Well done Max.

4th in 2018 championship and only 2 points away from 3rd.

Not bad for the 3rd best car of the season.

Hope he continues to learn and challenge not sure if an Engine change is going to help too much judging by Torro Rosso today.

Is he really.

Still not completly his fault with the finest role model for a father...
Yes he is and I for one am glad he did not get his name in the record books this weekend.

He’s probably really disappointed by that..... rolleyes

It would have been a rather dull race without him today. Not for the first time.

What did he do in the race that made it so exciting, apart from bumping into a couple of other cars as he passed them?

After seeing the axe throwing video he probably is, the talent is not in question you just require more than that nowadays.

Yes, he must have been wondering why RBR were changing engine supplier - to finish 1st, first you've got to finish!

If you can't get Mercedes or Ferrari power it's better to have something down on power that will at least finish. laugh

Let's wait and see how the Red Bull performs with the Honda engine.
Like Mclaren they have a reputation of taking the "aero over everything" approach so history would suggest they will over-package, leading to similar numbers of power unit failures to Mclaren/more than Toro Rosso will have with the same engine next season.

Not if you want to have a chance of winning, it’s not.

+1
MV was P9 on first lap and clawing his way through to P3 was slightly more interesting than the other drivers at work.

For dullness we can always rely on Bottas.

Curious they handed Alonso a 5 second penalty but not Bottas for identical moves

The only reason that RBR and Honda are getting together is because literally nobody else wanted to work with either of them. It might be all smiles now, but how long will it be before Horner, Marko or Max publicly slag them off, like they do almost every weekend to Renault?

Bottas slowed down slightly in the following sector to allow Max to catch straight back up to him. Alonso went flat out over the runoff three laps in a row in an effort to catch up to the Haas.

Let's be honest, if you were Ferrari or Mercedes would you really want to supply RBR with your own PU ?

Thats because VB slowed down after cutting, and therefore did not create an advantage, where FA went purple by 4/5 tenths on the sector, and did it 3 times, so 15 seconds in penalties in all.
