It's actually a everything or nothing . Like blow or win ...

That's why MAX ran today 137 laps to show how reliable the new HONDA PU really is !
I've said before even with their split turbo and the mysterious 'magic mode' there is only so much that the Merc engine block can take.
Couldn't help thinking the 16B will be carried on for Max from the recent Abu Dhabi where he cruised to an easy win, Merc could be in some trouble.
