If you're blue and your drivers fok with you, why don't you do what they can't do, and then you get...

I liked the new tyre rules for this weekend's qualifying...
...I'd extend it thusly:
Set the tyre allocation for a weekend to exclude quali entirely, and for qualy give each driver two sets of tyres per qualy session like this based on championship standings:
1st - 3rd = C1 (Hardest)
4th - 7th = C2
8th - 11th = C3
12th - 14th = C4
15th - 17th = C5
18th - 20th = C6 (Softest)
This will give the resultant shakeup of qualy that people seem to like without feeling forced like a reverse grid.
Now that Max is in the coveted 6+ consecutive wins club I went looking for stats on consecutive wins...
...and the Internet has the answers! This website has consecutive wins, races first to last, and number of laps led during the streak. Schumacher dominates the list with multiple entries.
Verstappen and GP frosty radio comms.
Is the frosty treatment of Max by his race engineer a recemt thing, or am I only noticing it now?
I know Max said that if GP retires, he will stop racing, but it seems to me that GP has been less than diplomatic in his comms with Max this year.
Notable today was the "we all got that from your previous message" response to Max complaining about his tyres. Is it maybe a case of that's just what works between them?
I don't think I saw GP at the podium celebrations, but again it could just be me.
Would love some insight from you guys.
Ferrari failing their drivers again this weekend.
Ferrari really dropped all the balls this weekend. Sainz has been in the way of other drivers repeatedly, which falls on his engineer who should let him know when cars are coming. In rainy conditions the drivers can't see jack nothing in their mirrors and it's like Sainz was just left to his own devices by his engineer.
Honorable mention for Tsunoda doing his best mobile roadblock impression. Holy heck he was constantly in the way this weekend.
Then there is poor Leclerc. He asked for slicks, and his team overruled him and it caused him to be eliminated in Q2. How much longer can he stomach Ferrari incompetence before he starts putting feelers out for a drive elsewhere? As things are going at the Ferrari strategy desk it's clear the prancing horse has bolted the barn and his chances of getting a championship is in the low zeros.
