If the people on the tellybox are to believed Ferrari could be strong at the remaining races. Lando the most obvious threat but Charles equal on wins and far fewer points between Charles and Lando than Lando and Max.
Strange season when a Brit in a Mclaren is in with a shot and i find myself supporting Ferrari and thinking Max deserves the title.

If
“If is a very long word in Formula 1. In fact, ‘if’ is F1 spelled backwards.”

Considering how the Red Bull's performance has been compared with the McLaren (and Ferrari to a lesser extent), the fact that Max has still extended his gap throughout Red Bull's downturn makes it seem like it's a certainty that Max will take it. Maybe if he has a pair of DNFs the picture might change, but it'll take a massive points swing before I'd consider it up for grabs.
Think Leclerc needs 10-15 points per race over Max to be in with a shout, that's absolutely not happening. If Max DNFs in the next two, maybe it'll be a bit more feasible.
On a separate note, really hope Colapinto secures a decent seat in the next season or two. I wouldn't bet against him being alongside Sainz in '26 at this rate. Good to see Lawson perform too, and hilarious to see Alonso getting riled up about it. Don't get me wrong, I think Lawson was taking a few pages out of Max's book when it came to defending, but Alonso of all people complaining of these sorts of games is pretty funny (still love the guy though).

Hah! Constructor's sure, but might need the Lando/Max racing to get a bit more spicy before Charles is in with a shout. And I'm sure Ferrari would snatch defeat from the jaws of victory by pitting for wets in Abu Dhabi or something if he got the chance
