I thought everyone in Mercedes has said several times that Russell was always driving the more ‘stable’ setup and Hamilton was driving the ‘development’ setup
lmao if you believe this I cannot help you
Lewis may have run some different setups in FP1 but he was beaten by Russel because he was too busy having a paddy about RBR cheating with their floor

Oval racing is the most exciting for both drivers and spectators because the high speeds and close quarters of the racing can lead to intense competition and frequent passing.
Surely no one would re-reg to argue this unassailable truism.

When Herta wins the World Championship for the McDonald's Ford Bud Light F1 team at the las vegas grand prix, and he and his 400 pound team principal accept the trophy while they blare an electric guitar version of the star spangled banner, right down the road from the casino where that mass shooter killed dozens of people, the NHS is going to collapse from all of the british people having aneurysms.

The Monaco Grand Prix, the most prestigious race in the world of Formula One, was in full swing. The streets of Monte Carlo were filled with the roar of engines as the world's best drivers competed for the coveted trophy.

But suddenly, the peaceful atmosphere was shattered as a barrage of missiles rained down on the track. The stands, filled with wealthy and powerful spectators, were caught in the crossfire as chaos erupted.

Max Verstappen, whilst leading the race, was determined to do something to stop the attack. He quickly jumped out of his car and began to search for a way to take down the missiles.

As he made his way through the panicked crowds, he stumbled upon a nearby construction site. There, he found a large crane that he knew could be used to take out the missiles.

With quick thinking, Max climbed to the top of the crane and took control. He expertly navigated the crane's arm towards the incoming missiles, using its massive claw to grab and crush them mid-air, just before they could reach the track and the stands.

The crowd watched in awe as Max skillfully took out missile after missile, saving countless lives. His heroic actions were met with cheers and applause from the spectators.

As the attack came to an end, Max climbed down from the crane, exhausted but victorious. He had saved the day, and the Monaco Grand Prix could continue.

But Max's heroism went beyond just saving lives that day. He had also taken a stand against the wealthy and powerful elite who had been the intended targets of the missile attack. He had shown that no matter how rich and untouchable they may seem, they were not immune to the destruction brought on by the actions of a few.

As the race resumed, Max Verstappen went on to win the Monaco Grand Prix, cementing his status as a true champion. But his greatest victory that day was not on the track, it was in standing up for what was right and fighting for the lives of the innocent.

The incident led to a much-needed conversation about the security measures on the Formula One events and the importance of being always vigilant and aware of the potential dangers that surround us. Max was hailed as a hero by not only the fans of the sport but also by the general public for his selfless act of bravery.

From that day on, Max Verstappen was not just a talented driver, he was a symbol of hope and determination, who in the face of destruction and chaos, rose above it all and emerged victorious.
