George haters conspicuously absent.
I’ve never heard Merc speak as openly and bullishly about an upcoming package as much as they have the forthcoming one in Malaysia. It must be a monster in their simulations.
It was a very clean and cool performance wasnt it?
What stood out for me though was that despite all the ADUO stuff and people not grasping the rules which all teams agreed to, Mercs aero efficiency is being downplayed big time. Max and Hadjar having Red Bulls best result at the most power sensitive circuit (tied with Canada) another standout.
If Piastri's middle sector times werent as quick, Max had a great chance of beating George because that RB was ridiculous fast down the straights. Even being 1.5 down on George and Piastri out the final corner Max was closing 1.1 seconds over multiple laps into turn 1 without overtake boost.
