In the off track soap opera that is F1 it is good to have villains up and down the grid, and like it or not he has been cast as one. I do wonder at what point in the future that entertainment becomes more important than actual racing and F1 becomes more like professional wrestling than an actual sport?

That is correct .

MAX just knows it as it comes to a new PU development , then Mercedes is always unbeatable.
I would put all my money at the 2026 Mercedes PU , It's a beast in the making (!)

Proof that Nor and Pia are all car. Dunne jumps in with no experience and essentially matches them with ease. Max would slaughter them in that car.
