Re: Max is Out-Performing Daniel (Believe it or Not)
I think it's becoming obvious Dan is outperforming max everywhere right now outside of Qualifying and wet races.
No shame in that though, Dan is in beast mode right now. and Max has many years to improve.

Re: Max is Out-Performing Daniel (Believe it or Not)
Driver's go through form patches with qualy pace.
Just because Max has been the better performer on saturdays for half a season doesn't mean it will always be that way.

Motor racing is dangerous. It is part of it's charm. It is why corners such as Eau Rouge & 130R hold such prestige and fame.
We are in danger of crossing a line here with cockpit protection that will, imo, eventually lead to the drivers wearing VR headsets with a wheel & pedals in the pits.
