Twitch stream. “So I’m in bed and suddenly the doorbell rings. “I’m like, ‘what the f***? Who the f*** is ringing the doorbell of the motorhome?’ And then I look at my phone it’s 7 o’clock [in the morning] and I’m like, ‘what the f*** is going on?’ “So I go to the door and open the door and, yep, doping control! At 7am! I was like ‘great, what a great start to the weekend!’ Then it took me one hour to go to the toilet, so that was also fantastic.” He added: “I don’t know why, but this year I have been tested already five times, which I think in F1 is quite a lot.”
I guess the answer would be still winning Brazil , plus the taking the win from Sainz in Australia and Mexico, then assuming that Leclerc in the RB loses a few extra races to Norris. I doubt it though. Max being worth 60 points over Norris I can believe, but 80 points better than a relatively mistake free Charles is a tall order. (Assuming they swap seats of course, Max would definitely win if anyone outside of the Lando, Charles or George get the vacant Red Bull)
