So , don't know why MAX wouldn't try it ?

As I said : MAX had nothing to lose in this race as the 2024 World Champion => https://www.m3post.com/forums/showth...1#post31691691

According to the legend..
PIA probably hasn't read up on some of the things that legend Senna had said.

Piastri is a great driver , he has great speed and pace in his Papaya car .
But in the fights , he usally s@cks .

But hey ! Congrats for the McLaren Team to win the 2024 WCC !
On the other hand : They had the car to do it and with 2 drivers to score , and not like Red Bull with just 1 driver ..

For the Mexican KitKat man : Just go home man , and leave your seat for a real driver (!)

Pia is super overrated by the forum. Lando is just ok, and he can't even keep pace with him.

Russell is better than both.

PIA as with some that MAX challenges are at times half asleep and it's not just driving as quick as you can but knowing what the situation is to the side and behind you. That said, MAX's 360 after that and hitting the ground still running are what legends are made of

Agree to a point, he's 'running in please pass' material still a bit fresh off the drivers queue but starting behind Lando he didn't figure > Max .

Taking nothing away from McLaren, they got the CC fair and square after 26 years but compared to MAX's '21 show stopper it was a bit of a damp squib overall..shall I

Shame about Checo, wasn't his fault in any way whatsoever getting mugged trying to keep out of trouble and torpedo Bottas was hitting not only him but Haas also later obviously upset he hasn't secured a drive not scoring a single point.

I'm sure Ferrari can at least sneak HAM a steering wheel since the #EvilEmpire won't release him.

Sad that Ham ends his career at MB needing his teammate to let him by LOL.

Without the Max and Pia incident, Ham would have been lucky to be 6th. I also think without the incident Max would have had a strong chance to win the race despite having a car that was not as fast as the McLaren.

Will be an interesting 90 or so days. With the way the testing restrictions are going to shuffle will McLaren and Ferrari to able to develop or will they stall out and head to bounce land? RB has a lot of pace to find whereas the others may not.
