No. Max was already slow (for him) well before that.
No Max just said he got hindered by the yellow flag. He had to lift.
Yes, but his middle sector was already down - it's not like he was setting purples and then lost the pole because of that spin.
Sounded to me more like they were apricating his recovery from a very close off.
Agreed. Unfortunately you get that everywhere - Lewis has had his fair share of it too, over the years. Some people seem to like to hate the top guy and Max is currently the top guy. There's probably also some lingering anger from the end of last season.
That's nothing new! It happened to Alonso and Vettel too. Quite classy fans I must say.
