    Max probably wishing the crowd at the podium ceremony to have a “nice evening in their houses” again. Mexico will probably be even worse.

      Never understood how you are able to boo to any sportsman or woman. They just did something you’ll not be able to achieve in a zillion years and what do you decide to do? Give the most childish respons possible. The thought processes of some people smh.

    That was a funny race, I think mainly to the problems Max had with the brakes and also due to his mistake in qualifying, but still, it was nice to see a bit of uncertainty with the strategies.

      Tost said that his brake duct broke off some time during his first stint, which lost him a lot of downforce and upset the balance of the car.

      Bad strategy choice. Looked like he was going for a one stop. He was the last to pit for new tyres after a long first stint. Not sure if his switch to softs at the end was an attempt to salvage something, but by then the damage was done.
