If Kimi wouldn't have wrecklessly knocked him out of austria, max would be leading the championship.

Sure but if Lando hadn't had an engine blow out in Zandvoort, then the title would've been already wrapped up in extremely boring fashion. Max also threw away some very valuable points in Spain when he threw a fit and drove into George.   

That should be the most talked about "what if." He threw away points for no reason because he thought he had no chance at the title. Those points could easily end up being the difference in him winning or losing the WDC.

Exactly, Verstappen cost himself 9 points by throwing a tantrum. He would be 3 points behind right now with everything in his hands if he had just not been a baby.

It would be quite befitting if, in Max's most mature, professional season, his one ridiculous temper tantrum is what ends up being the difference keeping him from his 5th championship.

He will if he finishes 5th or higher and Alex finishes out of the points.

What's wild is the points flip:  All 73 of Alex's points were scored before Baku - at that point, Carlos only had 16 points.  48 of Carlos' points have come in the past 7 races (and sprints).  Talk about closing out the season strong!

So, how would y'all like a new high-level OW series based on, say, a spec V10 & spec chassis the first season, with teams able to develop them independently going forward, under a cost cap? And let's say that series was going to start in 2028 ....

Sounds like it has potential to me.
