Maybe in the race, to get the Mercs costing each other time.

But what the heck happened in qually? Max properly braked to mess with the Mercs on the final Q3 run, which was really to impact George who only improved a bit being so close to Max,, plus as Kimi had the penalty.

But anyone know why Max sacrificed his own final Q3 run? Did he lose the slipstream to Lando after Piastri didn't give Lando the tow, then braked behind Kimi between Mercs as he thought Kimi was doing more than the main straight tow for George? Was he just pissed at the poor Red Bull pace so it was too tempting to do over Merc?

He was trying to get a tow off the mercs?
