I'm a bit old school in terms of, I think, you know, yellow flag should be really, really heated.

And I think he heeds it to the letter of the rules.

And yes, it was clever, but I, the site, the idea of someone taking a pole lap on the yellow still feels a bit uncomfortable for me at least.

Um,

Now, I'm going to throw in, while disagreeing with you, I'm going to throw in something from Members Club disagreeing with me because Alex Hindley does kind of call this an example of George Russell doing the Nicky Louder thing and winning by just as much as you need to rather than storming off into distance.

Alex suggesting that maybe Russell had a bit in hand there.

But yeah, I thought this was, I was pleased to see Russell win again.

It was good for the narrative for him to pull some points back.

But I wouldn't have put him first.

I think other people got more out of their cars and I felt there were too many question marks about how easily he might have actually been beaten.

I would have argued for Verstappen first.

I'd be going a little bit on the kind of vibes and hope over pure data because we don't know where he would have ended up if the crash in qualifying hadn't happened.

That crash wasn't his fault, which is quite a powerful thing for me.

I also, I think as comes up every time we end up on Bring Back 310s together, I love a kind of spicy narrative and a vibe

and Verstappen and Red Bull being back near the front.

And the amount of racing he had to pull off, his battle with Lewis Hamilton to get there.

There was a lot of spirit in Verstappen's weekend.

And so I think if George Russell was doing the efficient winning by the right margin and doing what he had to, to me, that's a bit dull.

And my head gets very easily turned by someone swashbuckling their way forward after a qualifying crash that wasn't their fault in a car that was nowhere near winning a few weeks ago.

So for me, it's Max.
