11-4 for Max Verstappen in Q

I will just leave it here......
And look where he is in the points... to finish first (in points), first you must finish.
Exactly, naked statistics just don't like Max.
So, if it is all about statistics, Senna was a mediocre driver in front of Schumacher. That is just the reality.

Bring fast is one thing, but you need to finish races without causing or being involved in collisions.

Max doesn't always cause his accidents, but part of the problem is other drivers don't trust him the way they trust Hamilton, Alonso and Ricciardo.

Today should be the day we see Kimi winning this GP. I am pretty sure he wont have such a good chance again in a while. Theoretically(because I dont believe what we see on Fridays after Singapur) the Red Bulls and Kimi have a pace advantage over Mercedes so Kimi should win this one. It will be interesting to see what happens with Verstappen. It should be a great race.

If rain hits the race midway, it will rarely favor the guy driving in front. Risk takers will benefit....

Also: How sure will we be that it will be a fair fight between Kimi and Lewis?
Not for nothing, Rosberg's Championship is the only thing that lends credibility to Hamilton's recent success. Otherwise, he'd just be the guy who's had the best car. — bhall II

And then you remember that Max got 10 points for his performance in Hungary.

Just heard the part of grid HAM and VER start is more damp then RAI. Are teams drying up the track underneath the cars for the initial take-off which influences wheel slip significantly...
