I just tried it on % of max constructor points available and if my sums are right, McLaren take it for '1988 again with

1988 McLaren (199/240) = 83%
2023 RBR (860/1058) = 81%
Interesting to hypothesize what RB's tally would be had they had a driver pairing comparative to McLaren 1988.

They should get rid of Spa, Silverstone and Sao Paulo and replace them (and all the other ones not mentionned) by something more interesting along the Avenue Louise, Thames Embankments and Copacabana beach...

Simple. Verstappen takes the narrow entry into the chicane which compromises his exit. Hamilton also gets the slipstream along the back straight.
