If it's raining then all bets are off though Max's aggression could cost him dearly if he sees that as an opportunity to storm to the front and win.
I don't think he will be storming agressively to the front in the rain, I think he is a more calculating driver than you think. Just waiting for his chances and steadily gaining places. Just like his wet race in Brasil 2016.

Pretty girl, into driving fast cars. Win win!

Anyways....Checo needs to go. Not doing Max and RB any favors with his lackluster performances.
Danica and Natalie Pinkham are my girls. Not too hot on Bernie Collins. Her mannish Irish accent hurts my ears. At least I think she is Irish 🤨

The Honda engines, they just don't die.

One of my first cars was a manual Honda Civic, i have a feeling none of the prior owners ever changed the cambelt. At 200,000kms it snapped while my wife was driving uphill. Towed it to a shop, put on a new cambelt and it worked like new.
