If what you were saying were true then him and Perez would be having shootouts each race. Really it's not. RedBull have a clear No.1 and no.2 and the no.1 car gets looked after better. Put any of the top drivers, (Alonso, Hamilton, Norris, Russell, and maybe a couple of others) in the same car and I believe they will beat the golden boy.

The cars are the same and why would Checo's team treat him worse than Max's team treat him? As for the second part...Russell 😂😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudi Skacel Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Yesterday was probably the first time that before a race iv not been gutted or annoyed at missing. I simply didnt care. Iv loved F1 since before I can remember. Its just mind numbing stuff. If Max is on pole he wins. If he isnt on pole then you just guess the number of laps he is behind before he overtakes and wins. Its not enjoyable atall. And I lived through the Ferrari years, nothing like this. This is how nuts it is, if Max wins the rest of the races this season (entirely possible) then he will have won as many races in one season as Hakkinen did in his career.

We've had Aston looking like best of the rest, then McLaren surging and falling away again, Williams looking great at certain courses. Mercedes plodding away consistently. Ferrari chaos. Quite a lot of podium variation. Some of the battles for the points has been great. If you're only interested in who is p1 then sure, it's boring. Personally everything else is as unpredictable as I can remember it. Edited September 4, 2023 by Taffin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all sky have talked about. Well apart from helmut Marko checo comments. 11th and 14th with penalty's to come. We might see max and checo both start from the pitlane.
