Did Max race today? Caught a good bit of him during the prerace.

Yeah, I think last race he was pointing out that their engines typically last 2 races. That sounds ok, but in reality it means a repeating pattern of a race where the engine blows up, followed by a race where they start from the back due to grid penalties - such that even the pace they have got almost never shows up in their final placings. Seems like today it did, at least for Alonso.
Yeah Max only finished 5th. What a loser. Officially gains the title Best of the Rest. More finishes like that and I’ll have to fanboy for Kvyat.
Yeah feeling very downtrodden. If you can beat Ferrari or Mercedes you're over achieving or lucky, but if you can't you just suck.
Bummer.
Are you saying driver success most closely correlates with the capability of the car they're driving?
I'm saying when my boy Max finishes well you say he's lucky and when he finishes about where any great driver would finish given his equipment then he is a nobody with shit results.
I just want to cry when you guys put down my idol....
Yeah. It's too bad Race of Champions is more of a gimmicky exhibition because it's fun and fairly leveling.
My point all along is that Max is performing well, but putting him up as a presumptive multiple WDC winner at this point is a bit much. Even in the sphere of RBR he's been outperformed by his teammate pretty handily. His trajectory should be upwards, especially if he grasps the PR side of the sport and stops acting like spoiled child. Handing him a crown right now is rampant fanboyism.
To draw a different kind of comparison he's F1s Bryce Harper.
