I think starting from 3rd is much better due to that huge straight and if Max divebombs out of bounds along with Sainz we might have Lando first by the end of first turn.
Max will ignore Sainz.
Negative. Max likes to win, Max also tends to win out in the braking zone at Mexico T1. He'll go for it if it's there.

I wouldn't be worried about WCC if Piastri was able to be close to Norris in pace. But he is inconsistent.

So frustrating. Still I think the car has the pace and they will unlock it.

I hope so. Sainz is not one to let him through easily. He is also leaving Ferrari so less of a reason to prioritize WCC.

Im sure Oscar Piastri will come alive in the next race. He wont be bad forever and the Ferraris wont be competitive forever.

Do wish people would stop writing off Max and RB, that car is still very good. Yet people act like he's a God when he gets it performing as it should.

Max is a fantastic talent and obviously his car is still good. However he tends to bully people and that damages his image of a driver that is in the calibre of gods like Senna Hamilton, Alonso or Schumacher. I believe he could be on that level if he starts battling clean.

I’m not going to lie, I didn’t want it to feel like Mclaren would have to hang on to the WCC lead with the run in till the end of the season but this has all the hallmarks of the Mclaren/ Ferrari battle for P3 in the 2021 WCC. Come the end of the season Ferrari annihilated McLaren on pace and points

So what you're saying is he is exactly like those two?

Lando will cruise to a win tomorrow IMO

Hoping the Ferraris can give Max trouble and keep him off the podium.

Allow me to rephrase. He tends to bully people and that damages the image of someone who is supposed to be or targets to be a god like Senna, Prost, Alonso, Hamilton or Schumacher.

Since when did cooler temps become Ferrari's forte lol.

They have been struggling on cold temps all season, their car's biggest weakness is warming up tires quickly. It's why they haven't been amazing on quali all season. Cooler temps should hurt them.

All season changed after Monza though. This is new Ferrari.
