The promise of a comeback with an English accent is not impossible. It is just still a little improbable. See Lando Norris win the championship F1 2024 can only happen if he performs in the last eight Grands Prix that remain to be contested, plus the three Sprints, and that the poor form of Red Bull et Max Verstappen continues.

The pilot McLaren could have had a smaller gap between him and his Dutch rival if he had not lost points in some races. If the fact that he could not keep the lead from a pole position start at the end of the first lap becomes a running gag within the paddock for example, this reflects the British driver's clumsiness. Without wanting to rewrite history, the objective here is above all to estimate the cost of Norris' errors in terms of points in the Drivers' standings and to imagine what the championship would have been like if everything had gone well.
