He got a serious warning last week, but he did not learn from it. This will cost him badly, next year Norris will drive nr 1. Maybe that will be a lesson for him.

This was actually good and worthwhile from Max's perspective. He got to hold Norris up the whole first stint, which ultimately most likely cost him the win. Norris P1 and Max P4 would have been a much worse outcome for him points-wise, so I'm not sure Max is going to learn a whole lot from this race other than "I'll do it again".

No driver intentionally picks up 20 seconds in delays. He'll have to be more cautious if he wants to win.

Right now it's more about stopping Norris by any means for him. He'll probably take less risk if he feels he has more competitive pace.

[–] essteeyou 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

He drives like that against everybody, not just Norris.

I remember he was crazy like that during his first race in Brazil and thought he would calm down with the years. Nope, still crazy.

Basically waving by Sainz into T1 would tell us otherwise.

Norris will drive nr 1

What does this meanΒΏ? Number 1ΒΏ?

Sounds like an oddly worded championship prediction.

Edit: Just to be clear I wasn't trying to be rude.
