That is a fair question.
That’s poor from the British journos.
I’m no fan of Verstappen but 2022 onwards the stuff he says without his crash helmet on I tend to agree with.
yeah I thought we were fuc*ed with that SC and Max not pitting but finally a bit of luck with the Red flag, and of course that majestic drive by Max. I think I've lost one year life todayVettel165 wrote: ↑03 Nov 2024, 21:33Looking back again, cant believe what happened. Max started P17 blasted through the field and then won by 20 seconds. We were finally a little bit lucky with the red flag and we could change the tyres. No words, I will sleep well now for 3 weeks. Now just bring it home please. Couldnt wish for a better birthday gift. Thank you.
Max in the rain is on the same level as Senna, Schumacher were. Also I am thinking if the race was dry, it would have been an easy 1-2 for Mclaren, with Verstappen probably around fourth place.
McLaren could have still had an easy 1-2 if it was probably Max and some other driver in that car, with a 20s gap lol.Vettel165 wrote: ↑03 Nov 2024, 21:33Looking back again, cant believe what happened.

GP: Max, tires?
Max: Does it keep raining or not? Now it's still extreme.
GP: We have this rain only for another 4 minutes Max.
Max: ok, f***. After that it's dry or no rain? If it's only 4 minutes I'll stay out. You need to advise me with the radar I don't know.
GP: Yeah yeah don't worry Max, just chatting here. I'll let you know. Still happy with flap?
Max: Yeah
GP: VSC ending Max, VSC ending
*after Juncao, before pit entry*
Max: f*** it's a lot of water but...let's try a lap
GP: Stay out, recharge off. Just be very careful please Max, very careful.
I remember they used to talk about Vettel wanting all the records. Little did we know his successor would be the actual man who took them
When Max was driving his fastest laps, lap after lap with each lap about 1,5 tenth down you could see he was driving like a clockwork. And even in these conditions! Absolute masterclass. That Hinchcliff after the race was absolutely extatic about Max' drive, and rightfully so. It also meant that the car was well balanced. VER said that he was confident under braking so that helped him doing the passes in T1 without DRS. I wonder whether they have found something setup wise.
