Its how Max has always been, I dont see why anyone is surprised. If you win races comfortably with little effort there is no reason to be upset, so nobody saw that side of him for a while.
You are talking with little sense.
Max would not have complained a bit if the strategy set up by the team had not put him at big disadvantage twice. He would have settled third, doing what he can with this car. You don't choose to let Hamilton and Leclerc undercut you again after seeing how hard it was to overtake.
That's was infuriating. Max is doing miracles to try to salvage a team with a diminished car, wrong development path, weakening pit stops and calls, and now just downright terrible strategy.
Max won't accept mediocrity and shouldn't. I am all for him to put pressure on the team to perform better.
I don't think their strategy was bad at all.Things can not always go your way. They realised that they can do nothing about mclarens so they tried staying longer and hoping for safety car. If there was safety car after mclarens pitted they would have won the race and everyone would say it was masterful strategy.
This strategy was the only way they could have possibility to win.
And if Max didn't lose his cool he could have still be on podium.
Not really.
Max with this strategy was 1% likely to finish ahead of P3 , 20% of chance to finish P3 and 79% of chance to finish outside of the podium.
With countering the undercut and stopping firth he was like 90% likely to finish P3 and 10% below.
You underestimate how hard it was to overtake. It was nearly impossible.
You underestimate how much time Max lost due to staying on track long. At that point, even with a safetycar, the McLaren would still have had the time to regain P1 and P2 before Max could end his pitstop.
