And we're back to business as usual, with Max taking his 59th win at Imola.
Things of Note from this Race:
Alex Albon unfortunately had to retire
Fernando Alonso's Aston was bad. Very bad. Brakes on Fire bad. He concluded in P19 after starting from the Pit
Logan Sargeant finished in P17! I will take it!
Lewis took P6 which seems to be the Mercedes new home on the grid, ahead of George, however;
George took fastest lap!
Yuki closed out the top ten, however, he was lapped, so only 1-9 have a time.
Lando was so close, but they're playing Padel where he will certainly win because I'm pretty sure it's the only sport Max Verstappen actively plays that he's not good at.
in reference to this amazing(!!!) gifset: https://www.tumblr.com/pretzelgotze/750303046929645568/miami-gp-2024-max-and-charles-edition?source=share
ummm so on the 10th slide, who else noticed that charles' hand actually reaches back to pat max on his arm (i screenshotted for proof that my brain did not in fact make this up lol)
the screenshot makes it look kind of ambiguous but if you look at the gif and video of the moment as well, you can see charles' hand clearly leave max's body only for it to oh so casually return for a tiny little one last touch. i feel slightly insane for this?????
Oh haha I didn't notice that!!
It really seemed like Charles was sad that his spot was so far away from Max and he kept inching closer and trying to touch Max or encourage Max to wrap an arm around him. They did not like being separated like that. I love them so much, absolutely crazy about each other.
In that screenshot it looks like Charles is trying to take Max's hand so he can lead him away somewhere 😂
