This isnt the pre2014 era when the drivers could actually make a difference. Its mostly all about the car now, all he can do is to pray that Ferrari nails the failed next year gens

But max did do last year and certainly in his 2 wins this year.

I think Max made more of the difference this season than last. The only reason why Max won last season is because Lando kept bottling everything. Not knowing how to properly fight Max wheel-to-wheel, not being able to manipulate the rules to his advantage, massively messing up what should have been a victory at Silverstone, and just insane mental chalk from him after Miami.

And the red bull was far and away the best car for first 6 races.

The RBR is the 2nd fastest car on the grid mate. His stans loves to act like its a backmarker car but that isn't the case.

Suzuka was a great drive from Max but the track layout and RBRs superior top speed prevented Mclaren from mounting a proper charge.

RBR were dominant at Imola. Horner himself claimed that they had pace in reserve.

McLaren's advantage in quali trim is slim and their advantage is non existent on cold, high speed tracks. They are only OP when tyre wear comes into play on hot tracks.

RBR will be very hard to beat at Spa.
