Unfortunately, Stroll is costing AM in the P2 battle.

Yeah I was mightily impressed with Max getting a nice lead over Checo, but then I saw the 80 point gap between Nando and the nepotism baby.
Not sure how long Lawrence can keep this going before the other AM stakeholders and the team leadership start wearing him down.

Something I forgot to mention yesterday is that the above WCC standings in reverse will be the order for wind tunnel-CFD time allocations over the next six months, given the Canadian GP is the last before June-end/July-beginning for the second consecutive year.
Ironically, Albon’s points mean Williams won’t have the most anymore, albeit still a lot with only a single team having more overall.

If it wasn’t for Verstappen driving that RB, we would be talking about Alonso’s second 2012 season.

I believe Perez has been taking off the championship fight deliberately because it was already causing a lot of tension

I think Perez raced the best races of his life in the opening 5 rounds… after that, he’s back to his usual form. He never was a championship contending driver, so I’m surprised at why fans thought he would give Verstappen a fight. He’s a solid number #2.. like Bottas and Sainz level.. nothing more.

Please stop with the “gap to leader” column, it’s beyond silly.

I get the impression Ferrari consider Charles (54 points) to be their Number 1 driver, and their best hope of beating Max, and that Carlos (68 points) is their Number 2 driver. Why else would they want Carlos to remain behind Charles and not overtake him?
