Yep. Can see Verstappen getting dangerous again.Exactly. Max has bullied a lot of drivers on track. The "new" calmer Max of recent seasons was because his car was so dominant he didn't need any antics.
Anyone who has some sort of car parity with Max is going to have to get feisty and be prepared for a proper, hard confrontation. Tbh Russell is one I'd think might have the "coldness" required to take on Max.
If Norris remains a genuine challenger then his friendship with Max and the previous warm words from Red Bull will soon disappear.
Sainz...Genuinely think you could put me in that redbull and I'd do better
He's useless, but who do they replace him with? Tsunoda ain't great and Danny Ric needs the scrapheap too
Sainz...
Chance to drive for the greatest team in F1, most glamorous. I reckon he's happy with his lot even if it doesn't work out.Mercedes seem to be getting their act together, finally. I wonder if in retrospect Hamilton is beginning to regret his move to Ferrari. At the start of the season it looked like a good move, i'm not so sure now.
This could be the season where pandering to Max (by not having a proper 2nd driver) could cost them the constructors.See, thing is Sainz wouldn't take the kind of second driver treatment they're going to expect. He won't do it at Ferrari, he didn't like doing it at Toro Rosso, no way he'd do it at Red Bull.
They want a Barrichello at Ferrari type. A dependable second driver, good enough to back up their lead driver with constant top three/four finishes, and there to win on the weekend Max isn't on it.

Wonder Perez has the mindset of F*** em. We know he's moody at the best of times and he did let Hamilton through easy on that last pass. Know he's supposed to but could have made it a little awkward for a corner or two to let Max close in. Plus don't reckon he's ever got over that race where Max wouldn't swap back places.Telling stat I've just seen is that Hulkenberg in the Haas has now scored more points in the last two races than Perez has in the last 6!
Not sure I agree with your Lando assessment. He's not a Lewis or Max, but there haven't been many of those through the history of F1. He's more a Damon Hill/Nigel Mansell. Could win a title if he's in the right car and the stars align.What a fucking race that was
Never cheered Lewis Hamilton home before, I did today, delighted to see him win again
Shit strategy from Mclaren yes but again, Lando not up to it for me. Ends up in no man's land at the.start again, misses his marks in the pits which cost him 3 seconds aswell. I stand by it, Lando is not good enough to win a world title. Piastri will win one before him
Another funny Perez stat. Today he got lapped by Logan Sargent
Too early to tell anyway. Both Verstappen and Hamilton (in particular) have had seasons where they were just as capable of making repeated errors when the car needs them to push at 100% and beyond all the time.Not sure I agree with your Lando assessment.

McLaren approach/mindset was all wrong. Giving Norris info about tyre selection based on covering either Lewis or Max - should have been "we think this tyre gives you best chance of winning".Too early to tell anyway.

Although interesting that Piastri said without hesitation that medium was the best tyre, no doubt.McLaren approach/mindset was all wrong. Giving Norris info about tyre selection based on covering either Lewis or Max - should have been "we think this tyre gives you best chance of winning".
