Could have been one of the best seasons of all time if Red Bull didn’t get that headstart. Can’t say I called that after Saudi, when it looked like Max would win every race until '26 by 30 seconds or more.
It definitely looks like it will be in terms of individual races, and potentially the Constructor’s, given Checo is doing Checo things.
However, we all know everyone only really cares about the driver’s championship. A season can have amazing races, but it’s hard to call it truly great when the winner is known before the halfway mark. And thanks to Red Bull’s headstart and points maximising that is the case here.

There’s a lot of races left. This can still be an amazing season
