Lol

Norris couldn't have done this even before RB started getting their car back under control. Add Ferrari to the mix and he's even more cooked.

The only thing that's went right for them is that Merc took another big step backwards after seemingly sorting their shit out.

Am I reading this right? Norris needs to finish 1P higher than Max to keep the title fight alive, 2P if Max got the fastest lap?

Yes, and "alive" is quite stretching it. Even if Norris wins every point still available in the last 3 race weekends, Verstappen only needs 24 points to secure the title. He could finish 6th three times to secure the title. Even if Verstappen doesn't get a single point in the last races, Norris needs to finish second every race and sprint and then get at least two more points through fastest laps or a win. There is still some mathematical chance but in reality over.

I think Vegas might seal the deal though, if Brazil (theoretically) hadn't already.

That is, if the RB is now as good in conditions other than rain.

By going back in time and actually winning the previous races that he and McLaren fumbled hard. It's not going to happen this year.

There is such a slim chance at this point. McLaren needs to focus on winning the constructors since they are still vulnerable with Ferrari and Red Bull not too far behind them.
