Yeah and in post race interview he said Red Bullโs strategy โwas not talent just luckโ. Come on dude why so salty.
It is though? I am in no way disregarding Max's drive, he was brilliant today, but the interview question was specifically about the VSC and red flag, which is 100% luck. Red Bull and Alpine got a free tyre change while every other team lost time and positions for the pit stop.
Plenty of stuff the FIA should fix after this race. They should change the rules to not allow modifications to the car during a red flag in the future for a start.
Edit: You can hear what the interviewer asked here. I don't think he's commenting on Max's drive, just pit strategy. He also did acknowledge the mistakes he made during the race, so there's that.
The VSC was luck. Pitting neither under the VSC nor under the safety car was a strategic call. Red bull and Alpine both made an educated guess based on the amount rain that there is a high possibility for a red flag. It was lucky but there was plenty of strategy involved. Also all three of them drove brilliantly to put themselves in a position to capitalise. Remember Colapinto binned it on fresh inters while max, ocon and gasly kept it on the track on ~~won't~~ worn inters. Saying it was 100% luck is doing a disservice to all 3 of them and their teams
I see your point. I'm absolutely not saying that the drivers and the team did not do a good job, I'm merely saying that the coin flip was lucky. I can see why the teams thought a red flag would be possible if you put it this way. It still is a guess though, and no red flag could still be possible if it weren't for Colapintos crash, under a safety car no less.
Luck yes. Making most of a lucky break - talent
Yeah? The afterwards wasn't the point though.
I mean his team royally fucked him lol I'd be salty too
