      As a fan of Lewis, I think Max is 1) A fantastic driver and 2) Down to earth now he has matured. When I first saw him race, I knew he would be a WDC. As a Lewis fan, I was obviously not happy with what happened in AD, but that wasn't Max's fault (and Lewis knew that, which is why he congratulated him) He is doing what Sebastian and Lewis did when they had the fastest cars and good luck to him - he's driving well, and fairly, as both Lewis and Fernando acknowledged at the last race.

      @@robthornton6288 What Lewis did in his carreer was also insane. For a lot of races he was driving like a robot. Insanely fast, consistent and really good with his tyres. To do this for such a long time you have to be something special. Coming from a Dutch Max fan. The 2021 season was the best season ever. They were pushing each other so far ahead of the rest of the field. Unbelievable.

      ​@@isaacm2374He didn't grow up with a silver spoon. That's a big misconception and lie spread by haters. His father was an F1 driver but not at the top at that time, only the top F1 earned millions and definitely not what they earn today, not comparable at all. They weren't 'poor' but his father had to take out loans for Max to be able to get on with karting. He worked himself on his karts not with hired engineers and other hired staff like a lot of them had. They drove in a Van every weekend to karting tracks in Italy and back home right after, not in a private plane like others. They worked very hard for all of it so they and especially Max deserves everything he has now.

    Well at 67 years I have a very good instinct regarding the who the what and the when. Max is a very welcome breath of fresh air. The beauty of this is he will stay this way always. He's the best of the best and give everything that he can regarding the racing wherever that might be. Michael Schumacher will be very proud if he could know that Max fills his shoes 110%. He does not need best wishes for the rest of his career he already have that from me. My wish for him is many more fantastic races, to stay safe on the racing track and stay the winner that he is.🏆Amanda from South Africa..

And now that he has achieved his goal of becoming world champion, he's much more relaxed and doesn't make the mistakes like he used to do before he became champion. And he's still getting better and better.

    I am into sim racing and Max is nearly (not quite .. yet :) ) as good in that as he is in real life racing. Thing is videos appear from time to time of him doing that and obviously it is a much much different environment to F1, but he is the same. He talks to his opponents with the same respect that he does in F1. Seeing him with family, I think a niece, younger sister, who he calls P, he really is a normal nice guy.. He could be a lot different. I changed my opinion of him. The press loves to stoke crap and create drama but he gets my vote, I think he is a genuine nice guy.
