but Max says otherwise ? (at least he says he's better than Horner since the scandal)

"I think the last one and a half years have not gone how we would have liked, and management decided they wanted to steer the ship in a different direction, probably. And then everyone else of course has to anyway agree to that and look forward," he said.

"Looking back doesn't make sense. It's not going to make you faster. But at the same time you do appreciate of course those 20 years, and especially from my side the 10-11 years I've been part of of Red Bull."

“I’m looking forward to working closely with Laurent.”

Transmission / Brake issues he was complaining about it in FP1. I still think there is a chance for a good race tomorrow and Sunday.

nothing really happened.

everybody was waiting for everybody to be the first to start the one lap as that's all you can do on the single softs you're allowed

in the end Lando gave up and came out, and the entire top 10 followed him into a slipstream train

he didn't want to give Max a tow so he maxed out his pace on the out lap and used up all his tires and had no tires for the fast lap. Piastri may or may not have benefited from Max slipstream. but certainly Max had nobody to tow him and that was the result.

not sure what happened with the rest of the cars I didn't pay attention.

Sunny weather and no wind for the sprint race . Perfect

FORMATION LAP (!)

[///M Power-Belgium]

Gasly starts from the pitlane ..

[///M Power-Belgium]

Sprint race :

1- max
2- piastri
3- charlie
4- norris
5- ocon

[GuidoK]

What an interesting setup from Max here (and yesterday in the quali)
By the looks of it the low drag setup is fast enough to keep in front of PIA with DRS.

But it'll be interesting to see what tyrewear will do.

[///M Power-Belgium]

LAP 8/15 :

1- MAX (gap is 0.6)
2 -PIASTRI
3- NORRIS
4- CHARLIE
5- OCON

[GuidoK]

Of course Max is no competitor for PIA, so I reckon that PIA is looking more to NOR if he's smart....
Last race he made that mistake and it cost him.....

LAP 11/15 : The McLaren tire cooling advantage is showing up...

Can Norris attack Piastri ?

[///M Power-Belgium]

Sprint race podium :

1- MAX
2- PIASTRI
3- NORRIS

[GuidoK]

And Max wins!
Very good drive and tactical chosen setup!

And what a bad result for team Merc!
