Why Lewis? Max/RBR are the ones you should thank for making a racer of it. Lewis is the defending champ in the best car, best package miles ahead of the rest. Even now, that Merc is lightyears ahead in refinement. Given how fast it is in a straight line and who knows what secret tweaks Merc have in an engine they've perfected for so many years? Whenever they're down on speed they seem to miraculously get a new 'component' and it bumps up the revs.

@@mago97615 I think the opposite tbh, Merc pulled the strat right imo, they have boxed RBR and Max into a similar situation several times before and by a simple pit stop regained control of the situation.

We all hear of drives where the leader is quickly losing time to the driver behind him and still comes out on top, Alonso at Singapore in 2010 comes to mind.

Hamilton tried his best…well bye bye…Can’t beat better one…let’s get some new toys from Mercedes to make car quicker …Max gotta win this otherwise..goodbye justice and sport

[@_Trixie]

that moment when max went by like a rocket during hamilton's pitstop was such a nice shot by the camera team and you dindn't include it in this video :(

[@Vladi48mir]

What was scary was how calm and chilled out Max looked post race after that tense battle while Lewis was sweating floods and looked visibly worn out.....get ready for the future now...we got a complete machine of speed in Max on the comeup

[@alastor1052]

He was steady as a rock indeed, yet I saw visible relief when he pulled up that visor during the cooldown lap

[@V12F1Demon]

This is Merc. These guys have hidden tricks up their sleeves given how long they've refined and perfected this engine. Just wait and watch how they 'suddenly' get faster!

[@sakulhd8189]

@@alastor1052 Yeah its not often that we saw max like that this year. I think he realized how important this win was today

@@V12F1Demon they're just perpetually sand-bagging, up till the last few laps of each race.

@@V12F1Demon nah, the hard tires just suited them better. A car setup is that precise.
