This season has been a write-off since Bahrain is we're being honest. Most people didn't want to be pessimistic but the expert analysts warned us even after testing already, and after a handful of races it was definitely clear.
What I'm curious about is whether anyone else can win before 2026. I know it sounds negative but the cars are more reliable than ever and the driver quality of the grid is higher than ever, so the chances of random incidents taking out both RBs are lower than they've ever been. And Max himself has basically completely cut out mistakes from his driving.
