Whew that was close as PIA drew right onto MAX but MAX is now 1.5 seconds clear.

Verstappen getting pole position in Saudi Arabia yesterday: PIF saw that too, no doubt about that. Maybe, if he manages to win at Jeddah tonight, PIF could further raise the stakes to finally shake off any Mercedes bid: also Jim Ratcliffe (INEOS) hunts to get Verstappen on board at Mercedes. Russell hasn't gotten a Mercedes contract extension yet because he's in the waiting room for whatever Verstappen decides.

Once PIF will have written Lawrence Stroll a big check to get the Aston Martin team, Lance Stroll's F1 days will be over.

He will have to make up for that 5 second penalty first

MAX a 5 sec. penalty ? : MAX : Well...That's lovely !!!

Too bad for YUKI !!!

GuidoK · 04-20-2025, 12:16 PM

The McLaren is for sure the faster car.
PIA easily closes the gap and drives away from RUS no problems

Within 10 laps , MAX's tyres will be gone . But the McLaren tyres will last forever even behind MAX in the dirty air ..

Lets hope that he then at least can clear RUS in an undercut.
Until the new rear wing regulations it's mainly damage control for Max.
