Again, it's all complete rumours at this point, but on the Max side of things the only things I've read are that he found out after Mexico. Which makes more sense than him just sitting waiting for 6 months to be asked to move over for Perez. Should be interesting to see what comes out of this. There's already a bunch of videos up comparing the throttle traces of Perez before the crash and there seems to be a very purposeful blip of the throttle mid-corner.
This one seems pretty clear: https://streamable.com/m97q3i
And while it feels like I really shouldn't need to add this at this point, Max is still fucking daft for what he's done here. Created a complete clusterfuck for himself and the team. Though at this point I almost feel like I'm saying that Perez should've gotten away with it if he did do it on purpose.
It doesn't make sense to me because when we've seen them in the cooldown room they've been all pally, it feels like something happened this weekend that turned it. Maybe Max didn't know, someone accidentally said something, and now he's throwing his toys out of the pram at everyone for keeping him in the dark.
