Part 1: Max year 1 vs Kimi. Part 2: Toto's dream decision???

would you want George and Max on the same team?

 

That depends:

1) Design a car around Max's preference thereby anyone else such as a team-mate becomes "inferior" and would be lacking in the points.

2) Design a car around Russell's preference.

In this case, most would go with the multi-WDC title holder's preference regarding car design.

However, both Russell and Antonelli are achieving points with the current car setup.

So it's really a "catch-22" situation when Max is involved as a team-mate.

 

I was talking more about the ongoing beef between Max and Smug. I see that being a disaster

 

Caliber of car driven is very different, the Merc being a much quicker car relative to the competition vs Max's Toro Rosso, also sheer scale of Mercedes and it's enormous resources are incomparable.

Max came of a single season of F3 and had very little chance to prepare for F1. He did all his learning on the fly, really. Max's 2nd quali/race already showed his immense talent. Max needed some fine tuning which was resolved by 2018 Monaco when he learned that not every session do you need to give 100%. By going 100% everywhere and every time he certainly ruffled some feathers but it made him who he is.

That said, I'm impressed with Kimi Antonelli. Super nice kid and despite the fanfare that was around him (thanks to Toto), he hasn't let the pressure get to his head and he's quietly doing his thing. I think a lot of people are already forgetting his first race of the season where he showed immense maturity to finish so well after messing up quali. George is no slouch but Kimi was very close to him all weekend in Canada, easy to forget...

As for Toto's dream decision; I think the very reason he hasn't renewed George yet is because he thinks there is a chance of getting Max. And it'll be Max with Kimi as his 2nd driver. The two know each other quite well and get along great.

 

And Max doesn't??

 

Such as ?

 

I would like to see max and Kimi on the same team

 

I didn't buy the program....who is Smug?

 

Russell

 

Really ?? You haven't answered to my post #8 to explain yourself.

 

Max and George, I want Kimi at Ferrari to replace Hamilton. The kid is really good and has impressed me so far this season.

 

Sky Italia now fueling rumours too. According to other F1 news sources ''tomorrow will be a crazy day''.

Max's answers to the usual question has changed as well in the last month or so. He always used to say "I love Red Bull and I have a contract". Now he's saying "it's not something I'm thinking about".

Says a lot without saying anything

 

Man I hope so
