Laurent Mekies: โIt is a fact that Max senses things we cannot measure with our current data analysis and sensors in the car. I will be very honest about that. That is the result of his extraordinary sensitivity in the car and the technical level he possesses. I do not see that as a worrying factor, but rather as a great strength.โ
โTo give an example: Max already felt at the beginning of this year that there was a problem with the steering, and we couldn't see it. But thanks to him, we were able to solve it. As a team, we have only benefited from that.โ

โMax is really slow,โ yet he couldnโt overtake him for 13 laps, not even on fresh soft tyres.
Meanwhile, โthe really slow Maxโ shows him how to execute the perfect overtake on his first attempt.
This is not only delusional, but also yet another sneaky dig at Charles Leclerc.
Even with the benefit of the VSC, it was impossible to beat the Mercedes.
Meanwhile, the digs at Charles keep coming:
โIโm the only one fighting the Mercedes at the front.โ
โCharles copied my setup,โ implying that was the reason Charles won at Silverstone.
โWe could have challenged for the win,โ implying he would have done a better job than Charles.
After 20 years in F1 and winning everything there is to win, these petty games are completely unnecessary.
