VET had a 14 point lead, now its down to 7. He needs to win Monza and Kimi needs a podium to keep any WCC hopes alive. .. HAM looks more comfortable in the car compared to VET, Mercedes just as that slight edge and IMO its down the the drivers now.
As for ALO, I no longer feel bad for him. He's being a diva, Lauda basically said that VET could have drove for Mercedes next season with welcoming arms. There was no such welcome for ALO... ALO is forever stuck at McLaren unless he leaves the series. All of his bitching,moaning and tossing the team under the bus is getting old. It was funny at first but now hes 100% there for the money and he knows hes toxic, no other team will touch him including Renault. The McLaren chassis isn't that horrible it's just Honda not being able to compete the package.
That being said.. Just a few weeks until I at the Malaysian Grand Prix
