Underrated part of Max's driving is just how damn good he is at conserving tyres.
Consistently the last to pit on the same tyres.. (along with Alonso)
He definitely deserves the "tire whisperer" monicker more than Checo.
He got that moniker partly because Racing Point loved starting on hards and going long. Not to say he didn't execute well, but it was also a product of strategy.
also those were the old 13 inch tires
I donβt think Checo figured out the 18 inch tires like Max has
Great point, absolutely agreed!
I was laughing when the podium cars were lined up. Max's tires were absolutely shredded, Checo's were fairly bad, Lando's had some light wear. Max makes it look easy to drive on tires that look like they were in a warzone.
It is bits of rubber outside of trajectory. Drivers drive on them after crossing finish line. They stick to the tires and add some weight. It helps from DQ in some cases.
