Marko: "Alarming" Norris victory over Verstappen proves threat to both F1 titles (www.autosport.com)

Marko reckons the size of Norris’s win in the Dutch GP means he cannot be counted out of beating Verstappen to the 2024 drivers’ title, with McLaren bearing down in constructors’ standings too

Even a single DNF blows the title race wide open (assuming a Norris win). Max is still the favourite but it's mathematically possible for Norris even without any DNFs. Marko isn't wrong about the implication of the pace advantage - if Norris can win by 22 seconds and easily take fastest lap last lap on old hards then he might have a shot. Winning all remaining races and taking 7/9 fastest laps will have him win even with Max getting all second places.

Unlikely, but enough to make Max sweat and enough to give us viewers a bit of hope and uncertainty.
