Pretty clinical again from Max.

Got the position off Norris at start, and importantly got the overtake done on Russell when it was needed. Any driver will need to up their game a bit to beat Max in a WDC fight.
Mess with the Bull - you get the horns.

Without Max this car would be viewed as just podium capable since Miami

Max is really making the difference and it's a pleasure to watch him driving like this, maybe even more than the total campaign of last year.

This is what you get with Max. Clinical start (I prefer when he starts P2 just to watch the start) and a decisive overtake on Russell that Norris couldn't replicate with a faster car. Anyone can do fast laps in a fast car. To actually beat Max in a close battle, you have to be superior in all of the technical aspects of racing (starts, restarts, inlaps, outlaps, following, decisive overtakes, consistency) and well, Max doesn't leave any margin for anyone else to be better.


Sidenote, this "major upgrade" needs to be f***ing mega. That Mclaren is ridiculous.

Mega from Max, sneaking wins while his team mate is dossing about in lower positions . To me Max doesn't have any weaknesses and he's been able to show his class when other teams are close . As a Ham fan he's been a joy to watch from the outside. His bluntness is a breath of fresh air aswell

This was extremely tense, again. Not good for my heart. But Max indeed did everything right again. Team was also spot-on.

It is really crucial what Max is doing right now. He is leading Norris by 69pts, but he just stole two victories that would not have belonged to him.
Without those the difference would only be 41pts.

He will really need this margin and similar stellar races, unless Red Bull can turn this around with upgrades.

Max as always made the difference… Simply Lovely
The cheapest sort of pride is national pride, every miserable fool who has nothing at all of which he can be proud adopts, as a last resource, pride in the nation to which he belongs; thus reimbursing himself for his own inferiority.

All it will take is a nice magic wing

This is the kind of performances that take the soul out of his opponents, Norris was psychologically crushed at the end.

Crushing performance with the second fastest car, and I think that mclaren was easily 0.5 seconds faster.

Considering the rate of development of McLaren currently and their 3rd position in WCC with upcoming redistribution of ATR allowance, losing title fights is a very real possibility if the silverstone package does not deliver a significant gain.

Not sure how much a flexi front wing could bring when it does arrive (hopefully before the summer break?) but surely we're talking about a tenth maybe two at most. That won't be enough and it's certainly not a magic bullet

You need a car thats at least .3 - .4s a lap faster to beat Max Verstappen.
