But, true, it's fascinating to behold how Verstappen squeezes all out of the RB21, on the limit, maximum risk. With best efforts, he's playing the cards he's dealt with by RBR. The car is no match for the McLarens, but Verstappen's capabilities compensate to some extent the 'shortcomings' of the RB21 and those of Piastri and Norris: at least we get some 'battles' at the front rather than McLaren demolishing the whole field, permanently driving off in the distance.
Reality-check: if Verstappen would be driving one of the 2025 McLaren cars, we all know how the WDC would end, don't we ?

I've lost count of the times I've heard that but no, he won't be driving there and Brown is just teasing the RBR team only because they currently have an advantage.
As far as getting a tow from ANT for the pole at the BGP, MAX was in the right slot at the right time so well done to the strat team who are doing their job, all in a days work.
