I have a feeling that the game could have gone differently on clean air but Max had to be the typical Max.

My man, he is 4s behind. This is the pace in clear air.

If he had kept P1 he would have been overtaken easily being 1s off the pace.

The Mclaren just isn't very fast here. It happens.

Poorly executed T1 by Lando. Should have never allowed that lunge by Max.
Max went super tight and pushed Norris out of the track.

Later on he went full throttle off the track to keep ahead of Sainz. Are stewards in the race?
At turn 1 they are always more lenient. Lando was just not clever in his defense in my opinion, Max was always going to go in hard. Lando needed to by the one aggressively controlling the space, but he let Max do that instead

Joke is if max wasn’t such a petulant infant, they could have probably worked together to keep the mighty Ferrari behind but because of the Dutch imbecile they are now both worse off.

What an absolute moron

This is a perfect situation for Max, what do you mean? He is still P2, but Lando is down in P4. Why would he care about the win if he is outscoring Lando.

Maybe. I suppose the car is very bad here. I am pissed however seeing the stewards delivering penalties depending on how you are called. Rusell got a 5 sec penalty for forcing someone off the track where to be honest it was a clear passing while Max escapes yet again with his usual divebomb and sending the other off the track not to mention going off track again gaining an advantage. What a farce of an FIA.

Looks like this could potentially be it, unless the car is somehow mighty on hards.

It seems the team was trying to go one stop. Maybe just maybe this is tyre management even though it doesn't look that way. Leclerc is really fast, dominant at the moment.

We'll see what happens on hards but not looking that good. If Max ends up ahead, at least let's hope for Ferrari 1-2 to minimize point loss.
Nah, they're a second off the pace, this is not tire management. Car is quite shocking here for some reason.
Looks like pace is slightly improving, matching or slightly faster than VER/SAI now. Both McLarens doing same laptimes and improving compared to others. Maybe they will be faster when lighter?

Looks like they will attempt a one stop. Telling Oscar Plan A target +5.

I'm not sure we can save it now. It might be late unless a safety car changes things. Unless we play the game with 1 pit stop less.

Maybe so, but what does that say about him as a competitor, it’s really easy to win a race when you crash into the other 19 cars
