I just think the Red Bull flattered to deceive after quali and obviously Max got a little over-keen at times to keep up. It was a great quali for them despite missing out on pole and sadly Max got a little overexcited to stay up there. It must have been hard when this was a big opportunity for them and he wanted to go that extra mile further than he usually did. He was very keen to get ahead of Vettel and Perez and show everyone what he could do if he had the chance. But I think it shows he still has much to learn. He’s done a very good job this season, but maybe hasn’t quite got the racing brain other top drivers have yet.
And yes Red Bull made a big gamble staying out on wets, in reality it wasn’t going to work. Even if they could maintain a decent pace on wets, they were only gonna be slower than those on inters, but hey, we can all say that with hindsight.
Perez, though, what a drive. He’s always had it in him, he’s a very good driver, maybe not a great like some, but certainly someone who always has plenty of good drives in him. He really has shown what he can do this season after many years when he could be a bit up and down depending on how his car performed. Now he’s got one that’s a regular front runner we have been reminded that the talent has never gone away
