I think that if the engineers at Max hadn’t installed the wrong or unsuitable underbody on Saturday, thereby throwing away the qualifying, McLaren wouldn’t have had a chance of winning today.
Good car today.
A really great race.
I read before the race, that Max tried using Yuki’s setup. Which I guess helped a bit in damage limitation, but the 3rd pit stop, that surely was total idiocy.
Max needed the 3rd stop or he would have been easily beaten and probably would have finished 5th
glad to have you back in here mate ![]()
3rd was his maximum to achieve…. Gosh…. He started from the pit lane…. ![]()
yeah, Yuki was real good today ![]()
Exactly, no one likes starting from the Pit lane. As you know, they have the longest wait.
Advantage of the fresher tires was huge today.
I was also impressed by Antonelli about how he really took the challenge on. Defended really well. Thought Max was going to get him. ![]()
champion of the future
George is getting old
Don’t right George off yet. Look at Fernando, he’s 40+ and still got the strength and Stamina to handle an F1 car.
We need to watch the McLaren pair, as that might get dirty next year.
Don`t think we can write George off just yet. But in this race it looked like he was behaving a little bit weak. Just kind of happy about where he ended up. Sadly. ![]()
George had problems with brakes.
Then he was not ONLY weak. ![]()
Piastri will have no doubts if Toto asks him to drive for Mercedes
All depends on where Mark Webber wants him to go, as he’s Piastri’s manager. I know money talks etc.
But we have the new regs as well to contend with.
money talks, but they all want a winning car and be not put to second driver
george had also problems with Max passing him on the outside
