Hi, it's me. I'm the problem, it's me. At lights out, everyone agrees. I'll stare directly at the turn but never in the mirrors.
Stroll, ..., ... ? Feels like he should add himself to the list...
I was about to say George is definitely on George's list
- George
- Russell
- Stroll
Stroll for sure, Max maybe? (he's obviously great, but his wheel to wheel style has undeniably been... dubious... in the past)... third one maybe KMag... I like him, but he does tend to go a bit crazy, especially in early laps.
Agree that George could probaby put himself on this list tbh
But I don't think Max his incidents in the last couple of seasons have been due to a lack of spatial awareness. I think he has tons of it. He's just more agressive, and even the agressiveness has gone down a lot since he won his first title.
I think Max's lower aggression is probably a result of just not needing too. He's barely had to go wheel to wheel for the last year and a half - why bother doing anything risky when you can just wait a lap or two and destroy any other car on the grid under DRS. If/when another team gets close then I'm sure 'borderline Max' will make a return.
And yeah, he's not clumsy by any means, he just has that "you concede or we crash" mentality.
