Marko: "Alarming" Norris victory over Verstappen proves threat to both F1 titles
Marko reckons the size of Norris’s win in the Dutch GP means he cannot be counted out of beating Verstappen to the 2024 drivers’ title, with McLaren bearing down in constructors’ standings too
You're viewing a single thread.
The constructors title is in danger, there's no doubt about it. For the drivers title however, Verstappen still holds a comfortable cushion. Even if Norris goes full domination and wins the 6 remaining feature races, Verstappen can defend his lead by only finishing 3rd each race. Norris' only chance are basically DNFs from Verstappen or another constructor stepping up and consistently finishing between him and Verstappen
There's 9 race weekends left and 3 of the are sprints, not 6.
More like finishing 2nd if Norris goes on that dominant a streak, which doesn't seem super likely given he's had a great car for ~7-9 races now and has 2 wins to show for it
Oh, you're absolutely correct. My bad. In my defense, I was confused by this slightly broken table in the German Wikipedia. I didn't realise there were normal race weekends after USA, Brazil and Qatar.
Oh that is a weird table. It looks good on the Wikipedia app.
Either way, very excited for the season to go so long into December this year. A shorter off season might be worse for everyone in F1, but it's nice for me :)
