Apparently Max has ruled out doing another Nürburgring race in 2026 ☹️ (via @VincentJBruins)

📻 Mekies: "Well done Max, I know that was a tough day, but it's a big step forward compared to this morning, compared to yesterday aswell. That's 3.5 tenths from pole. we keep pushing. We know we have a gap to close, but it's closing slowly."

so if we finish p5 in quali i‘ll be happy
