Maybe any driver who finishes ahead of HAM should be penalized or perhaps just disqualified completely for daring to beat the goat like that. This ones a bit bold but how about everyone but HAM has to run on 3 wheels only. I mean c'mon - it is unconscionable to believe that HAM should be on an even playing field as everyone else!
The guy doesn't actually want to compete against anyone who is good. He seems quite content that MB basically cheated to have the best engine and had such a dominant car bad drivers like Bot and to a lesser extend, Ros could win and come in second quite often. Then again, how many times did they ask Bot to invert to pad his stats?? 10,12, 15 times? There's a reason he never wanted Max on MB - he knew he'd have no shot of winning.

Crazy thing is, Max isnt a one dimensional driver either. He crushes it in sim racing (which isnt easy), and imagine in WEC/Le Mans he would be tough to beat. Not many who have the deft driving to switch cars that all need to be driven differently
