Even crazier is he got it pointed in the right direction so fast then slammed on the accelerator. No one hit him from behind.

Wollf's Benz loopholes and cheating PU tricks are gone now (!)

That's why (!) As you can read ...
Mercedes never sold "second tier" engines for McLaren, Williams, and Alpine. It's a myth created by sugar beverage fans. McLaren has improved because of changes to the car, not the engine. The engine was always great.

Stop whining - this is the best racing action in years !
I have to agree, it was an awesome race. And I stand by my words that I think this will prove to be the greatest formula we've had in 12 years.

Now imagine this, but with a N/A V8 soundtrack :D And the power balance moved more towards the engine so it's not 50/50, and completely removing the overtake button ;)

Neither the turbo or the V6 is necessary anymore since the fuel is Greta Thunberg approved anyway :D

I think it's going to even out now between those two and it's way too early to say who will go on to be World Champ, MAX is getting better by the minute and you know how he likes hunting down those in front of him :D

MAX a few inches over a line with one tyre that wasn't fully over the line, stewards have become pickety witches but at least he keeps his well earned points as HAM was well behind.

Negative (!)

The myth is created by the Italian McLaren team principal Andrea Stella.

At Montreal Merc will be getting more updates, after being told to remove battery 'tricks' and other things it begs the question of what if anything they actually removed for Miami, lets remember that Rao has been brought back a while back now to serve as Ben's advisor.

Kimi was not catching Lando when the McLaren was ahead.

but their strategy team is the same team that nearly gave 100 points to Max in a slower car last year.

and gave the win to Mercedes.

Looking forward to Montreal's "brake killer" Circuit Giles Villeneuve where the straights are "just long enough to allow high terminal speeds, but not long enough to give the brakes enough time to cool before they are needed again". It could really suit this new formula from the standpoint of good battery regeneration.
Also pleased to hear McLaren's Stella say more upgrades are coming for Canada.
