Williams is trying to rebuild, to do that they'll need a worthwhile junior program, passing over your own competent junior driver for a reserve driver at another team doesn't really say much for your junior program.
Logan was actually a pretty good driver and multiple race winner in the junior categories but you're right Williams didn't do the kid any favors. I didn't expect him to be the second coming of Lewis Hamilton or anything but he really should have been closer to Albon. I could absolutely see him getting a decent Indycar ride and doing well in that series.
Here comes the true test if Max has matured. All he really has to do is not **** up from here on out and he should still be champ by taking the points he can get. If he can’t handle not being first and forces himself where he doesn’t belong, it could slip away pretty easily.
Maybe. Qualifying 7th means he can’t just sit there and not be aggressive trying to move up. Finishing in say 5th-7th if Lando is getting podiums wouldn’t cut it the rest of the way.
Yeah, but this is Monza, this is a crazy odd track. (Imagine if they still used the full layout). Max will still get his. He finished 2nd last week. I’d say this is more odd than the norm. Don’t get me wrong though, I’d like nothing better than to see this be his best qualifying place the rest of this season.
But Baku and Singapore are next and they seem to struggle on those real street circuits, especially Singapore.
I hope you are right. I still think if Max doesn’t get stupid, he’ll win it, even qualifying outside the top 5. Max is a great driver, if he lets the race come to him, he’ll still finish in better spots than he starts. Here is to hoping Max does Max things.
