Had Rosberg not retired, we could have had another awesome 2-3 years of their rivalry.
ROS is a clever and cunning chap and he had his own agenda doing the right thing retiring as champion as he knew what would be coming within Merc if he stayed.

It's time for MAX to nail it (!)
Toto has been dreaming of Max since 2021, this is his biggest chance. He is trying his best. Painting the AMG safety car orange, putting orange 3 pointed stars all over the W16 like some teen infatuated with a significant other.

The ball is in Max's court no doubt. He has a contract w RB, but he is in control of his destiny and he can choose to leave if he wants to. At the moment he has not categorically said he's staying.

It will take more than putting a Max Orange Army wrap on the pace car and orange stickers on the Merc race car to get to MAX. The thought of the Silverstone '21 celebrations with Wolff celebrating with champagne while MAX was seing double in a clinic is probably a glaring factor no?

Cola/Alpine spins out and gets his car covered in sand but escaped from the gravel trap with just wing tip damage only to stop on the track! Was he told by the snowflakes to stop and alight from the car and session is now stopped, WTF... brit weeds...

MAX: ''This car is so horrible'' really?? ie (the answer my friend is blowing in the wind) rather the wind was pushing him on at the right moments also his positioning and the Larens were out of luck
+ Lots of new parts on car 1 .
