Some comments from Liam Lawson...before the door shut.
"I wouldn't be happy to go back to being reserve. Obviously, I know how hard it is to get into Formula 1 and I understand that that can be really difficult sometimes."
"I'm just trying to make the most of this."
"But I guess the message for me has just been to keep my head down now and try and keep delivering."
"Obviously, I want to be in Formula 1. Now I have this chance, I'm trying to do everything I can to show that I can be here."

^ The race at 53 laps would mean around a 30 second gap time for Max at the winning flag to the second car with the pace advantage, hope Checo can beat some b@tts as the fuel load lightens and move up through the ones in front of him.

Piastri : P2 means , I just have to overtake one car.
MAX : P2 means , It's the first loser.

I was going to say, Pia has a very similar short/concise corner driver to Max. That is why Max is so fast and why Pia is quicker than Lando on many occasions despite being a rookie and less versed in the car. I think he is their future. The question will be, does Lando stick around or run like Ric did?

Gianpiero Lambiase told MAX that a 1.28 was possible. Horner heard them talking about it and already warned them that he would like the car back with 4 wheels attached !
MAX went out and improved on his first amazing Q3 lap to simply reply :

"There you go: 1.28" !

Lando will stay at McLaren .
The 2023 McLaren MCL60 improved a lot , this car is extremely fast in the fast corners ..
The MCL60 is currently faster than the Merc's !

Lando would only move if he could be teammates with MAX ...

For the race in a few hours, I think if the Mclarens decide to fight corner one, max is going to let them through and overtake using DRS and drive off into the distance.

I think he's going to go MED, HARD, MED.

Softs are at the end if there's a safety car or red flag.

GuidoK · 09-23-2023, 10:32 PM

Thats my guess too.
I wonder if one of the mclarens will start on softs...

I don't think so . MAX has a new HONDA PU with fresh ponies ..

The McLaren's won't see him back after turn 1
