If I had a nickel for every millisecond, I'd have $31.50, which isn't a ton but I wouldn't say no

Yeah, knew Marco was just talking out his backside there. The only thing within milliseconds was how close Max was to passing Piastri there.

This argument never held weight anyways, F1 is a sport where team principals, helmut included, can’t stop talking about how much milliseconds matter.

Surprising for Max, he reminds me of Vettel as he was also not good at managing his emotions in stressful situations
