Slow stop + Verstappen isn't pushing
Max is sandbagging. Late pitstops, asked to slow things down. Just keeping the gap as it is and not pushing with his new tyres. Pulling an easy fastest lap right before the end.
The track is excellent, the tires are crap. Not to mention we have 4 more years of these crap tires!InsaneX_Badger wrote: ↑08 Oct 2023, 20:30This track should never ever grace a formula one car ever again, there's so many other tracks that can take its place.
Perez has no race pace + when Verstappen isn't pushing he's still not usually slower than others by a few tenths
Agreed. Really like the track too.dans79 wrote: ↑08 Oct 2023, 20:32The track is excellent, the tires are crap.

Whatever the case this is the closest mclaren was this year. In a straight fight this would be a really good race, but as it stands everything that could go Verstappens way did. Even the stupid pitstops could hardly sort themselves better with mclaren dropping 5-10 seconds by being stuck behind slower cars.
As he should. Never a good idea on trying to be a hero on the outside while three cars abreast. Same mistake Perez did yesterday.Mchamilton wrote: ↑08 Oct 2023, 20:35lewis has taken full responsibility for the incident on his Instagram story
