That was a good show. Psyched for Ham and Ferrari getting it together with the strategy, despite Chuck having the worst luck this season. Speaking of bad luck, I think Kimi takes the cake. Another 7 DNFs, shows these power units are garbage.

I’m not saying George did the wrong thing but he got incredibly lucky with horrible stewardship

This is amusing.

Great race for Leclerc! I don’t know what Ferrari were thinking bringing in Hamilton. 4 laps to go under safety car and they think he is gonna get around Russell? Ugh.
Turned out to be a fun and interesting race
-
more interested in the safety car decision for the last lap. maFIA at it again..

2021 doesn't want a last lap, screws Hamilton
2026 doesn't get a last lap, screws Hamilton again..

Bro, wtf was that with the Ferrari penalties?! They proper fucked Lewis and Charles got off free with a much bolder offense. F'real, Oscar should've backed out. IMO, neither should have gotten a penalty, That was super unbalanced and inconsistent.
Kimi is a monster, but at the same time, he's gotten incredible lucky with his particular Merc....which seems to be working pretty consistently only for him.

Thanks @Tago-Mago. Now corrected.

11 races to down, 11 races to come and this is what the bookies say...
Based on the current betting markets and bookmaker odds, the implied probability of each driver winning the 2026 World Drivers' Championship heavily favors the championship leader:
Andrea Kimi Antonelli: Around 80% to 82% implied probability (priced heavily as a -400 to -475 favorite). Lewis Hamilton: Around 11% to 12% implied probability (priced roughly between +600 to +800).Let's hope there is more drama that that.

Driver Team Bookmaker Odds Implied Probability Andrea Kimi Antonelli Mercedes 1/4 to 2/9 (Approx. -425) ~78% - 80% Lewis Hamilton Ferrari 6/1 to 13/2 (Approx. +700) ~12% - 13% George Russell Mercedes 16/1 to 20/1 (Approx. +1700) ~5% - 6% Charles Leclerc Ferrari 20/1 to 25/1 (Approx. +2500) ~4% - 5% Lando Norris McLaren 20/1 to 25/1 (Approx. +2200) ~4% - 5% -
So, if I had to choose which drivers to have a drink with, it would be Lewis, Max, Nico, Alonso and Bottas. I would happily pass on Lando.
-
@Bridger This seems legit to me. Also, since the last two races will probably be cancelled, less time to make up ground on Kimi.
I'd be pretty psyched for the kid to win WDC. Crazy to me that Russell can't come close to him this season.

2025 Mercedes Team Comparison
@WhiskeySandwich - I agree about George. Such a turnaround since last year. Something in Kimi has just clicked and he has turned into a freakin' race beast.
