Lewis just needs to sort out quali. If they give him the car he'll be up there. He may not be there all the time like he used to but he's still got it

This McLaren race pace disappearance has to be studied.
They said they didn’t were affected by the TE regarding water in the tires, looks like they might did
I don't recall tyres affecting the rear wing size. They couldn't use the Baku rear wing any more after the tests were clarified. Zak admitted as much during the race.

Don't forget Mercedes were also accused of in "watergate" and they haven't been affected. Also don't forget that there was NO PROOF of any team actually doing what Red Bull accused them of.....in fact the only team we KNOW ever did it WAS Red Bull in previous seasons (by their own admission).

I know we don't like the celebs being involved but it's kinda funny seeing Terry Crews fangirling over all the drivers 😂😂😂

I think the remaining races will show if they are affected or not. The only thing that strikes me as odd is that McLaren didn’t seem to be affected at all by degradation during the race compared to all the other teams. This race it seems they don’t have that advantage, has nothing to do with the rear wing

I was sure they were, but I have to admit that I can't now find any articles to back that up. That said I can't find any articles mentioning any of the other teams that were accused, so the only place it could have been would have been during live coverage. Maybe I'm wrong.

That said, both the FIA and Pirelli have said there was no evidence of any team actually doing what Red Bull claimed.

He does need to look up the definition of "dynasty" though.

From OED: "a succession of people from the same family who play a prominent role in business, politics, or another field"

Not sure we can say that his Dad played a "prominent role" in F1 😂

That's an american thing. When the same team wins 3-4 championships in a row they start to call them a dynasty, pretty weird.

Random thought.... If Red Bull knew Max was going to seal the WDC in Vegas, would they have ordered M4X sweatshirts rathe than t-shirts? 😂😂

You know I actually saw a post on Reddit where an American asked why Brits and Australians speak English and not their own language 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️😂😂😂

Winning a title with the car that will finish third in the WCC, bravo Max Verstappen!

Where did the McLaren pace disappear to?

That is impressive but first half of the season, redbull clearly no1 car. Second half mclaren was better car but ferrari and mercedes were best cars at some weekends. Therefore, that helped to Max also
