It's such a long shot that's based on three things.
Red Bull continues to struggle.
McLaren stays on form.
Ferrari/Mercedes
A driver's title almost seems impossible at this point. All it takes is one good Verstappen race and it's all over.
-
Yes, but it also only takes 1 Verstappen retirement to really bring things closer.
I don't disagree that it's a long shot at this point though. If Red Bull can stay in the mix for podiums (and Verstappen is always a threat there) his WDC is pretty safe with the lead he's got now.

McLaren stays on form.
That is the main issue, because McLaren is not in a great form right now. They must reduce a gap that nobody had ever managed to reduce in the history of the sport. They have to deliver 10/10 every weekend, they have to be clinical. McLaren is nowhere near to that.
-
There also are more races than ever before. On average he needs to catch 7 points per race. That's difficult but doable with the current point structure and amount of races left

McLaren is not in a great form right now
Are we watching the same races? They're in the best form they've been in for more than a decade, they currently have the fastest car, and they lost the win yesterday on strategy not performance. I agree with you that they need to really be on it, but it's definitely looking possible!

They should have thought about this before the summer break.

This far in the season yeah, bit Norris isn't doing himself any favours losing the lead from pole. Still didn't seem so long ago he was just stoked about winning a race.
-
And Piastri isn't doing the team a favor by squeezing his teammate so hard he loses two places.
-
It just shows how important it is to have the best car in the race

Good morning, McLaren..
I hope it's not too little too late for WDC.
No no. We hear Ferrari is making a move. And when they do, pounce! Block! It's a 3rd for you!
