You could feel the betrayal and recall the images of how checo gave it all in last year’s last race for Max. The trust is gone after Checo heard what Max said in the inlap.
And while Max is every bit a deserving two time champion he showed today he has much to learn about what it is to be a team leader. For everything Checo has done to help his cause, today’s result means nothing to Max in the wider view. Disrespected his teammate and his team.
