Max is just a better, more focussed driver. He makes less mistakes and when he races he's at 100% all of the time.
The way he cut through the field at the Miami GP was awesome to see. Compare that with now Checo cut through the field in the spanish gp, and that just looked very slow and sluggish. It took him ages to get past some of the drivers where Max needed no more than one or two corners to outmanouvre the same drivers. (ALO for example)
The fallout with Max over the '22 Monaco quali affair has impacted on Checo and with his foolish Monaco crash now while under no pressure from anyone then adding insult to injury having the floor of the car seen by the challenging teams when being winched up would have me as manager giving him his cards and handing Ricciardo the drive.
