I hope Max dominates and Lewis benefits from a late safety car.
Sounds like a recipe for a particularly nasty crash to be honest. Hopefully, Hamilton will just drive away with Russell as rear gunner.

I'm not sure why he acts like this with Lewis. It's what happened at Copse in 2021. Verstappen was expecting Hamilton to roll over as he had on every other occasion that year. When he didn't and hit the barrier and saw Hamilton celebrating vigorously after winning that was it. Bullies hate a taste ...

Re: Perez's Monaco Qualifying Crash

Perez was tiddled that in Spain he didn't get the rub of the green. He has been the most loyal and helpful number 2 in living memory and he wanted a backsie. Instead the team made it clear that his drive and his paycheck are his compensation and that he's there to lose to Max and beat Max's opponents.

I made an error when I said 6 but 5/16 is 69% which is closer to 66% than 75%. It's really stingy to not give Emilia Romagna to Bottas, without the debris Hamilton do...

Winners by starting grid slot:

P2: 2017 (Verstappen), 2018 (Verstappen).
P3: 2019 (Hamilton), 2021 (Verstappen).

Therefore, Perez will win from P4 as will the driver in that slot for the 2023 Mexico City Grand Prix!
