at 1.20 why bother

Lots of sand/dust on the track...
makes the track slippery!

The bookies don't want to lose out for an almost dead cert so make it not worth betting on Max with such little winnings or they'd lose a packet with higher fixed odds.

17 is still a kid mate ! And that will never happen again in the F1 history .

When he was 18 , he had to return to Belgium (20 min. from my place) to do his theory exam and practical driving test.
And so he got his 'Belgian driver license .

BTW : MAX didn't got a 'given opportunity . He had to prove himself first in several Red Bull test run sessions against the chrono..
MAX had to be extremely fast , and only then he got his F1 entrance in the shitty Toro Rosso car ..
His second F1 race was the Malaysia GP (2015 March 29) , he ran P7 and took his first WDC points in the shitty Toro Rosso car !

Yes he was 17 yrs old who has a professional racer as a father and spent years racing.

I mean I get it but we can't discount the impact his life circumstances had on his development.

Look at the career of Mick Schumacher for example. How would his career be different if his father were around? Would have been aa good as Max?

M5Rick · 10-06-2023, 12:26 PM

I believe PIA is down to sixth which moves LEC up to fifth.
