Who’s winning the WC?

Well fellow savages, this is a simple question.  Noting that there are more supporters in the WR than I would've expected (thank you Netflix) I think this is a pretty straightforward question to be asking right now.

After the UNREAL quali we just saw, 6 points between them, (6) races left including tmrw, and arguably the best title fight we've seen since 2016 (runner-up 2019), who's taking home the WC this year?

World Champion 2021?

Im pulling for Lewis but it feels like its an uphill battle he aint winning. Red Bull has the better car this year, Merc has been trash with strategy decisions, and even though I think Lewis is the better driver its close enough that Max will probably take it.

Mercedes has made a number of strategy errors this year, it has to be said. They’ve gotten sloppy over the years. Sakhir last year, was hilarioussss. Felt bad for George but the Mercedes errors were too funny.

Ya that was a disaster. They have gotten away with poor strategy but a way better car. They cant live in that world any more.

Seriously good drive today. Not even that much close combat, but flawless execution in his drive. He is and always will be my favourite driver

I would LOVE to see Lewis overtake Max for the WDC by the slimmest of margins. Max is turning into a little asshat with all of his exposure to Helmut in the RB garage. He needs to get knocked back down to earth.

Lewis needs to lose. Redbull has the better car this year and they seem to be ok on strategy here and there.

Why does he need to lose? He's still the best driver out there, which was on clear display yesterday off the line, and his chase down of Verstappen in the final laps. He has been plagued by shit strategy choices by James and team...which he cannot control.

@poweredbycaffeine sorry dude. Corrections: RB does not have the better car. They have a more competitive, more reliable car this year, but frequently fall short on straight-line speed. It corners well, but when it comes down to tyre deg., and more importantly the straights, where it’s easiest to pass, Lewis has a HUUGE advantage in both.<br>.<br>And the proof isn’t in the #1 drivers, it’s in the #2. Valterri is a great driver, but put ANY of: Lando, Daniel, Carlos, Charles, George, Max in equivalent hardware, they’d out-perform Valterri.<br>.<br>Excluding recent races where Checo has finally started clicking with the RB, and Valterri kind of checked out in between, Valterri was able to consistently outperform the field, competing with Max, and he’s not even in the same league. Checo by contrast has NOT been able to compete directly with Lewis. He’s very very good, but Max and Lewis are on that next level.<br>.<br>Lewis got a good start at COTA.. so what? Max has only stayed in contention because he consistently has good starts. This was one of very few hiccups for him (and he did still win). Max outperforms his vehicle, that’s why he’s the better driver. Lewis gets the best out of his vehicle, but he can’t compete directly with Max. Nobody at present can. George Russell in a Benz… that’s what I want to see. <br>.<br>Bet you Lewis is 3rd in the championship next year.

I want Lewis to win.  Max leaves me cold, I don't know why.   Unfortunately, I think Max has it this year.

Max leaves you cold because he is cold. He’s carved out of ICE, which is why I love him. He and I have practically the same personality.
.
He cannot be phased, he cannot be distracted, he doesn’t compromise or negotiate. He doesn’t make mistakes, he doesn’t get flustered.
.
I love Max so much. Cold as ice and hard as nails. That’s how a driver should be.

To each his own, I suppose.   Frankly, I see the same laser focus in Lewis.  No drama, just flat out driving.

For me,  Max fails in the ICE category when he speaks.

Nahhhh, if you think that you don’t listen to team radio.
.
Lewis is technically the most successful driver in HISTORY. He’s hardly going to be far down the ladder, but when Lewis gets rattled he REALLY gets rattled. He blames the team for strategy more than most (sometimes rightly so) and whines like a spoilt child. You see that from other whiners like Stroll, but NEVER see that from Max, Charles, George.
.
But where you really see the stress get to him is in straight racing. He gets passed by Max fair and square after restart under safety car (I think at Interlagos) and blames the team for not warning him about his battery charge. Valid? Maybe, but drivers DON’T do that. And you never, literally ever hear anything like that from Max.

From what I've been told (and please understand that I have always been an IC so I'm not one of the employees they really worry about being poached), non-competes are very hard to enforce.

The idea is no judge is going to deny your ability to work in your chosen profession and based on your experience because some company wants to protect their bottom line.
