Is Antonelli Really in Control of the Title Fight?

After extending his lead, Antonelli looks calm under pressure, but the remaining calendar could still expose weaknesses in race execution and tyre life.

Opening question: Is his current margin enough to call him the clear favourite, or can Ferrari and McLaren swing momentum before the final quarter?

He is in control on points, but not yet on pace in every track profile. If Ferrari nails two low-deg weekends, the pressure changes quickly.

For me the key is race management under safety car restarts. He has improved a lot, but title-deciding races are often decided there.

If Mercedes keeps this reliability trend, the lead is defendable. If not, the gap can disappear in three rounds.
