00:00 I would like to think he's not going to run away with it like he did last year.
00:03 When you look at how they excelled, how they managed to pull some of the wins off
00:08 that they did. They didn't have the best car, but the package was the best. And I mean package from
00:13 engineering to mechanics to pit stops to the background to what Max delivered on track.
00:18 They pulled out a couple of wins they shouldn't have last year. Nobody was able to get on top of
00:22 it. You have to take your hat off to him and say incredible job. People will get closer this year,
00:27 I think a hundred percent. It's not going to be a runaway like it was, but to get on top of that
00:33 every Grand Prix with the advantage that they had at some tracks last year, I don't see how they can
00:38 lose the championship to be honest. I think over the course of the season, he'll get the job done.
00:42 I think he'll have a harder time at it. And I'd like to see them more in battle. I'd like to see
00:47 them up against Lando. I'd like to see them up against Lewis, Ferrari in there as well, because
00:51 I think that's what we need to get the jeopardy back into Formula One and get people closer.
00:56 And certainly these rules so far, Red Bull have had such an advantage, but
01:00 when you see close racing wheel to wheel, that's what the drivers want to do.
