Whoopsy:

But I think Max really matured since last season, at least for the first race. Bet 1/2 the people watching the race real time would have thought Max would just plow into Charles at least a couple times already during their duel, doing the trademark Max move, aka bull in a china shop move. 

Let's see if his good conduct continues this weekend in Saudi. But really, I am mightily impressed by his matured driving. A big round of applause from me to him.

I thought the same of Max early last year, I started to warm up to him as he did appear more mature.   However as the pressure increased as the year progressed he reverted to Mad Max and I lost respect for him.   So lets see if he reverts again this year if the battle continues all season as I hope it does either as two or three horse race.
