Then with a broken front endplate, Lewis was still able to pull away from Max. Without an end plate the high pressure air can spill over the edge of the wing to mix with the low pressure air creating a vortex. This creates alot of drag slowing the car down and causes it to lose alot of down force as well, and since it was on one side it causes handling imbalances. So that takes alot of skill to manage.
Do I think Lewis is better in terms of raw speed vs. max? No I think they are very evenly matched. The place where Lewis is better is in terms of racecraft, because he has the ability to understand when to back off and when to fight - lose the battle to win the war. Max doesn't have that yet, maybe he never will with his agression, but that is what makes Lewis faster overall... If Lewis can win this season it will show you how good he really is.
