@yousnoerd you and the guy who you replied to, calm down.

@@yousnoerdit’s not about Max. He was just as much a victim of what happened in 2021 as anyone. Max had already accepted that he wasn’t going to beat Lewis probably ten laps before the end of the race. So I don’t blame Max for what happened. He is still one of the best drivers and will continue to be so.
Real difference is that Martin actually talks to him, the idiots with a negative opinion are just keyboard warriors who never talked to him in person and base their opinion on what they think they know about him.
perhaps they base their opinion around: Spa 2016 Spa 2016 Hungary 2017 Baku 2018 Austria 2019 Zandvoort 2023 Vegas 2023 Austria 2023 … Jeddah 2021 Monza 2021 Imola 2021 Spain 2021 Brazil 2021
or perhaps they dont like him because he called Lance a racial slur and “retard” on track. Not very sportsmanlike is it? I can also name more, if needed. If you really need a reason why we dont like him.
I would not call it the truth, rather 'bluntness' or unvarnished opinion. Max gives his opinion as he sees it. My or your opinion (or if you like, perspective on the truth) might be different. I am Dutch and can imagine that the direct, straightforward attitude, which Dutch people seem to be known for, is not for everyone. It works for me, but it can come across as unsensitive and arrogant, even when it is not meant that way. If both parties are ok with it then it makes for a great working relationship, because both sides do not feel any hesitation to give input, suggestions, or correct you instantly when they think you are wrong. On the other hand, if one is not used to this way of communication it can really cause tension in a working relationship.
@@KreshDraven6 I gather you are referring to his racist remarks. Those remarks have nothing to do with HOW something is communicated (directness, being straightforward), but rather WHAT is communicated. Racism is terrible, no matter if it is by ignorance or conviction. One can be blunt and direct without using racist language. Being honest and blunt does not equal being a racist.
@@sixpackpilot "Max gives his opinion as he sees it." Everybody should, it helps to avoid misunderstandings. If you cannot cope with different opinions you are not mature.
Martin is a true racer, he's been around the sport long enough to look past the drama, nationalism and politics. Max is an exceptional talent of our time but, the press and the netflix fans don't want that narrative.
He almost has to be apologetic to be British and a max fan. That's how pathetic most British fans are. Know absolutely zero about racing but are raving lunatic lulu fans
@@KyaPataKya😅 he is literally team LH but also loved racing. Anyone who loves racing can love both Max and Lewis (and Vettel and Kimi and Fernando and so on…) of course we have our preferences :)
@@rk-wy8puthe same could be said for Dutch fans if we use that logic. I’m British and like Max 🤷🏻♂️ I thought it was really good of him to talk to Martin before the race
The more you watch Max behind the scenes, the more you get to know him and how he is, and Martin is right...he's just straight up ' tells it like it is'.... i'd much rather him be like that than some fakery we see elsewhere.
If you have this approval from Brundle, you know you're good. Of all the British commentators etc, Martin is the one i have most respect for and the one i'd listen to.
@@Lord_Lambert Hahaha, i'm having a royal laugh reading through all the delusional bullshit you spew all throughout this thread. It's incredibly funny to see how you go raging about every single positive comment about Verstappen under this video, proudly displaying how incredibly sore your butthole must be while making an absolute idiot of yourself. Thanks for the entertainment! Please continue posting as you do!
People remember him from when he was 18....Yes he can be cold and even ruthless from time to time but always fair and honest(imo). Seems like a genuine good person
Nah, he seems like a spoiled brat that would get mad when he doesn’t get what he wants, he feels entitled to things like position on the track, the entire track itself, etc. we are seeing the old him comeback now that Ferrari and mclaren are getting faster.
@patrickwhite4449 you've literally just described Lewis Hamilton mate, what happened to thanking everybody back at the factory after every race? Second they stop winning he switches? Sounds like something that someone would do when they're upset about how things are going, right?
@@patrickwhite4449losing is a part of the sport and no one likes it. Maybe you think Max is a salty loser because you haven’t seen him lose in a while and now you have something else to criticise
I'm so happy the whole narrative about Verstappen has changed at Sky... they used to show him little respect and were always criticizing him because he made life difficult for their golden boy, the past two seasons they have been nothing but praise when it comes to Verstappen.
There’s no way anyone can argue that his wins are a fluke anymore. He is easily one of the best and most determined drivers on the grid. Having the best car only serves to make him the most lethal driver out there
It's still just as bad as then. Damon Hill and Ted Kravitz are still the biggest haters out there. They always make up excuses so that they downplay Max's achievements. It's happening to this day.
What Martin really means is this 'I like the guy, but most Brits hate him. So that's why I will say that I like the guy and quickly add that some people think different and that is also OK'. You would almost think he's the presenter of a British TV station. To the British reading this: Sky Sports F1 is incredibly biased. But that's OK. So are all the channels when it comes to sportsmen of their country.
Martin was the first commentator (that I know of) who spotted Max's incredible talent from the get go. I think that Martin has a soft spot for Max (as a driver) and Max has a soft spot for Martin, as a commentator. I think they have had a very good relationship and respect throughout the years, so I am am not surprised that Max stopped and had a chat with Martin. That Martin came out, afterward with his opinion about Max, just shows the admiration he has for Max as an F1 driver, and as a person to talk to. The fact that he has to apologise in advance for his opinion, says a lot about the British F1 fan base that he, as a Sky Sports reporter, has to "please". I like Martin Brundle a lot, so thank you for giving us this video.
P.S Totally neutral here. Leave it to Martin to be the common sense man of Sky F1. A lot of LH44 fanboys (Simon, Ted, Craig, and Damon) hate videos like this
Martin neutral hahahahaahahahha he was totally against Vettel with all of the gang from Sky and is clearly a huge Hamilton fan just like his mate David (not the F1 driver, the fat one)
the fact he said: he is most likely not going to talk to me... But max still does. Man i hope the britishe press is a bit nicer to drivers from other countries in the future. Its getting a bit elitist and colonial empire like. You know snobbish.
IMO Martin is one of the most honest analysts in the sport. He is one of the only brits who, imo, doesn't have a slant towards his compatriots... Unlike the rest of Sky sports and the majority of F1 as a whole...
He calls it exactly as it is…It will be a very sad day when he decides to step back from his role commentating on the races and interviewing the drivers.
Exactly, but you see people’s opinion towards him change every now and then and that’s solely based on what he says that day. To be honest, I find him extremely fair overall with no bias to anyone in particular. He says it as it is. Truly one of the few people on the grid I’ll miss once he decides to leave.
I was lucky enough to be in Spa this year. Well the weather wasn’t great but in general F1 is always fantastic. What caught me by surprise, and I’m Dutch, was the large amount of British supporters for Max. I’ve been critical of British media and British fans in general of how they portray and react to Max. It was quite a surprise to see how many British fans there were supporting him. All the fan gear. Brundle is just stating his opinion and good on him. Max Verstappen, love him or loathe him, is an F1 phenomenon. He’s the absolute face of the current F1 era. If there’s one thing that stands out with him is his straightforward attitude. What you see is what you get. He’ll never go down as a person trying to be someone he’s not. Max will always be Max. Just one of the best drivers to have ever graced the sport.
A beer? I would love hearing his stories after seven or eight while sitting in folding chairs at some random unbleachered corner at Spa whilst waiting for the cars to come back around. He really is the best at the job in our current era.
Yes! Verstappen is Dutch. He is direct but honest. Two things we value the most in The Netherlands. It might sound brutal or rude for other countries sometimes, but this is the Dutch way of communication.
Really SICK and TIRED of all the haters: Max is a great driver and so is Lewis and so are many many more. Just focus on the NOW: Look what's happening now...Take Max out of the equation and you have the most diverse podiums I have ever seen. Is the RB19 good? Of course. Is it great? No, or else Sergio Perez would end up on the podium every single time. So PLEASE stop the hate and enjoy F1: A sports of excellence from teams, engineers and drivers.
@@huyra8019 I don't know him personally, and he keeps his private life private (as he should do). So I can't call him "boring" cause I don't know.......... as should you......
If the car is the quickest, Max never hesitate to give it the credit by telling u he has the quickest car. The reverse is also true, when he tells u the car is bad, it really is bad. He never takes credit from the car nor unfairly blame his mistakes on to the car.
Of course most people dislike Max. He's an honest straightforward guy and extremely successful in achieving his life's goals. Then remember that 99% of the people criticising him live a life of gut wrenching mediocrity.
The sad reality is that people can't handle blunt and honest people who are straight to the point and no nonsense. What you see is what you get from Max. Just accept it
😂 Well said. The guy is WC in F1. His GF is Kelly. He lives in Monaco. Travels the world making millions. And a clown, some comments above, calls him boring ... 😂
@@oisyn- Not really... People keep bringing up Max fanboys but I never see them anywhere online. Not being a lewis fan doesnt make you a Max fan by default.
@@Elvewizzy.I guess that's just your bubble? In mine, as a Max fan, I see a lot of fanboys hating on Lewis and misconstruing every single thing he says to prove their own point. It's appalling, frankly. As an example, this week Lewis talked about how it would be more satisfying to start with a shitty race car and develop it to the point where it is competative or even dominant, rather than stepping into a car that's dominant from the start. Most Max fanboys see this remark as Lewis trying to downplay Max's success, without realizing that he's actually saying that he wants what Max did, without taking away the importance of his succes. After all, Max didn't start out in a dominant car. If anything, Lewis is rationalizing his choice to stay with Mercedes, rather than jumping ship and into a car that can compete for the title. It has nothing to do with Max. And yet all the fanboys where quick to lash out at his remarks.
@@oisyn- IDK about that one and I'm quite active in the F1 socials sphere ( I know I know) I believe most people have issues with Lewis's virtue signalling and his off-track stuff that keeps making the news in that regard. I'm one of those people myself, i cannot stand the guy off track. My point being, having that opinion of the guy, doesnt automatically make me a toxic Max fan. It makes me a Max fan who simply dislikes someone.
I saw this live on television. This interview was after Martin completely was ignored by lewis hamilton for an interview. 🤮 "...I see your true colors..."
British always tries to avoid giving credits to max.. where they always gave full credit to hamilton "another master class by lewis". Since Max or Alonso, its "look at how dominant the car is"' another "design miracle from newey" whilst its actually a fun fact that Wache and his team who is the lead designer, not Newey. They constantly repeat Newey and Milton Keynes

Straight forward ? he was one of the Albon haters and said live on air get him out of that seat and put Perez in now, nothing like fueling more hate on the kid when he was in a bad place mentally, I'd kick Brundle out in a heartbeat if Murray Walker was still with us and capable at least we got entertainment with him.
We Love Max! he is the very best!! him and Alonso are the only 2 current drivers that can win in a slower car! Never seen Ham do that! But Max has beaten Ham on many occasions with a slower car!!! those are the facts and you cant change the facts!! the Truth i love the Truth WHY??? because the Truth is FINAL!
Anyone else remember when Max was the most popular driver on the grid before he was winning more regularly? Yeah, people hate the ones on top. It happens all the time.
No. Actually he spent quite a while moving in the braking zone, in front of Kimi amongst others. He's grown up now, but no he wasn't ever that popular.
@@ab8jeh he was massively popular, kid. Because he was so exciting to watch. He was the one everyone was saying "put him in a good car and he'd beat Hamilton easily." Now that he's winning he's somehow become mediocre and now Norris would beat him. The same thing will happen with Lando if he ever wins consistently
@@jonathanlewis13jl He was never the most popular driver on the grid but I do get your point. I think it all boils down to just wanting someone to earn it. When Hamilton was winning with only Bottas for competition it was great when Max could take him on, but he also had Rosberg for some years which was a battle. Now Max has no teammate yet again that can compete, and anyone will do - Norris or otherwise. And please don't refer to me as 'kid', I'm 43 years young.
I mean its not him personally, its just that the 2021 season rubbed some people the wrong way I feel especially the final 3-4 races…..where Lewis and max started ignoring each other after races, teams acting hostile, then Brazilian GP wing touching drama, Saudi GP quali and race brake check drama….again more drama for the Final race and MAX won the championship but it felt like not everyone agreed that he deserved it which took away from the moment….AGAIN MORE overspending budget DRAMA
And then Checo was asked to let max through during the 2022 season and he said “its not fair” Then checo gave strong competition for 2-3 races during the start of the 2023 season….people love seeing an underdog come up Miami GP 2023 max came from 10th on the grid and overtook checo on track, again making himself the villain Also him going for fastest laps by pitting on the last laps, just makes people want to say “its the car”
Max is a true champion and worthy role-model for the younger generation. Speaks his mind at all times, no time at all for underhanded or back-handed comments.
Max is an honest guy! We like honesty and Max is an amazing guy! And the best champion I have ever seen!!! 19 wins in a single season wOW and u know what he can win in a slower car never seen ham do that, only Max and Alonso can do that special breed!

This is indeed honesty. During the year, commenting on races and such, it's easy to be harsher than you mean sometimes or go a bit overboard with praise. But if you claim that someone is the driver you'd have a beer with, because they're the most interesting and honest... that's not a lie. Good on ya Martin.
Honesty is honestly hugely underrated, and the people that recognize its value are also very frequently fond of Max. And only when you've dealt with immense dishonest people will you know. Even for something small as drinking a beer with someone it's just that important. And Martin himself is also someone who isn't afraid to speak his mind, and has a pretty good record of calling things through all his experience.
Max is a 3 x world champion 17 w’s most points ever In a season longest win streak ever 10 highest winning percentage in a season RB 19 greatest car ever … Lewis Hamilton got passed by Pierre Gasley
I’m still amazed that Brundle and Sky F1 find it so hard to praise Max and what he has accomplished. They can’t say anything good about him, without first qualifying it with what they really think. Yet they bend over for a German team???
Brundle spoke out after the last race that he don't get the hatred against Max and praised the good job he did, Brundle is a changed man, i respect him for that.
I dont hate max...or lewis...i find the fanboys of each to be the annoying ones..they are both exceptionally talent'd and will both be remember'd as titans of the sport. Just like schumi just like senna just like Prost,mansell,fangio,stewart the list goes on. they both make mistakes (all be it rarely) they both are the 2 drivers you would hate to have as team mates.
Difference is that today great performance is punished. Once by reduced aero and CFD times and second by the ridiculous superlicense points cost. That did not happen back in the days. And I think it's total bollocks because when you do a good job at developing your car, you shouldn't be penalized.
where as i see where your coming from (seriously i do) been watching since 1995...I think thats all to do with the change of times in general...Aero didnt really matter as much as it does now back when i started watching...ground effect was still in its early stages back then you had not only multiple engine suppliers (more then today) but we also had way more different types of ENGINES....like in 1995 as an example... You had teams with V12's (Ferrari) teams with V10's (Mclaren, Jordan,Williams.Tyrrell just to name a few) and some teams couldnt fit V10's or afford them in some cases so had to settle with V8's (Minardi,Pacific,Forti Corse,Simtek) Back then the punishment of loss of tunnel time would of made no difference i think to any team...Now it is a setback... As for devloping their car and being punished for it..they went over the cost cap. it is a breech of rules and were punished accordingly...I personally think the cost cap is a load of shit myself...
I am a huge fan of Max, not only because I am half-Dutch but also because I love it when someone challenges the dominance in a sport. If I had a choice though, to grab a beer with Martin or Max, I'd choose Martin without hesitation. This is one of the few times we hear what he actually thinks, and there's so much more where that came from.
I kind of agree with him. Haven't been a max fan during his career, but the more he matures, the more I love hearing what he says. He tells it like it is, and now he usually does it with some wittiness and humor, earlier in his career I guess it came across differently to me. I'm not a red bull fan, but Max's personality is making him one of my favorite drivers. Being booed in Austin 'well I hope they all go home and have a lovely dinner' 😂😂😂 (or something to that effect)
@@sekhangati. Thank you for clarifying that those were not Americans. I was there at the hill going up to turn one and I remember a guy looking over to his gf or wife and saying, ‘they’ll be blaming us for that’
You're not wrong! I don't think you can blame him for his early behavior. He won his first F1 GP on his first day with RB at 18 years old! Of course he was going to be a maverick until he matured.
Our language (Dutch) most certainly offers lots of possibilities to speak eloquently and elegantly. It is our nature, culture, mindset to be more straight to the point, rather than circling around the "hot" topic.
But team LH keeps crying about the ''dangerous'' driving Max does while Lewis is crashing big time with team mates and old team mates...Lewis got his chance in those 7 times he got world champ, Max destroyed 20 records like it's nothing, this wil be remembered, that's why Prost is always my choice above Lewis...Winning is not all, how you win in what margin, consistency...Max did not leave any crumbs to pick up for other driver except for Singapore...How you think Max won races in a 3rd best car, being consistent as f*ck...Picking up wins that should have go to Mercedes or Ferrari...If Max has another good run in 2024 all the haters will learn Max is no mediocre driver.
I hate it too, especially as a ferrari fan, but I respect it. They got their car right for the current changes, just like merc,red bull,Renault and Ferrari did before them.
Extremely impressive from Max, attitude and also his genuineness in answering the questions. Lando similar recently too. In fact, I think most drivers are like that with Martin B, it's just that compared to 20-25 years ago it's so hard to get access to the drivers on the grid walk.
I love honesty period. And when it happens with athletes I gravitate towards them. I mean sure he gets pissed on the radio (not really much in the past few years) but they all do. They are all driving on their absolute edge and want to win. I’ve never thought anything bad about Max. They all interview well, and to be one of only 20 F1 drivers in the world they can act however they want!
I wouldn't say that. The way he always treated Michael Schumacher wasn't really nice. But, I appreciate that he appreciates Max' straight forward character. I agree with that.
I really believe that all the media should be off the track ten minutes before the start of the race. These drivers need time to maintain their concentration. I do think SKY tv and their pundits are turning it into a circus. It is all about them and nobody else.
Nah. They make money because it’s a circus. If I was a professional athlete the last thing I would complain about is the media AT the sport event. It’s what gets me paid. You can say no to track side interviews right before the race. Most drivers do. Max is just calm as a cucumber.
I don't quite get all the hate on Brundle for this one? Is he suppose to be a Hamilton fan....rooting for Norris....or just be being against Max...or what's the deal here ?? When i watch this video i get him talking to Max about todays GP And after that he goes on to say that he likes Max for being honest and easy to interview because he's straight forward in answers making Brundles job easier. Then he says something about understanding that Max might not be the popular one in the UK (i'm thinking 2021 and the crown steal here maybe). And then how wounderful it is that he can have his opinion on the matter and others can have theirs. What am i missing to understand why so many comments are hating on Brundle.... Normally i get it when people come crashing down on Damon Hill. He always seems very displeased when Max or RB does good and he has to talk about it. That is some funny shit to watch when you know this before he opens his mouth.....he is 100% NOT a Max or RedBull fan !!!! But still even he is entitled to his opinion.
British, especially the British press are required to be butthurt sissies that constantly seethe over Verstappen's dominance, Brundle is saying thats BS so they hate him for it.

I know we Brits have a bad reputation amongst the rest of the world when it comes to Max, but honestly, I totally agree with Martin. Verstappen and Alonso are my favourite drivers because they're total racers who don't virtue signal about the planet, veganism etc like Hamilton does. I'd love to see them battle each other in the same team or even in different teams but a 2 way fight for the championship.
Nah, you don't. If anything most of them brits have always been very positive and supportive towards Max, also back in the days when he got criticism for his agressive driving style.
Lewis "I care about all these issues and they're the most important thing in the world but the only time I've ever threatened not to race because of my ideology was when I couldn't wear my shiny rocks and I didnt even follow through on that" Hamilton Apparently: Shiny rocks > BLM, Climate change, murdering journalists, surveillance state, genocide, terrorist rocket attack on the title sponsor of an event withing eyesight of the track, women's rights, LGBT rights, etc, etc, etc
that a Brit needs to apologize because he thinks Max is okay says it all, it's pathetic.

Max is brutally honest and that is why some people don't like him.
Some people just can't handle the truth.
I would not call it the truth, rather 'bluntness' or unvarnished opinion. Max gives his opinion as he sees it. My or your opinion (or if you like, perspective on the truth) might be different. I am Dutch and can imagine that the direct, straightforward attitude, which Dutch people seem to be known for, is not for everyone. It works for me, but it can come across as unsensitive and arrogant, even when it is not meant that way. If both parties are ok with it then it makes for a great working relationship, because both sides do not feel any hesitation to give input, suggestions, or correct you instantly when they think you are wrong. On the other hand, if one is not used to this way of communication it can really cause tension in a working relationship.
Just like Piquet
@@KreshDraven6 I gather you are referring to his racist remarks. Those remarks have nothing to do with HOW something is communicated (directness, being straightforward), but rather WHAT is communicated. Racism is terrible, no matter if it is by ignorance or conviction.
One can be blunt and direct without using racist language. Being honest and blunt does not equal being a racist.
@@sixpackpilot "Max gives his opinion as he sees it." Everybody should, it helps to avoid misunderstandings. If you cannot cope with different opinions you are not mature.

Martin is a true racer, he's been around the sport long enough to look past the drama, nationalism and politics. Max is an exceptional talent of our time but, the press and the netflix fans don't want that narrative.
It’s ridiculous he even has to explain himself for that.

I don't think there's an ex-F1 driver who doesn't appreciate Max's talent. Maybe Damon, but he went 1 for 3 with the fastest car on the grid.
Well he would’ve won in 1994 had Schumacher not driven into him. He drove terribly in 1995
@@ben6993hill gave him the chance to do so...
It was Martin who spoke highly of Max right from the beginning in 2015. Takes one to know one.
I'm so happy the whole narrative about Verstappen has changed at Sky... they used to show him little respect and were always criticizing him because he made life difficult for their golden boy, the past two seasons they have been nothing but praise when it comes to Verstappen.
Croft insulted him almost every week. It got old quick.
I do agree that its not as bad as it was though
There’s no way anyone can argue that his wins are a fluke anymore. He is easily one of the best and most determined drivers on the grid. Having the best car only serves to make him the most lethal driver out there
30s of praise followed by 30mins of talk about merc
It's still just as bad as then.
Damon Hill and Ted Kravitz are still the biggest haters out there. They always make up excuses so that they downplay Max's achievements. It's happening to this day.
What Martin really means is this 'I like the guy, but most Brits hate him. So that's why I will say that I like the guy and quickly add that some people think different and that is also OK'. You would almost think he's the presenter of a British TV station. To the British reading this: Sky Sports F1 is incredibly biased. But that's OK. So are all the channels when it comes to sportsmen of their country.
I agree with Martin. Max is a true racer and he says it how it is. And at least he talks to you on the grid walk. Unlike a certain Mercedes driver.

You are now living rent free in all Hamilton fangirls' heads judging by how offended they are by your comment LOL
@@romeocutest reverse projection technique = Hamilton fans live rent free in your head. Welcome to the sport.
Martin was the first commentator (that I know of) who spotted Max's incredible talent from the get go. I think that Martin has a soft spot for Max (as a driver) and Max has a soft spot for Martin, as a commentator. I think they have had a very good relationship and respect throughout the years, so I am am not surprised that Max stopped and had a chat with Martin.
That Martin came out, afterward with his opinion about Max, just shows the admiration he has for Max as an F1 driver, and as a person to talk to. The fact that he has to apologise in advance for his opinion, says a lot about the British F1 fan base that he, as a Sky Sports reporter, has to "please". I like Martin Brundle a lot, so thank you for giving us this video.
And now Martin got fired for speaking the truth
@@LeperMessiah2?
Absolutely loved that interaction and opinion by Brundle. Brilliant, isnt an asshole like most at Sky

IMO Martin is one of the most honest analysts in the sport. He is one of the only brits who, imo, doesn't have a slant towards his compatriots... Unlike the rest of Sky sports and the majority of F1 as a whole...
He calls it exactly as it is…It will be a very sad day when he decides to step back from his role commentating on the races and interviewing the drivers.
Exactly, but you see people’s opinion towards him change every now and then and that’s solely based on what he says that day. To be honest, I find him extremely fair overall with no bias to anyone in particular. He says it as it is. Truly one of the few people on the grid I’ll miss once he decides to leave.
I was lucky enough to be in Spa this year. Well the weather wasn’t great but in general F1 is always fantastic. What caught me by surprise, and I’m Dutch, was the large amount of British supporters for Max. I’ve been critical of British media and British fans in general of how they portray and react to Max. It was quite a surprise to see how many British fans there were supporting him. All the fan gear.
Brundle is just stating his opinion and good on him. Max Verstappen, love him or loathe him, is an F1 phenomenon. He’s the absolute face of the current F1 era. If there’s one thing that stands out with him is his straightforward attitude. What you see is what you get. He’ll never go down as a person trying to be someone he’s not. Max will always be Max. Just one of the best drivers to have ever graced the sport.
The second he says starts saying something minor positive about max he is looking around like he might be killed 😂
Out of all the people on the grid Martin is probably the one I would want to have a beer with.
A beer? I would love hearing his stories after seven or eight while sitting in folding chairs at some random unbleachered corner at Spa whilst waiting for the cars to come back around. He really is the best at the job in our current era.
Yes! Verstappen is Dutch. He is direct but honest. Two things we value the most in The Netherlands. It might sound brutal or rude for other countries sometimes, but this is the Dutch way of communication.
Really SICK and TIRED of all the haters: Max is a great driver and so is Lewis and so are many many more.
Just focus on the NOW: Look what's happening now...Take Max out of the equation and you have the most diverse podiums I have ever seen.
Is the RB19 good? Of course.
Is it great? No, or else Sergio Perez would end up on the podium every single time.
So PLEASE stop the hate and enjoy F1: A sports of excellence from teams, engineers and drivers.

If the car is the quickest, Max never hesitate to give it the credit by telling u he has the quickest car. The reverse is also true, when he tells u the car is bad, it really is bad. He never takes credit from the car nor unfairly blame his mistakes on to the car.

Of course most people dislike Max. He's an honest straightforward guy and extremely successful in achieving his life's goals. Then remember that 99% of the people criticising him live a life of gut wrenching mediocrity.
So true and I think Max in some way reminds them of it, while other drivers pretend they give a fuck about others

@@Elvewizzy.I guess that's just your bubble? In mine, as a Max fan, I see a lot of fanboys hating on Lewis and misconstruing every single thing he says to prove their own point. It's appalling, frankly.
As an example, this week Lewis talked about how it would be more satisfying to start with a shitty race car and develop it to the point where it is competative or even dominant, rather than stepping into a car that's dominant from the start. Most Max fanboys see this remark as Lewis trying to downplay Max's success, without realizing that he's actually saying that he wants what Max did, without taking away the importance of his succes. After all, Max didn't start out in a dominant car. If anything, Lewis is rationalizing his choice to stay with Mercedes, rather than jumping ship and into a car that can compete for the title. It has nothing to do with Max. And yet all the fanboys where quick to lash out at his remarks.
@@oisyn- IDK about that one and I'm quite active in the F1 socials sphere ( I know I know)
I believe most people have issues with Lewis's virtue signalling and his off-track stuff that keeps making the news in that regard. I'm one of those people myself, i cannot stand the guy off track.
My point being, having that opinion of the guy, doesnt automatically make me a toxic Max fan. It makes me a Max fan who simply dislikes someone.
@@Elvewizzy. LOL you dont see them? Absolutely delusional.Theyre prolifically idiotic fucking everywhere. This comments section is proof of that.

@@jonathanlewis13jl He was never the most popular driver on the grid but I do get your point. I think it all boils down to just wanting someone to earn it.

And then Checo was asked to let max through during the 2022 season and he said “its not fair”
Then checo gave strong competition for 2-3 races during the start of the 2023 season….people love seeing an underdog come up

@@siccozandt6286 completely different car, era.

Difference is that today great performance is punished. Once by reduced aero and CFD times and second by the ridiculous superlicense points cost. That did not happen back in the days. And I think it's total bollocks because when you do a good job at developing your car, you shouldn't be penalized.
where as i see where your coming from (seriously i do) been watching since 1995...I think thats all to do with the change of times in general...Aero didnt really matter as much as it does now back when i started watching...ground effect was still in its early stages back then you had not only multiple engine suppliers (more then today) but we also had way more different types of ENGINES....like in 1995 as an example...
You had teams with V12's (Ferrari)
teams with V10's (Mclaren, Jordan,Williams.Tyrrell just to name a few)
and some teams couldnt fit V10's or afford them in some cases
so had to settle with V8's (Minardi,Pacific,Forti Corse,Simtek)
Back then the punishment of loss of tunnel time would of made no difference i think to any team...Now it is a setback...
As for devloping their car and being punished for it..they went over the cost cap. it is a breech of rules and were punished accordingly...I personally think the cost cap is a load of shit myself...
The fanboys are so childish and pathetic, its dissapointing for humans to see people behave the way they do.

This is one of the few times we hear what he actually thinks, and there's so much more where that came from.
I kind of agree with him. Haven't been a max fan during his career, but the more he matures, the more I love hearing what he says.
He tells it like it is, and now he usually does it with some wittiness and humor, earlier in his career I guess it came across differently to me.
I'm not a red bull fan, but Max's personality is making him one of my favorite drivers.
Being booed in Austin 'well I hope they all go home and have a lovely dinner' 😂😂😂 (or something to that effect)
"As long as I stand at the top, they can go back to their houses and have a nice evening." - Max Verstappen
That was after being booed by Checo fans.
@@sekhangati. Thank you for clarifying that those were not Americans. I was there at the hill going up to turn one and I remember a guy looking over to his gf or wife and saying, ‘they’ll be blaming us for that’
You're not wrong!
I don't think you can blame him for his early behavior. He won his first F1 GP on his first day with RB at 18 years old! Of course he was going to be a maverick until he matured.
And thats just it. Max came in as a CHILD. His maturation given his circumstances is incredible.
Love the nodding when Lando is mentioned. After all the simracing, these guys want to duke it out irl as well :)
My life will be complete when Max, Lando, and Fernando compete for a Le Mans victory.
Our language is functional not elegant. This made us direct in conversation some use it as an excuse to be rude.
Huh. Dutch, I presume?
@@PanagiotisLafkaridis correct.
Our language (Dutch) most certainly offers lots of possibilities to speak eloquently and elegantly. It is our nature, culture, mindset to be more straight to the point, rather than circling around the "hot" topic.
wat lul je nou
Max had fixed everything I disliked about his actions by the winter 2021/2022. Fully happy with his in-car and out-of-car behaviour in 2022-2023.
But team LH keeps crying about the ''dangerous'' driving Max does while Lewis is crashing big time with team mates and old team mates...Lewis got his chance in those 7 times he got world champ, Max destroyed 20 records like it's nothing, this wil be remembered, that's why Prost is always my choice above Lewis...Winning is not all, how you win in what margin, consistency...Max did not leave any crumbs to pick up for other driver except for Singapore...How you think Max won races in a 3rd best car, being consistent as f*ck...Picking up wins that should have go to Mercedes or Ferrari...If Max has another good run in 2024 all the haters will learn Max is no mediocre driver.
@@mushie8447 If they haven't learned yet I fear for their ability to learn the 4th time around.....
@@mushie8447 In 2023, he beat Sergio so hard it was brutal. Nobody can reasonably think Max is a mediocre driver now. No need to wait for 2024.
I hate seeing max winning all the time but you can't argue with the absolute domination. And seems like a nice bloke too, just competitive
I hate it too, especially as a ferrari fan, but I respect it. They got their car right for the current changes, just like merc,red bull,Renault and Ferrari did before them.
The best part of pre race is Martin doing the grid walk.
Much as I dislike this (and other) periods of dominance, I like Max as a guy. I’d rather a hotly contested championship but often F1 isn’t like that.

Max is focused and a great interview.
Extremely impressive from Max, attitude and also his genuineness in answering the questions. Lando similar recently too. In fact, I think most drivers are like that with Martin B, it's just that compared to 20-25 years ago it's so hard to get access to the drivers on the grid walk.
If you're impressed it just shows you haven't paid attention for all these years, as Max has always been like this.
I love honesty period. And when it happens with athletes I gravitate towards them. I mean sure he gets pissed on the radio (not really much in the past few years) but they all do. They are all driving on their absolute edge and want to win. I’ve never thought anything bad about Max. They all interview well, and to be one of only 20 F1 drivers in the world they can act however they want!
Martin is class
I wouldn't say that. The way he always treated Michael Schumacher wasn't really nice. But, I appreciate that he appreciates Max' straight forward character. I agree with that.
I really believe that all the media should be off the track ten minutes before the start of the race. These drivers need time to maintain their concentration. I do think SKY tv and their pundits are turning it into a circus. It is all about them and nobody else.
@@user-bl4xm6nq3v its more f1tv than sky rn….sky people often get sidelined by celebs who don’t know sky
Nah. They make money because it’s a circus. If I was a professional athlete the last thing I would complain about is the media AT the sport event. It’s what gets me paid. You can say no to track side interviews right before the race. Most drivers do. Max is just calm as a cucumber.
it was 15 min until race
I don't quite get all the hate on Brundle for this one?
Is he suppose to be a Hamilton fan....rooting for Norris....or just be being against Max...or what's the deal here ??
When i watch this video i get him talking to Max about todays GP
And after that he goes on to say that he likes Max for being honest and easy to interview because he's straight forward in answers making Brundles job easier.
Then he says something about understanding that Max might not be the popular one in the UK (i'm thinking 2021 and the crown steal here maybe).
And then how wounderful it is that he can have his opinion on the matter and others can have theirs.
What am i missing to understand why so many comments are hating on Brundle....
Normally i get it when people come crashing down on Damon Hill.
He always seems very displeased when Max or RB does good and he has to talk about it.
That is some funny shit to watch when you know this before he opens his mouth.....he is 100% NOT a Max or RedBull fan !!!!
But still even he is entitled to his opinion.
British, especially the British press are required to be butthurt sissies that constantly seethe over Verstappen's dominance, Brundle is saying thats BS so they hate him for it.
thank God the video cut before Damian Lewis's "singing"
😂
He's a phenomenal actor but yeah, I didn't know he was a singer too and maybe for good reason lol
England is not the world Mr. Brundal.
Brundle ... and here you are communicating in English.
@@theGoogol Here we are making an effort to communicate in a foreign language. English is for most of us not our own language. Question for you: how many languages do you speak fluently?
@@hansolo2121 : Nederlands natuurlijk, English at 98% proficiency und Deutsch aber die letste nicht so gut. Still learning Spanish.
P.S.: Names are not -lingual- language, perse.
@@theGoogol , you should thank me , as I am speaking your language in the first place, do you even remotely know any other languages apart from your native one.
@@theGoogol that is because just like Dutch ,English is a Latin based language. There is nothing to brag about.
Some people 😂 like a couple of million Brits
…who somehow still think they’re the center of the universe
@@yeoldeyoungin9745 They have, ever since the queen was a thing
@@Tomekkplk They’re not at all and I’m 20 years they won’t even have wales 🤣
Why can’t we all just treat each other’s drivers like how we are attached to our favourites
Totally agree with you. Respect from the fans tot the drivers is not how it should be anymore. Booing them is not what they deserve. All of them risking their life and are true heroes.
Thanks for posting
There's the truth and there's personal bias. Opinions are not all equal.
I like Brundle as an interviewer, more than I like Verstappen's answers, usually. Brundle has an unfortunate job of grid-interviewing, which seldom has good content.... but his knowledge, and also a co-commentator at Sky , is perfect enough.
I hope they keep him on.
Brundle being honest and Max is great but i don't think he'd go the boozer with him.
he is always calm. he is always focused, aware. good example.
Max made few mistakes and won over and over.. simple as that. Other drivers had the lead and crashed, I wont name names...
« I know some of you have a different view to that… » cough… Ted Kravitz…
There are wrong opinions.. it's when they're opinions on facts. Like "Max has no personality" is objectively false. "I don't vibe with Max's personality" is the opinion I think those people are looking for.
Max is chill af I don’t understand what people are mad about
Everyone has random outbursts but most don’t win the race and the season after them😂
I've found it's mostly fans of other drivers needing an excuse why their driver is better. Esp the LH44 cult. I love Lewis but man, so many of his fans 😬
@@jolttsp you're right. All you have to do is ignore the fan comments no matter who you support and the toxicity in the sport is almost gone
@@KCJbomberFTW there are people who like fake celebrities, who are pampered and they pamper wokes like pamperham. :D He gets pampered and he pampers the woke, with saying fake stuff. What he doesnt think in reality
@@Swarmah: You have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. In fact, you’re not saying anything, you’re just babbling like a little kid.
I know we Brits have a bad reputation amongst the rest of the world when it comes to Max, but honestly, I totally agree with Martin. Verstappen and Alonso are my favourite drivers because they're total racers who don't virtue signal about the planet, veganism etc like Hamilton does. I'd love to see them battle each other in the same team or even in different teams but a 2 way fight for the championship.
Nah, you don't. If anything most of them brits have always been very positive and supportive towards Max, also back in the days when he got criticism for his agressive driving style.
@@djoooop you're very blind then lol
I've never felt biased towards any drivers due to nationalism. I like the good characters, and Max is already a Kimi rival in that regard.
Lewis "I care about all these issues and they're the most important thing in the world but the only time I've ever threatened not to race because of my ideology was when I couldn't wear my shiny rocks and I didnt even follow through on that" Hamilton
Apparently:
Shiny rocks > BLM, Climate change, murdering journalists, surveillance state, genocide, terrorist rocket attack on the title sponsor of an event withing eyesight of the track, women's rights, LGBT rights, etc, etc, etc
