While Red Bull scored a total of 104 points from the trio of weekends, it was 86 points for Mercedes with a Ferrari driving along and secured 47 points.

Well we would say so. Yes, Verstappen started off well with a dominant show in Mexico. But then Hamilton caught up in Interlagos. Starts from P20 on the grid for the sprint, ends on P5 to start the main race from P10. But despite a 25-place penalty, he ultimately won the big trophy.
