Max is untouchable right now, only thing everyone else can do is be hopeful for some serious progress in the offseason.
I'm a McLaren fan through and through, so it was nice to see a little life out of Danny Ric. You could tell that everyone, including himself, just kept thinking "what could've been?" if he was more on it these last 2 years.
Yeah not sure why that went so wrong, something just didn't click. Hopefully it's not the last of him.
Lando said his issue is that the Mclarens are a lot more different to drive and that Danny struggled to get his head around the cars dynamics...my guess is the new regulations fucked over a lot of teams this year who just couldn't get the engineering right. Ferrari seems to have had the car this year but management blew it, you could see the jump in performance Sainz had going from mclaren to ferrari.
Yeah, Danny was good with Redbulls, because that car suited him the best. When he did the 2 year with Renault, it all started coming together by the end of the stint. I feel like if he stuck with them, when they turned to Alpine, he would have had better luck, Mclaren was a big misstep.
And as for Ferarri, they had the concept of the new car dialed in the beginning, but I feel like they got stuck in that place, while Redbull worked on reliability, which was an issue in the begining of the season, amd also Mercedes did a hig step forward, they were terribly lost at the start. Next year should be Merc vs Redbull again, if Ferarri cant pull it together. They need to change the team bosses, starting with Binotto. Either that, or they need the drivers to step up, and be more alpha, not just nod their heads to terible strategies. Ferarri basically needs a Gigachad driver like Kimi, Alonso, or Schumi to put them back into place, now they are juet a bunch of crazy italians running around. No disrespect to Italians, I love all of you crazy fuckers.
