    almost feels like Verstappen also went for the fastet lap at the end so that the final result doesn’t show the +30s gap. so further down the road, they can argue that the race pace of the RB isn’t as far ahead of other teams as it really is.

      I think if that were the case, then the team would have suggested it. This was the choise of Max, he even had to convince the team.

      I think you are overthinking this a bit.

      Max wants to win, everything. That is is his motivation. Although I would argue Lando in points and having the fastest lap would not motivate Max to take that away from Lando. From Checo though, he has to take those points.

      And we have not seen the true pace of that car and Max. Both are held back and I fear we will never see the true pace of that RB19 + Max combination. It’s a bit sad tbh but if he is not pushed, you will never see the limit of them.
