I love these kind of races. Max showed again why he's the best. Other than a small off at turn 1, no mistakes. Perfect driving, perfect strategy. The McLaren was faster, and the Mercedes was as fast, if not faster too. But Max just gets it done. A bit of luck with the first safety car, because...
Congrats to Charles, but that was the most boring parade in probably a decade. Magnusson being his usual self took all the strategy out of it. Was hoping for a bit of action when Max caught up to Russell but these cars are just too big. You can't do anything.
Max's floor was damaged from his little trip killing that bollard lol.
The Safety Car gave Lando his free stop. If the Safety Car had picked up Lando instead of Max, Lando would've rejoined in 2nd or 3rd. But, like Max said, it's racing, it happens. Glad that POS track is done with, Miami...
Happy for Lando. It was long overdue. McLaren seemed like they made a big step forward. But RedBull is always bad on street circuits. Imola will be interesting to see if they're still close. But this season isn't over yet, that's for sure.
My bet is Newey and Max are going to Aston Martin for 2026. Honda loves Max, so they'll happily pay his salary. Max and Alonso together would be epic. And I can see them teaming up together for the Le Mans Valkyrie project which is of course Newey's baby.
