Crazy lap from Mad max..

GuidoK · 04-05-2025, 02:10 AM

Wow what a lap from Max!!!
Out of nowhere he just delivers!
This is the Max factor....

And Max is very happy with it. So is the team. Totally unexpected.

lap of the gods

looks exactly like a Schumacher lap, they rotate the car with the throttle not the steering wheel

///M Power-Belgium · 04-05-2025, 02:11 AM

Jesus Christ !!! What a banker lap from MAX !!!

Artemis · 04-05-2025, 02:12 AM

Golden quali lap for Verstappen.

Suzuka lap record. Incredible.

I said to you my friend, those missing slots from the Laren rear wings gets the Lion closer to its prey.

M5Rick · 04-05-2025, 02:17 AM

Jesus Christ, that's Jason Bourne. NO! It's MAX MAX super MAX.

Davil · 04-05-2025, 02:18 AM

“All class Max. All class.” What a freak. Remarkable.

Oscar 2 & 3 purple. Unfortunately 1 was brown. I agree with the CC. First word is Canadian next rhymes with Hunt. Oscar is so close to greatness but consistency though improving every race is not there… yet.

We are talking hundredths from 1 to 3. Hundredths. Then the rest.

Tadger to RB in a fortnight. Everyone needs a Tadger crushing belt to up the intensity.

The Lions heart is burning more for that Suzuka win, just hope Wache can do something to keep MAX's tires cool as well.

Damn those Larens they'll be hanging on to the coat tails so RB better work out a perfect strat for MAX.

They are consistent but without those rear wing gaps now they'll be that bit slower.

NOR was sliding quite a bit putting his papaya in purple and even going off the track, I'm thinking the Larens may have reached the end of their pace allowance now.

Anyone for porridge now ..

Piastri emphasized the prime importance of getting pole position at Suzuka as follows:
"Clean air is king".

Most Suzuka race winners started on the front row.

The McLarens must get past Verstappen during the first lap. If Verstappen manages to get a good start, there will be a dangerous close combat between Norris and Piastri during the first lap(s).

But the race could also be entertained by rain, crashes and burning grass.
