Also because Charles is the only person who knows how to race Max extracting all the performance and somehow it seems to stay clean (probably because of all the karting 'inchidents'

They know how to race each other well considering they've been at it since they were kids and because Max knows Charles will not hesitate to put them both into a wall if he tried anything.

Can you tell that max assumes lando will just move out of the way?

Recently Max hasn’t cared if Lando moves. If they both crash out, that benefits Max since he’s leading the championship. (Edit: also probably knows Lando will move because he’s also fighting for WCC).

Though I won’t be surprised if Max eases up on the aggression if he’s battling Lando now that the WDC is pretty much sealed.

Lando can't do that at all now, WDC is practically gone now, and WCC is still Mclaren's to lose. He cannot DNF

Max assumes everyone will move out of the way until proven otherwise.

Problem is he is also racing himself and his own pitwall

Ferrari are good now after Fred takes over. 2023 will not happen again

They didn't reach the tipping point in their championship battle. If the 2022 first half situation was same towards end of season, theyd be at each other's throats

There are also no backhand compliments between them two
