I think Max will see a lot of success to 2026 but Ferrari will definitely make it difficult and at somepoint, Mercedes too. Alpine may as well if they find a driver better than Gasly/Ocon.
I agree Max will find it tougher from 2026, it depends what PU Audi comes up with and their team(s)? will be controlled by a no doubt stricter budget limit.
If Ferrari can break their duck of bad luck (no drivers championship since 2007) after more head rolling and shake up's there then it could come about for them. Without Rao now, Merc will have some dead cat bounces but somehow I can see them relegated to third best or worse.
