Wondering if Kimi Antonelli will become F1's Alex Palou.
 
Now, Ferrari.....After all this ADUO and upgrade talk, I expected so soo sooo much more. First thing first, Charles keeps driving like he only needs to beat his teammates, and fights hard for the multi year contract that he already secured. I find it hard to believe that he ever thinks of or play the team game. He's been driving like this ever since he was partnered with Vettel and it does not seem like he plans to change that approach anytime soon. Second, why didn't they pit Lewis under the VSC when he was clearly using the same tire compound as Kimi and Max? Third, they had no pace whatsoever. Wasn't their car supposed to be less draggy than the Mclaren? There's been so much talk about their upgrades and getting ready for Monza, one ended up in the barrier and the other one got overtaken by all of their main competitors worth mentioning...just an embarrassing performance overall and to cap it off, Mercedes got a 1-2 there too...🤦‍♂️
I officially give up on Ferrari, at least as far as 2026 is concerned.
 
Piastris biggest lead was 34 points. He eventually lost by 13 points. A drop of 47 points. Antonelly is currently has a 66 point lead. Even if he drops off like Piastri did last year, he'd still comfortably win.
I'd say that Antonelli looks a lot stronger so far than Piastri did at the start of last year, so I think it's very unlikely he'll drop off like that, and he'd need to drop off worse to lose the championship.

Of course anything can happen and it's not impossible, but it would be the biggest fumble in F1 history.
OK well that changes my view immediately.
