My sister likes him lol. Also likes Oscar though, so there's that. I absolutely respect the guys driving ability but liking him is a completely different thing.

I’ve been on Red Bull since the Webber days and love Max. He’s an out and out aggressive driver who’s in it to win it. Easily the best driver in the paddock the last few years. Having said that, how can you not back the Aussie? Oscar is improving at a rate of knots and looks a certainty to be number one before too long.

Don't say I Didn't tell you but what Piastri did at Abu Dhabi last year is why Max didn't approach T1 at Saudi more aggressive and tried to bump wheels, Max is definitely more cautious of Oscar than Norris after that.
He knows the Aussie doesn't back down no matter what, even if he looks harmless outside racing, there is a ruthless savage underneath that helmet.

Yeah you can see why he is so highly rated, he’s been getting better and better. Seems a really likeable kid too.

The kid has arrived! Interesting to hear him say he was actually struggling and not managing the hard tyres. I'm not sure if he is foxing but he seems to be pretty honest. The championship is clearly his for the taking now, pretty exciting.

It hasn’t been this way on every track though.

Sure, but they're also 1 and 2 even on tracks not perfectly suited to them.
Gotta be a tyre heat thing, because on the hot tracks they have absolutely dominated like today.
If they streak away even more, teams are just going to turn focus to 26.

True but good on McLaren for not only catching Red Bull but going beyond them.
It certainly helps to have an Aussie driver benefitting of course.

That's a shame but not surprising, he isn't performing. Still not sure what Lawson has done to earn such a long shot.

They didn't help Lawson by not giving him doing the full pre season with the RB which he should have been with Yuki at Redbull, the whole thing is run by idiots tbh.
Redbull will struggle to get cream of the crop young talent with bs like this in the future, and if Max leaves I can easily see the team turning to crap especially since Newey the best designer argubly in F1 history gone to Aston, I see the team entering a decline period.

Yindeed. He wins here, it is going to be hard for anyone to catch him. Too much confidence.
