Totally agree, he doesn't have the racecraft and is a terrible starter. When you're this bad at converting poles to wins, you're not made of the right stuff ...

Actually Verstappen really deserves it.
Of course he does. Flawless the entire race.

It's a mad race in lots of rain.

A race he would likely have won without a red flag.
But Max is almost on rails. Lando just has driven poorly in these conditions.

I.live the guy, i don't want to see him leave, but he's not close to.team leader material.

He definitely shows why he is a top class racer

I was expecting things to go badly this race to be honest. Just the recent precedents of wet races do not favor McLaren, but didn't expect it to go this badly. Huge flop all-around.

Forget the WDC, but not taking more points out of Ferrari here is laughable to be honest. Two Alpines on the podium and they are fighting each-other at 6th and 7th :lol"

But he still likely wins without the red flag.

Man Lando, so many mistakes, no real pace, he has a good race craft, so I believe something is wrong with the setup or characteristics of the car.

Maybe going for higher downforce was not the best call. The car is fast in the twisty bits but can't catch in any of the straights.

Still, it was a nice dream to think of WDC.

We need to seal WCC!

Max has been great, but he was stuck behind Leclerc.

But, I don't think either driver has stood out.( but lando still wins without the red flag)

After Piastri mistake where he dropped 4 seconds back he is now about 1 second faster than Norris. I think the car has plenty of pace but can't overtake due to high drag due to the wing.

I think it should be clear they went too hard on downforce, there's pace to get close to cars, but no speed to overtake.

Which is also why we sucked at all the restarts.

Let's just focus on WCC.
WDC was never a realistic chance.

Neither driver stood out? I cannot understand how anyone can't recognise the mastery of Maxs display and the absolute gap in class between the two drivers, it's that big here today

I was talking g about neither McLaren driver. Max has been the class apart.
