Both can be true, as well. End of 2022, all of 2023 and the first couple of races of 2024 he clearly had the best car. However, that doesn't take away from the fact that Max is an absolute demon behind the wheel, and in terms of pace and driving skill he will no doubt go down in history as one of the best of all time, probably going on to become a legendary name like Jim Clark.

Max knows he has earned that pole. No wonder he is happy

It was to be expected - the CashGrab is easier to drive compared to the Red Bull :(

Though he looked promising in Q1, even if he was only 0.3s down on Max there

Yea that seemed super cut and dry, sadly

Yeah, he got a 3 place grid penalty for that.

All 3 broke the previous track record by Verstappen last year.

It's probably part of the seat belt cutting into his leg at high G. I imagine it's fine when he's sat in the garage but if he goes through Spoon it's starts hurting.

I imagine we'll hear it in post.

Whatever it is he's at least managed to get out of q1 while dealing with it

Clearly hemorrhoids

My guess is 0; they sent a bunch of dudes out there with weed whackers after p2

Edit: welp I'll go eat my hat now

Quite enjoyed it. Like a small moment of meditation during the breaks.

It's fine here

I had that problem too

Working for me.
