Yes Max Will dominate but the question is who will step up for 2nd place. The drivers championship had a step from 2nd Perez to 8th Rusell. So Witch ever team can get consistency in performance, something lacked in 2023 Will get close. Piastri won a sprint race in a car that was at the back of the pack at season start and to the front mid way. Things happen accidents and reliability problems with car can happen. It is rare these days but anything you run under stress will break down some time. Also Red Bull has Mr Horner who is some personnel trouble and Ford there future engine provider don't like him due to scandal. I don't know what happened or care what goes on outside F1. Roumours are Gunther Stiener may replace him. I don't know how much this will affect team operations loosing one person as i don't know how much input Horner has on team. He could be a manager who just delegates jobs to different people and make's shore it is done.
