A little slower reaction time than Piastri at the start. He ended up going off track at turn 1 fighting with Piastri for the lead, which dropped him to 4th.

Then Redbull had a terrible release that resulted in Max hitting Kimi in the pit lane and caused Kimi to miss his box when he was pitting for slicks (nothing Kimi could have done). Completely screwed his race. 

The guy does nothing wrong,  actually does an incredible job of not crashing both of them out after the Red Bull fuck up and it ends up costing him. Not as bad as Fernando, but there has to be some way to penalize the perps far worse than 5 or 10 seconds when you completely fuck over someone's race due to your (or your team's ) dumbarse decision.

Particularly when you consider that if Kimi hadn’t reacted so well his car could have been punted into his pit crew.

You mean like finishing last after the time penalty?

It's a million percent a team mistake not his.

My comment wasn't directed at Max as he did what he was directed, but the pit crew and Lawson.

I wonder if the penalty would have been more substantial had Red Bull torpedoed someone else's race on a Sunday, rather than a Sprint. Normally, 10 seconds for the guys running near the front is just 2-3 positions for races that don't finish behind a safety car.

Now, now, I think we're all just jealous that our father's never funded our multi-billion dollar hobbies. I'll never forgive my dad for not building me a spaceship to take to the moon.

What did Williams do to become more competitive?

I read they’re devoting their resources to the 2026 car. So the current car is basically the same as last year’s right?

I have no clue, but I'm absolutely loving it!  I'm a HUGE Albon guy, if only for him helping me get my Asian nephew into F1 and giving us something to bond over.  I also think he got the short straw at RBR when he was doing as well as could be expected.  Love that Carlos is getting a chance to shine as well after losing his seat at Ferrari simply because Lewis wanted it.  Really like Williams when I first started getting into F1 heavy (when COTA showed up) and it was Massa and Bottas in the Martini livery, so I'm thrilled to see them back in the fight to be the best of the rest this year.

Lando acting like they don't have the best car while he passes drivers like it's Hamilton in 21 Brazil 🙄

On lap 24 the announcers said McLaren were a second a lap faster than anyone in the field.

Charles frustrated behind Lewis. They should
Have swapped them as soon as they got passed Carlos. They burned up Lewis’ tires. Now both Ferraris are screwed.

The rest of the teams are praying the changes on the front wings do truly impact McLaren because no one is close to that car right now.

Oscar doesn't seemed fazed at all by Max. Watched, learned, set him up for the pass while Lando just about breaks out in hives if he gets near Max on the track.

Oscar is a legit Iceman.  Not sure I've heard a change in tone from him, ever.  Dude just puts his head down and gets on with it.

Amazing turn around for McLaren, especially when you consider that in 2023 at Miam Lando finished 17th in the race and was over 87 seconds off Max and Oscar finished 19th between Nick DeVries and Logan Sargent,

I absolutely think they are crossing the line on something. No inside info obviously but for no one to be close and no one to figure out how they are doing this after a year is incredible.

Brawn in his book talks about finding a reg that you interpret a certain way to gain an advantage  and you keep pushing that advantage until they finally take it away from you.  

I can't remember the exact wording he uses, but he fully acknowledges they weren't afraid to work in the grey areas.
