So you think if you asked the entire worldwide audience you’d get about the same outcome? Oscar on 1, Lewis on 4? Sure.

Maybe, worldwide casual fans, new fans, old fans, keyboard warrior fans, merchandise purchasing fans? Worldwide UK fans?

You can have 1 opinion, the 2048 the race poll respondents are entitled to an opinion each too… 2048 x more data than you are providing?

Generally I think the audience loves a winner, and loves someone getting the most from a car - I would guess Max and George’s fan base growing this year on individual performance, while Oscar has been delivering consistently up till the last couple of races so would be gaining heaps of fans.

Sure it’s a uk centric sport and many international coverage is rebroadcast sky so the common Norris and Hamilton based commentatorgasms will also affect positive for those drivers with a chunk of casual audience.

Think that just leaves Alpine and Red Bull/Racing Bulls to be confirmed.

And if the rumours are anything to go by, it'll be between Lindblad, Tsunoda, Dunne and Lawson for the 3 available seats across RB and RBR.

Alpine is anyone's guess.

I bet Hadjar has blocked Marko's number at this stage.

"Dear Marko, I don't think I will be ready for the Red Bull until I secure a podi..., uh, I mean, victory in the Racing Bulls. Best of luck".

3? 2!

Max fix RB, Isack fix RB/rb, 2 Cockpits left.

Might be 3 seats for three drivers if this is anything to go by:

Interesting supposition I read earlier:

"George Russell in this year's McLaren would challenge for the title more than Norris is"

George Russell in this year's McLaren is already world champion.

George is awesome. Don’t know why beating Lewis in 2 seasons didn’t do it, but I’m glad he’s getting the recognition he deserves now.

My #2 behind Verstappen.

100% agreed, he’s always been underrated.
