He'll never get MAX, Silverstone '21 is long forgotten by Wolff but not MAX,
..and he can't have lapdog Val back as already signed for Caddy

Ferrari must be rueing Mekies' departure from them now, with RBR coming on song with him in charge at RBR, this Monza win absolutely crushing Laren.
Ferrari on the whole are a complex set up with unknown others having too much say in the building of the car hence Charlies frustration as they won't even listen to him in what would be better.

Spot on . The RB21 Monza upgrade was a MAX design .

No let up for the demand for MAX as soon as he's available, with that fastest lap outright at the Ring after only 3 laps is it any wonder everyone wants him

I think it's improbably to see Max win his 5th in a row (then again it's only happened once in history) but you truly never know. Maybe a combo of the above, a few mishaps, and some engine failures and it happens. If they lose this WDC it will be the biggest flop in F1 history.

Lando has two DNF's this year (one his fault, one not). Piastri has none. The fight could swing at any weekend and then maybe we'll see them get their elbows out a little more.

Highly doubt they'll end up anything but 1-2 in the WDC.

my condolences. i work in the delivery suite every so often, these things shouldn't happen in the first world, but the NHS is something else. basically you have 2 healthy people doing normal healthy things. SMH ...

without knowing too much (eg was there underlying health issue), i'm not surprised if it's a health system failure.

but that's not important now, my condolences.

i can see Piastri getting his elbows out, even Max is vary of him. Norris, i can't see. last time out he was ushered into the grass. either way, i don't see them crashing in spite, they are not that type of people.

I feel like Canada had the two of them with their elbows out, and the obvious mistake from Lando creating his first DNF with only 3 laps to go...

Fair point, from my point of view Lando tried to get his elbows out but didn't quite pull it off, ie he tries to get his elbows out, but not quite achieving it. Maybe of he tries more he'll achieve in eventually, but I haven't seen it... Yet...

It appears to be a true post on X but...
Zak Brown, CEO of McLaren Racing, didn't post it.
Zac Brown, front man of "The Zac Brown Band", didn't post it either.
Zach Brown did (whoever he is).

MAX's tyres looked terrible and completely gone.
The Papaya's ran 45 laps without pitting.
Red Bull has not the brake and tyres cooling trick.

RBR still beat them by a country mile and MAX will flatten them again at Baku, with the longest straight NOR and PIA s#it scared
