I know some people think I hate on Max... but that drive from Lewis today is what he's missing. That sprint alone was more thrilling than anything we've seen from Max all season, despite how well he's been driving. Max is fast, but he drives like the video gamer he is. He doesn't have that "thing". That's why I constantly compare him to early Kimi-- the parallels are uncanny, I've said it and I'll say it again, his wheel to wheel is pretty mediocre. There are plenty of threads on Reddit about how "physical" his technique is on iRacing and he brings that same mentality to the actual racetrack. He drives like someone who doesn't realize he's in a real car.
