My friend, Max has only averaged 2 wins per season since he has been at Red Bull. He isn't the best performing non-Works Mercedes driver in the field since that year.

We shall see what happens the week at Imola.
It may have been unacceptable by Whitmarsh but he wasn't the one that was driving it friend.
Lewis simply took more chances risking himself and the car more, the 4/24 had a high safety margin and could be pushed more than say the Ferrari at the time.
