Interesting radio exchange between Max and his pits. He was gonna be called in to do a long run with fuel for team to gather race pace data. 

Max turned that down and instead keep running on soft to perfect his one lap pace. 

Seems like he isn't looking forward to actually racing at all, all he wanted to do is to qualify on pole, then do something with Hamilton when Hamilton try to pass and his job for this weekend is done. 

Can't blame him, if Hamilton doesn't win or finish this week his chances to win the title is that much better at Abu Dhabi. He has shown that such a tactic isn't below him. 

Really hope he does't pull a Prost this weekend.
