What baffles me the most is that he was incredibly on point in the first 4 races. Nobody believed that he was actually gonna challenge Max, but he really delivered. And then comes his traditional mid season slump that he has every year for some reason
At this point it’s pretty clearly at least partially psychological. Which in itself isn’t great. He was on the pace today for the first time in months, but could he maintain a cool head and just keep it between the lines in Q2? No, he just had to push the limit to try to prove himself.
