[Yaayuh!]

I miss Lotus Grosjean. He was like a glass cannon. Very quick but also very likely to balls it all up.

Bring back Grosjean, Maldonado and Kvyat

A Fellow agent of mayhem I see!

Mind you; that's race winner Maldonado, to you!

I fear Max will be back near the top step this weekend. We know he was running an old engine which was down in power so that would fully explain being behind McLaren and Ferrari. With a new engine he’ll likely be back fighting the top 2-3 drivers and with (as above) DRS aplenty it’s going to be a walk in the park for him even if he does start from towards the back. I’m a total pessimist but I wouldn’t be surprised if he won the sprint or race, or both

Best case scenario for the WDC is if Piastri has been taking tips from Bottas on how to help his teammate in the first corner (not corner specific - I can’t remember what circuit that was..) and Max DNFs and Norris wins. If there’s only 5 or so points between what they take here then it’s pretty much over.

Be nice to see Max win here.

Engine penalty looks likely.

Isn’t Interlagos quite bumpy?
Mercedes will be spinning like crazy
Also won’t suit Red Bull?

Especially if it's wet but you never know, anyone who wins under those conditions fully deserves it.
