growing fond of this RB duo, Checo seems really likable and Max is just pure blood pumping entertainment
It was also a pyrrhic victory with Leclerc breaking. Was funny for a lap but ultimately robbed us of another potential points leader clash with Max.
I thought he was going to need a safety car to make it stick after having to pit so early. Really impressive.
I get Checo being frustrated with team orders in this race. Gotta give him a “win” of any sort now and again.
would have liked to see max v checo for a few laps. But I get the hesitation. Car is made of glass, max lec close in points, Ferrari and RB close in points too. No need to risk it
Same. I get why they don't do it, but the end of the race would have been much better if they did. Feel bad for Checo.
I understand that perspective and the fact that it’s reality. I’d also think Max and Horner would have some sporting appreciation for what Checo does and has done for Max. Maybe later in the season. Maybe that’s a quality of all the multi champion drivers - there’s never a situation where conceding to their teammate is acceptable. I see it both ways and don’t have a problem with it per se. I do think Checo is a highly complimentary driver to Max’s style and keeping him happy might benefit Max throughout a season more than 7 points in a race.
Hard to feel bad for checo. He is living his best life. Moving to red bull has been incredible for his career
I just can't see Checo pulling any chickenshit moves out of spite. Probably why we will never see Max or RB pass up an opportunity to take advantage of Checo
