This is the weirdest title race ever - 2 wins in the last 9 GPs for Lando and Max
I know there was a sprint win or two in there, but in terms of actual races the two title contenders have won 2 Grand Prixs from a possible 9 since Spain (June 23).
I can’t remember a title race like this before…it’s highly possible, albeit unlikely, that neither of them could win a race again this season. I’ve been watching since ’98 and this feels very unique.
I know the year Keke Rosberg won was similar, but that was an anomaly, and there were A LOT less races back then.
Max looks likely to retain his title through consistent 2nd-5th place finishes. If he doesn’t win another race this year, that means he ends the season as champions despite not winning for 14 races in a row. That’s longer than most seasons prior to this century!
