Will we see again the trimmed wing ? I still have nightmares.

It doesn't matter, even odd wins are out of question now unless very unusual circumstances.
Max can grab a podium on his better tracks and that's about it. It would be ironic if they came up with a tailormade rear wing just now, when they need it the least. So yeah, probably they'll have one.

Btw, I really don't understand today's strategy, but again, it did not make any difference. Maybe they were indeed afraid of the hard tyre.

Amazing work by Max to bring this *hitbox to the second place. Also Tsunoda was quite ok, bringing the car into points. Lets see what Monza with this low-drag can bring. Finally some joy on this sunday. :D

He did nothing noteworthy today, IMO. He couldn't, the car was embarrassingly slow on race pace. The way the Mclarens pulled away to 1s+ gap in less than half a lap during restarts, on harder tyres, was quite telling. Hadjar was focussed on defending his P4 (which became P3) , rather than going for the podium, and was a buffer behind Max. If not for him, LeClerc and Russel would've mounted a serious threat to Max's position.

One hand yes, it was a boring uneventful race for him.
On the other hand his teammate is struggling to score points in the same car.
Max being anywhere close to the podium is an achievement. We just got used to it.

This car belongs around p6 to p9, max is doing his magic bringing that extra tenths. Mark my words.

Maybe a biased opinion but the overtake at the start, keeping the car on track while overtaking in a part of the track covered with sand (which he knew while still going for it). But most of all, making a completely different and inefficient tyre strategy work for most part.

I think Monza could be Tsunoda best chance. It might be bad on traction but in Low Df it's faster in high speed corners than any car out there. Which means insane top speeds out of parabolica. I wouldn't be surprised if Max wins by 20 seconds and if the car was like 5-10kph faster than everyone.
Halo not as bad as we thought

You watched Spa Sprint ?. McLaren also don't have a really good low downforce set-up similar to Red Bull's issue last year. Ferrari can't run the car low enough for the high speeds of Monza but they might go all out and figure something out. Mercedes is the real threat but they don't have pace in high speed corners. Williams are naturally fast in Low Downforce. Would not be surprised if McLaren don't win the next three even if Red bull doesn't.
