but what was the point of having Max running an old floor while Perez has the latest ? doesn't seem to have payed off, maybe it was even slower seeing how Perez performed....did they use this race to experiment and find a new development path ?
The old floor is a reference point for new developments.
these new developments could arrive at Austin in two months, with a 4-week stop after Singapore, which means Max has to hold on for three races (Monza, Baku, Singapore), maybe affording 20-30 points lost
resuming at Austin with 40-50 point gap, 6 races to go and a win capable car would be good, but those developments will have to work seriously, Max needs a couple more wins to get the WDC
those 18/25 points lost in Melbourne for the clown show on brakes really hurt
