Don't know how they do it , but the McLaren tires last forever (!)
MAX was never in the running for the win . Red Bull has more work to do ..

With how the Larens were going rocket fast before their bendy wings were sidelined it does look like it even now.

In the last 5-6 laps , Lando was 1 sec. faster than MAX .
Just by the Papaya tires ...

BTW : And suddenly Ferrari was extremely fast and good for the tires (!)

The RB20 improved with the COTA upgrades (new floor) but still it's not enough ..

The MAX factor comes in every time to haul that 20 forward.

Sure . The MAX-Factor is always there .The Papaya with DRS is no joke but MAX defence was a joy to watch .

I’ll enjoy today but don’t think Mexico and Brazil are Ferrari tracks.

Impressive defense from Max in the final laps. Chances that Lando could have overhauled 5 seconds seemed very slim - maybe Lando figured he might get away with that pass, but can’t help but think he’d have been better giving the position back and trying one more time. Shoulda, coulda, woulda I know.

Lando just doesn’t seem to have the killer instinct though - turn 1 was a great example. I’m still reminded of LeClerc in 22 when he started to make unforced errors when in winning situations. Maybe Lando will mature like Charles has.

Max put on a defense clinic!!!

And the best driver on earth ends up last in the gravel

That's all he could do today ..
Ferrari was faster and McLaren was faster .

One thing is for sure : It's very difficult to pass MAX .
Sometimes It's even impossible
