I'd be interested to know Mercedes thinking on not wanting Max. I guess they don't want someone to compete with Lewis but someone to support him. Well it's worked well for them so far and Lewis is probably happy about it. Hopefully Red Bull/Honda can make some improvements, they don't need much.

Honestly though, I think if they would have pitted Max immediately after Lewis there would have been enough time for Max to come out in front. Lewis was 20-21 seconds behind when he cam out of the pits. Even if he did come out behind, Max may have been able to overtake Lewis. But all the teams seem to have the mindset that there is no way to pass Lewis. Maybe their right.
