21 second lead in a 24 lap race. Another masterclass from Max.

Glad to see a better performance from Checo as well, minus the drama between the two Red Bull cars on that first lap.

Honestly Max feels like heโ€™s on another level even compared to other โ€œon another levelโ€ years from other drivers. Like, the consistency from Quali to race, event after event, is insane. A season to remember.

And I hate it like cmon max can you chill with the throttle I wanna see some racing at the front why you driving away bb?

And is not like both of their car pull out the same lead, so it is not just the car.

Exactly, I was talking to a buddy today and they were asking โ€œwhy is Checo so slow in the Red Bull?โ€ Bruh he ainโ€™t slow (heโ€™s had his rough moments but he ainโ€™t slow), Max is just out of his mind on speed

Yea Max is basically the result of an experiment to see what happens if you literally breed racing into a kid and train them from birth. He's a machine, and not just the pace itself but the damn consistency.

Yeah first lap was some bullshit from Checo, really dodgy forcing max onto the grass there.

On inters when the slicks were much faster in the final 8-10 laps.
