2021 - Race 21 Saudi Arabia

With them going into a braking zone/corner your slipstream theory doesn't really stack up. There would be far more to be gained from a high speed differential of passing him quickly. Max might have left a cars width but he made it tight to avoid that happening too.

Agreed on all other points though.

But that was the point, to slipstream into the corner ahead and force Verstappen to either stay behind at the apex or squeeze him onto the kerbs. Either way, he may have got ahead. He used that technique twice during the race.
