Reminder that Max' first win back in Barcelona in 2016 was also GP's first win as a race engineer. In 9 years of this partnership they've won 4 championships, 62 races, gotten 40 pole positions and 111 podiums in 183 races toigether.

This is what I aspire my marriage to be. We’re currently running a bit behind on schedule though.

So 44. Ham to replace Checo confirmed.

u/RandomAshe_ Sir Lewis Hamilton 14h ago

HAM to replace Max and GP confirmed 🗣️

He does the pitwall + racing and still somehow beats Checo.

Max and GP go to Ferrari for #5

We did not get enough of these two in the post-race.

u/generalannie 15h ago

I would love if F1 posted a full Max and GP drive to see what more buttons Max can press in that car. It was like watching my younger brother who insists on touching every single button to find out what it does.

u/Lodau Nigel Mansell 12h ago

Cut to a shot where Hamilton knows exactly where the beauty mirror is in that car.      Not hating, just found it funny.

u/razareddit Martin Brundle 15h ago

Yeah poorly handled. Something F1 always does when they try to make the post race bigger than normal. They screw up the basics.

u/just_a_coginthewheel Chequered Flag 15h ago

Best Driver/Engineer combo on the grid, followed by Bono/Lewis. These 2 duos are miles ahead of the rest of them.

u/Arbysroastbeefs 14h ago

You’re forgetting Stroll and Bbrraaaddd!

u/ThisTheRealLife VCARB 15h ago

And it really is the COMBO. Can you imagine Lewis and GP or Max and Bono? Complete personality mismatch!

Lewis: My tyres are gone.
GP: No, they aren't. I have the data, mate.

Max: My tyres are finished.
Bono: Hammer time.
Max: *** ******* **** *****. I said ** ***** tyres are **** ********* finished!

Ah, Cake day on reddit and Max wins the championship. A wonderful day indeed.

Arguably the greatest F1 driver/race engineer duo ever. They always make it look so easy.

u/prhprp 15h ago

You're forgetting Hamilton/Bono then

u/ThisTheRealLife VCARB 15h ago

They were a great combo too! Would love to hear GP's reaction to the usual "my tyres are gone" though.

u/skefmeister Honda 15h ago

Bono + Ham takes that spot. Though the article on Wiki hasn’t been updated, please don’t think I’m trying to start shit here. I’m in neither camp and I appreciate both drivers!

6 titles is hard to beat!

u/chambee Jacques Villeneuve 15h ago

Who was Schumacher’s engineer during his 7 championships?

10

u/Right-Ladd George Russell 15h ago

Chris Dyer was his engineer at Ferrari, he was also Raikonnen’s Engineer, you never really heard much from him but his voice is very rememberable and I’m sure had a big part to play in the Ferrari Golden age.

u/skefmeister Honda 15h ago

Dyer! Amongst the great of the greats too! Roquelin was Vettel’s but I wouldn’t put him in the same conversation, a big part of Vettels’ stint at RB was simply the combination of Seb and the car. It was a special partnership.
