    I also do sim racing. I drove a GT car in iRacing with the setup how Max likes it. I spun 4 times in the first lap, the rear just wants to go around as soon as you blow at the throttle pedal while not having the fronts straight. Alex explained this perfectly with his mouse sensitivity example. He's driving with his fingertips and has mastered this perfectly.

I've seen this side several times but don't you think it's kinda logical that hostile media that dislikes Max is not interested in showing that side of Max? Same for social media if it's pro Lando or pro Hamilton do you think it's shows the kind side of Max? I am not surprised though if i would judge Hamilton/Lando only by consume Dutch media coverage of them i would dislike both as well. Once you don't trust a person or dislike him you will judge through a negative filter and the same if it's your hero you will filter that through positivity.. It's .... human and hard to not have either positive or negatve bias.

    "Red Bull is blamed for something totally not in your control. How is Max dealing with that?"
    The fact that you as a reporter genuinely have this perception and almost everyone else in the world, other than Lewis Hamilton fans, have te complete opposite perception, says everything about the British media propaganda really. Hamilton was so very lucky that season on many occasions: the red flag in Emilia Romagna that saved his race, the red flag in Silverstone that saved that one, Max having a puncture in Baku, Max getting knocked out by Bottas in Hungary. Max winning 2021 does not come down to that one moment in Abu Dhabi, it comes down to him scoring 95% of the available points, whereas Hamilton only got to about 84%, because he had quite some mistakes/bad performances that year, especially in the first half of the season. Off course missing turn 1 in Baku was his biggest mistake, but also he lost his car in Emilia Romagna in the rain, had a bad Monaco weekend, collided with Max at Silverstone, had a very bad sprint start in Monza destroying easy P1 in sprint and main race and a bad start and qualification in Russia. Hamilton was only faultless the last 7 races when he had a big engine/speed advantage over Max. Max was pretty much faultless the entire year, with the exception of overtaking Hamilton outside the track in Bahrein, colliding with Hamilton in Monza and defending too aggressively in Brazil.

      you still see it to this day on the fans still complaining about ad21 just as the press still bringing this up.
      something rb had no influence on , unlike the dq's by hamilton and russel for cheating by merc which merc did have a influence on but never gets pointed at its so blatantly clear where the bias lays. dont believe there are many other teams who have gotten dq'd for cheating twice in the last 2 years , actually ridiculous if you think about it .
      should a team like that even be on the grid should be the question.

    You can tell that Albon sympathises with Checo. Its interesting to note that at the start of each season Checo is really competitive, as they adjust the car for Max through each season, Checo gets progressively worse. They need to identify who the drivers are that also love a really sharp setup for the 2nd seat at Red Bull. Is that how Lawson likes his car set up?

      They change the Max's car his liking, but leave Checo's car alone. Meanwhile because the car starts to feel more natural to Max, he is starting to go even faster, while Checo stays at the same pace, so only relative to Max Check is going slower. Alex, Gasly and Checo are not bad drivers, but like Newey told here they need all of their attention on driving the car and that is why their performance also varies much more per race. Alex is now driving with Williams and if he scores points they celebrate that as if they just won the world championship. With Red Bull they expect that you finish relative close to your teammate. But while Max won Brazil, Checo only finished P11 with both vcarb cars in front of him. There are two reasons why Chech still has a seat at Red Bull, first they don't have a replacement driver that guarantee will do better than Perez. Max just crushes his teammates. Another reason is that Perez is very popular in Latin America and the Red Bull Energy company is selling a lot of cans in those reasons. In 2023 there was only a 27 million price money difference with the constructors between P1 and P4. In 2023 I attended a seminar where a former Red Bull marketing told they audience that since Perez joined Red Bull, sales in Latin America tripled over night.
      Unlike that other teams in Formula 1A, Red Bull is the only one not selling cars (at least not at a primary product) and they are just the party team trying to win the drivers championship because the press (and fans) are more interested in the drivers than the teams. Of course Horner and Marko would love to win both championships.

      @@2Fast4Mellow 'They' is not Adrian Newey otherwise it would be 'him or he' Both sides of the garage have their own people setting the car up. And while Max side continues to make it more pointy more sensitive faster but more dangerous to drive the other side cannot give the same setup if they try it no longer suits their style and they fail. Realize also that no f1 driver will admit another driver is better! That will never happen as that would create doubt in their current team or future teams they can become the next champion thus hurting their careers.

      They don't really need to do that.
      There are two obvious drivers who also like such a car, and RBR already considered both and rejected them.
      The first one is Ricciardo who wanted to come back and was unceremoniously dropped in favour of letting Perez keep failing for the remainder of the season.
      The other one is Hulkenberg who was considered alongside Perez in 2020 to replace Albon. Now Hulkenberg not only likes that style of car, but actually has a far more similar driving style to Verstappen than a lot of other drivers. From what I could gather back then, there seem to have been doubts about his consistency and maybe also the fact that he was favoured by Verstappen.
      RBR created this mess themselves and now they are inheriting a well deserved loss in the WCC, infighting and losing Newey.

    Max has pure racing pedigree, everybody’s hating on Jos Verstappen, but I’m from the same region and they’re just typical blue collar people. Jos was quite fast but without proper guidance. He managed to drive in F1 for many years, which is impressive for a Dutch driver. He did some stupid things but he’s actually a nice guy. When Max made clear racing was all he wanted, Jos pushed him to be the best he can be. Nothing wrong with that, they don’t have Stroll money, Jos invested a considerable amount of his net worth into Max’ career, he wanted results for that. I don’t think Max blames him for anything, they’re just moving up in life. Only downside of Max’ talent and pedigree is that he’s destroying beautiful careers like Riciardo’s, Gassly’s, Albon’s and Checo’s.
