    The days of guaranteed chaos are over in F1, at least within these regulations. The drivers are higher quality than ever and the cars are more reliable than ever. This was what, the first safety car in 9 races or something like that? I remember a few years ago when a big deal was made of the first incident free F1 race ever (no red or yellow flags and all starting cars finishing the race) and now that is pretty much standard procedure.

    I too will attempt to pretend the title race is still on, but I’m not exactly holding my breath.

      The title race for constructor (and #2 in constructors too) definitely is still on.

        I’m pretty sure Red Bull is not in contention for the WCC. Unless Perez turns around and can drive consistently into the top 4 next to Verstappen. Which I don’t see happening. He will probably choke in Mexico again and drive the car into the walls.
