No kidding, this would have been an easy win for him on such a slick track. He lost parts of his floor around lap 20-22, I think there was a radio message. Crazy to see how the floor made that much difference, I think there were a few out there who did the entire race on damage wings.
edit: In all honesty, I loved seeing Max v/ Mick, even though I was so scared for Mick, because we all know how Max drives with elbows out when he feels threatened.
Max also went thru the wringer this week with all the racism things from Piquet's comment (then his defence of the comment), then GF's uncle's Insta post that Kelly liked. Then the shit with his dad. I gained a lot more respect for him this week because of how he kept his cool with all the shit flying around.
Also gained like x100 respect for Russell, sacrificed his race to ensure that Zhou was safe before he left his side. Dude is an absolute legend for this. I'm sure he will hear about it in the briefings, but apparently its a trait of his, he had done this in Karting as well.
