Entering T1 , MAX was still P1 . Too bad for MAX ,but there was no other way for him on the outside.
MAX avoided a collision and got a 5 sec. penalty (!)
MAX : It is what it is ...

Once those penalty points are off Max is going to teach Pia a lesson and Pia will never try that again. I thought Pia definitely went a bit far in his tactic to push Max off as he didnt leave even half a car's width. Even so, if not for that penalty, Pia in a MUCH faster car wouldnt have won. Crazy that your car can be that fast but a single driver can make up that difference. Just imagine how fast the Mclaren would be if Max was driving it.
It does seem like RB are on the right trajectory in terms of pace and tire wear. If they can copy the design of the Mclaren wheels and the impact of the flexi clamp down (RB was absolutely the best before flexi cheat wings) should turn this WDC on its head. Max winning 5 or 6 in a row with some Mclaren swapping results and DNFs from Mclaren will make an impact.
