Shame for woody smashing the hall to give Lewis the last podium space. World champ got done by safety car driving on ice. Then a superb recovering from 16 to 5th. Onto 6am race next Sunday Max never got done by the safety car, they just didn't have the car for the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seaside Dave Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 I'll disagree with that. If he didn't push as much before the safety car he would be been behind the front 7 or 8 after safety car on older tyres falling further behind leaders on fresh tyres. If max started on mediums maybe he would have benefited but was doomed from an early safety car on hard tyres. Cuz medium wouldn't have lasted the 40 laps or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the flip side I could see them go for a Championship competitor like Norris would be and basically get Verstappen told that he can have zero complaints given his constant quit threats. But if MV has given them assurances behind the scenes, I see them going for someone reliable who'll just churn out podiums and not rock the boat.
