I'm on the floor laughing as GP Fans did an 'end of year awards' poll and stated that MAX got thrashed by LEW . Really more faith hope and charity for LEW I would have thought or they rigged the poll

The RB21 is going to be a drastically better car, so it will be hard to compare apples to apples.

Poor 'ol Zhou can't get a break, kicked out from Kick Sauber and no drive for '25 as with KMag also using desperate measures to get Hulkenberg a point or two.
