But I don't think Max his incidents in the last couple of seasons have been due to a lack of spatial awareness. I think he has tons of it. He's just more agressive, and even the agressiveness has gone down a lot since he won his first title.

I think Max's lower aggression is probably a result of just not needing too. He's barely had to go wheel to wheel for the last year and a half - why bother doing anything risky when you can just wait a lap or two and destroy any other car on the grid under DRS. If/when another team gets close then I'm sure 'borderline Max' will make a return.

And yeah, he's not clumsy by any means, he just has that "you concede or we crash" mentality.
