That's more like mind games.
Interestingly Max said that they needed to avoid missing Q3.SiLo wrote: ↑Sat Jul 31, 2021 6:31 pmHe genuinely wasn't fast enough on the Mediums.

Did they think Max needed to improve after he had already left on softs?
Or is it all about the start tomorrow?
Maybe they are expecting a safety car first lap so they can slip in the pits?
Undoubtedly.
I was thinking about this earlier today. Especially what he said about the booing. Not sure what to make of it though.
That’s a bit counterintuitive. Why would he be more relaxed and compliant if he’s being shown the door?
The dream of becoming an F1 champion at his current team is over. Inner peace comes often when you give in to reality and when you can relax, because the pressure is gone. He can go home on Sunday evening, have a good week, etc etc.
We don't know what deal he gets. It could be anything to staying on with Merc to being 'placed' by them in a car he wants to drive in any series or even 'backing' for something like rally if he wanted it.
Plus, “fighting” Hamilton is one of the most stressful things you can do. If you can let that go, life is suddenly a lot more relaxed.Big Tea wrote: ↑Sat Jul 31, 2021 10:27 pmWe don't know what deal he gets.
