    He didn’t have to have fastest lap. He was winning the race. He was saving tires and running at a consistent pace.

    The entirety of this was true last year as well. Hell last year he also had a black and white flag shown for track limit violations which would have meant that any further track limit violation would result in a penalty and yet he went for a fastest lap and got it by beating a time set by Perez on new tyres with DRS. Verstappen no longer has the kind of car advantage (or even any discernible advantage based on the last 5 races) that he had last year. If you aren’t able to realise that, I can’t help you.

      He doesn’t have as much of an advantage. But, he still has one. As the other cars get quicker so will Red Bull. So will he keep that advantage? Time will tell, but he’s running up the points meanwhile.
