Well l kinda said it didn't l, McLaren f*ck up and open to path for Verstappen to win. The real question is, was it premeditated to ensure a Norris win.
Qatar is a bogie track for Norris, but Abu Dhabi is a Norris track. However, it is also a risky race for Norris. A DNF of any kind would gift the championship to Verstappen or Piastri.
If Verstappen somehow manages to steal the driver's championship, Brown and Andreas would be the village idiots all of the 2026 season . The dumb arses that let a driver championship slip away.
