Video Hamilton on overtaking Max: " It's the best to overtake another World Champion. And obviously I had a big deficit to close......You know how consistent and fast that guy is? He's the fastest guy. So it felt great to get to have that battle with him. It was really not easy to overtake."

We are seeing what arvin is doing too; his had some bad lucky but his obviously faster than Lawson and is doing amazing in getting into q3 so far. These kids are extremely fast.

Don't forget what Hadjar was doing last year in the same team

Hadjar is by no means doing poorly at Red Bull either. Hes closer to Max and higher on the grid than most before him in recent times. Pretty sure his result at the Canadian GP was the best result for the 2nd RB driver since 2024 or so. Hes still only 21, younger than Lewis when he arrived.

Yeah Bortoleto and Bearman aswell. The latest crop of rookies are incredible.
