McLaren doesn't need to have the fastest car to win the race.
As I said : They win the race with the tires because they last forever by the the tire / brake cooling trick.
Even in the dirty air , they just wait until MAX's tires are gone and then they overtake at the right moment in the race (like cherry picking)!
2 more laps in the sprint race , and Piastri won the sprint race because MAX's tires were almost gone while Piastri's tires were still fine.
15 laps pushed Piastri with a 0.5/0.8 sec. gap behind MAX (in the dirty air)!
If MAX ran with a McLaren , the 2025 WDC would already have been over ..
