MAYBE Russell and Charles, but the rest are basically mid level drivers, I can't see them standing out in any era.
As a Charlie fan Ham and Max worry me most in general.

Norris and Pia will only give me heartburn if McLaren still has the best car.
I think the McLaren Flexi-wing doesn't get axed till mid-season

Not b/c of mayo chips lol but unfair taxation and lack of representation in Parliament, sounds familiar over here right now.

MAX's new Falcon 'bird with a range of 11,975 KM looks fantastic (!)

This is true, and at his peak he wasn’t even as good as Max has been in the last few years and Max is nowhere near his peak yet. The talent that has come in the last 7 years since Max and Lec came on and the subsequent group with them, are easily the most talented we have seen since 2005. The talent pool in those years between 2005 and 2016 was nowhere near the level of where the sun 30 year old drivers are today.

Max has been just ok last year, and there was nothing special about 2023 when Mediocre Perez took second over everyone. 2022 was his only legitimate win and it came with a dominant car.

If 2024 is any indication, Max peak is past him and it wasn’t that impressive to be honest.

That’s with fish & chips. So good. Lots of salt and vinegar. Mmmm. Now I’m hungry.

Mayo is for weirdos.

Not as much as you think, so do you use ketchup on your fries instead of mayo in your land of windmills
