Glad to see someone who support English drivers , gives the respect where is due . I started watching f1 on any other possible channel but sky . They are disgrace
I think one of the most insane thing Max ever achieved is that he made Toto regret his recruitment strategy. A rival team, is regretting that they did not hand a drive to a 17 years old, that hasn’t even driven in F2. The fact that this is considered a mistake by Toto shows you how insane Max is.
Hindsight is always 20/20... The year is 2015, Mercedes had a three-time world champion driver and a guy who had beaten said champion in eleven races over the previous two seasons (and went on to become champion himself the following year), meaning he was no slouch either. There was neither a place in the team nor a reason to hire Verstappen, this was never in the cards. And dare I say it, Lewis Hamilton's career may have taken a very different turn had Wolff sacked Nico Rosberg and replaced with Max Verstappen for 2016.
@@africanpenguin3104 Now is the perfect time. Signing Antonelli is the right call since no driver on the grid can hold a candle to Max Verstappen. Not saying Antonelli can... but there's only one way to find out. ;)
Max would have won 2021 by a mile if Lewis had not tried to kill him in Silverstone . Let's not forget that Nico retired because Hamilton was to dangerous to drive against
Don't forget Hungary lol. Between those two incidents and the Baku puncture, Verstappen making it to Abu Dhabi equal on points shows how good he was that season. Not to mention he lead like double the laps of Hamilton iirc
@@Evarakeusby the way Hamilton is clean driver as compared to max. Max also do same what Hamilton did in silverstone . Few race before, you can see how max dive inside of lando..
I don't know about that. He can get the double crown though. He shows negative interest in oval racing compared to other top line 4 wheel disciplines, he does them on iRacing but he is kinda mid ngl. It's not his strongest discipline, he's much better at sportscars.
"Simply Lovely" at the end is the boot into Lando 😂 Max is a Living Legend! ... Goat of all goats! A "This is Sparta" moment!! 2016-->Max goes from P16 to P3 at Interlagos in wet conditions. 2024--> Max goes from P17 to P1 at Interlagos in wet conditions. Masterclass drive then and today. The 4th WDC is his. WEEK AGO: Jos Verstappen 🇳🇱: "Is there a conflict of interest?" ... Verstappen Sr went on to add that "there were a few stewards present who don't like him anyway". ... The stewards panel in Mexico City comprised former F1 driver Johnny Herbert 🇬🇧; experienced motorsports executive and official Tim Mayer, who is also the son of former McLaren team principal Teddy; lawyer Loïc Bacquelaine, and experienced Mexican official Alfonso Oros Trigueros ... Verstappen Sr. 🇳🇱 added: "The FIA should take a good look at the composition of the stewards, who they put there and whether there is any appearance of a conflict of interest. For example, former drivers who have more sympathy for certain drivers or riders". OK let's see about the British 🇬🇧 media's history in this sport just in the last 3 decades portraying "bad guys": Schumacher 🇩🇪 Alonso 🇪🇸 Raikkonen 🇫🇮 Massa 🇧🇷 Rosberg 🇩🇪 Vettel 🇩🇪 Senna 🇧🇷 Verstappen 🇳🇱 Anytime when some other nationality driver challenges British drivers then they are "bad", "dirty", "cunning", "misusing the rules", "cheater", "dangerous" etc. As of the 2024 São Paulo Grand Prix, a total of 1,122 F1 World Championship races have been held in 34 countries. And Max belongs to the 5 out of all 1122 GP F1 Races = 0,4% ... on top of all that Max achieved 17 fastest laps under severe conditions, more than 1 second faster than the second fastest ... and Max not making any mistakes is "not having racing skills" ?
You are correct regarding the bias of British media. Lets get scientific about it: Research called : “Reconstructing British identity: Formula One, Michael Schumacher and the British Press at the turn of the century”, published in 2023 Research by : Dr Corinne Painter, Associate Professor of Intercultural Studies at the University of Leeds Summary: “Formula 1, according to a lot of British people, is part of the British identity. If that sport is dominated by an outsider it devaluates that same identity” There, no more fan speculation or wild accusations, it exists in F1. Quite logical if you think about it, it is not a big mystery and lots of people and cultures have bias of course. It's just that this research has shown this to be a thing in F1 as well, specifically. So any British person or journalist/media denying this bias is lying and/or fooling themselves.
What a BS that he took the title away in 2021. You cannot look at 1 race, but the whole season. Remember for instance he won the most races, lead the most laps, and was run out of the track by LH who took 25 point and caused a lot of damage for RB (cost cap!!!). When MV won that race of became second, or when LH got a real penalty, the last race did not matter anymore because he already was WC. MV is the one and only right winner of 2021.
We can also not forget the 2021 baku. Where Pirelli messed up and max had a tire blown to pieces. He would have won that race and thus have more points to not have it come down to that last lap.
Funny you never hear Brits talk about the real attempt at robbery in AD21. The real attempt at robbery was not allowing backmarkers to overtake right away. A call vettel, alonso and (ofc) max called out. A call EVEN Bono was surprised by. When they realized they could never ever explain that thievery, they (rightfully) corrected that in the way they did. If they done it correctly right away then the outcome would have been the same but LH44 fans would have had nothing to cry about except bad merc strategy and luck.
After Silverstone and Hungary that year and the miracle of Abu Dhabi I think Max's 2021 WDC is the most impressive of all time, contrary to what his critics say.
It's a shame the FIA had to mess up Saudi 2021, just to have Lewis catch up (and there were many unfair decisions even leading up to that race). If they hadn't, Max would've already been champion there, and we wouldn't still be talking about the Abu Dhabi mess. But even if they scrapped that last race, Max still would have been the champion. It's tiresome that people drone on about him being 'gifted' the championship.
Exactly! Masi tried to manipulate the race outcome making it impossible for Max, he was trying to hand the Championship to Hamilton basically, but red bull recognized his manipulation and took him by the balls, so the whole World could see this(apart from blind clueless Hamilton fans of course), so Masi had to restore justice. Masi should've restarted the race at least a lap or two earlier.
THIS. And what people also dont know is that it was agreed beforehand by the teams and racecontrol-FIA that the race would end on a green flag and under no circumstance under yellow.
The problem with Max is that I generally believe he is better than Lewis and much much more ruthless. He does not let off at any time ever. Matt & Tommy mentioned way back that if by chance Max ever got a car as good as the W11, he would literally destroy Formula 1. The RB19 was that car..... Only Max and possibly a prime Michael pull off 2021 & 2024
To be fair Lewis also won without the fastest car, multiple races and also the Championship. But the only Championship he won not having the outright best car was 2008 against quite weak rival Felipe Massa(and even that Championship wasn't without controversy). Ferrari was without doubt the fastest car but only in dry warm track. That car has a built in weakness in terms of tire warm, this is why it was very poor performing car in wet cool conditions. What was unique about 2008 season is the amount of wet sessions, qualifying and races, which massively played into Lewis and Mclaren favor that year. He was much better driver than Massa anyways. But against someone as good as Max he would never be capable to win without the fastest car.
Max as a driver and person reminds me the most of the old champions like Senna, Schumacher, Mansel, that I've watched back in the 80's, 90 and early 2000's. Relentless, in your face on and of the track. He bowes to noone, he never gaves up and he believes he is the best that ever were, but he's not bragging about it. To withstand all the pressure from media, other teams managers, FIA and other cry babies on the track with performance like that in Brasil - What a guy. People say that Diamonds are made under pressure and if you listen to other drivers like Gasly and Charles about Max when they were racing as young kids, boy did Joss put a pressure on max every day od his life. When Max finished second in the race Jos was screaming at Max infront of other drivers "You are a looser, find your own way home" and drove away. So just being able to make it trough that - Max is a real diamond.
And that's why I clicked. You really can't think anything wrong with Verstappen. You just can't! He defines what F1 should be right now. Even if he gets 20sec in penalties and community service for swearing, his stance doesn't change one bit. Cry about it!
Zach, only your boy LH has caused another driver a 51G off-road excursion. That was dangerous. Max has never done this yet. What a load of nonsense you poor Brits need to peddle. Max, like others before him, takes it too the limit because that is what it takes to be WC. As for AD21, Mercedes blew the opportunity to put LH on fresh softs because the RB pit wall is the best in the business. Strategy also plays a role in F1 and as in Sao Paolo 24 it played its' role again.
Watch the whole video please! I’m not a Lewis Hamilton or Mercedes fan and I actually give praise to verstappen the entire video after the first 50 seconds as he is a brilliant driver!
Suppose Max would have driven the Mercedes next to Bottas for 4 years i.s.o. Lewis (and then switched to RB): HE would have had 7 world titles now, going for 8. And Lewis would have been stuck at 3... But, like Max says: If my mother had balls...
exactly blame Williams for causing a red flag , blame Masi for his weird decision to only let lapped car pass between Lewis and MAx blame FIA also for not having the rule in place you must stay behind the lead car under SC but only do not overtake instead. But you can't blame Max for grabbing the golden opportunity handled on a silver platter to him. Hence Merc was so dominant at that moment that Lewis gained on him on the straight in the last lap while on much older tyre's. I fully understand that was extremely painful to experience as Lewis supporter but to hate Max for taking that opportunity still 3 years later is silly. Besides i still think any other driver then Max would have failed to pass Hamilton on that last lap it wasn't as easy as Max made it look like.
😅😅😅😅😂 Max toke away the championship from Lewis? In the first corner ,FIA MADE ALLREADY THE FIRST MISTAKE, HAMTON GOING OF TRACK GAINING ADVANTAHE, FIA DID NADA, SO MAX WAS LUCKEY IN THE END, 😂😂😂😂
I always said that Lewis lost 2021 not at Abu Dhabi but at Baku. Max was out, and Lewis could gain a good 25 if not 26 points on him... and he toggled the magic, locking up in turn one and finished last of the finishers.. Had he taken those points, Abu Dhabi would have been a statistic as Max would have had to win that one with fastest lap...
Lewis is a very much overrated driver since his car didn't have a 20% power surplus he never became a world champion since! Max beat him in 2021 but also ever since. Lewis was very lucky driving this dominant Mercedes for about 8 years! He even lost to his teammate Nico Rosburg. Max became world champion in the third or second best car! I noticed that among the greatest drivers of all time Lewis has been hardly mentioned except from the English "Rupert Murdoch press"!
Max won't go until he physically can. He wants other titles in other catagories too. If F1 gets boring, or the cars become bad, or he just doesn't like it.
The stats don't lie he is the goat at 27 years old. Lando is finished as a championship driver . He had everything going his way since Miami and the gap got bigger . 15 races and lost points
The praise that you have given Max is extra special as you are talking as an F1 fan & not as a Hamilton fan. Just for the record, we agree that the Mercedes team management deliberately shafted Hamilton when they ignored Hamilton's team mate advice & recruited Russell to undermine Hamilton & destroy the Mercedes teams reputation. So far, Russell has the historic record of costing his team the most in valuable championship points and car repairs. Why any team, especially the Mercedes team, would want Russell to drive for them, defies belief.
Thank you all so much for the support on this video!! For all of you to help push this video up to almost 20,000 views RIGHT NOW IS JUST INCREDIBLE! Thank you all for taking the time out of your day to watch this video!
You're just proving that even though Max has shown he is the best driver around you are prepared, like the rest of Sky and English media, to dismiss his talent because he's not British. I heard a Sky commentator talk about Max, who was a two time champion at this point, as "showing promise as a driver". Showing promise!!! It just sticks in their throat to acknowledge greatness.
I recon if redbull had another driver in 2022 and 2023 instead of max, that they would have still won the championship. I can understand the arguments for 2021 and 2024, but the other seasons the redbull was so vastly superior that I recon other drivers could have comfortably won the championship. Maybe not absolutely destroyed the competition like he did, but they would have had a very good shot. I’m saying this as a max/RBR fan
2021 again? 🙄 The FIA race stewards MADE A DECISION! Max simply did as he was instructed by the FIA! What would you have Max do, intentionally NOT pass Lewis because of what...ethics? 🤣
Im so glad you stayed for the whole video! I thought the way I formatted would be a little bit risky but im glad you stuck with it until I showed actually what this video was going to be about and I thank you for that!
@zachf1417 I'm also glad I watched to the end. It really started a bit on the wrong foot and I was wondering what was this all about!! Thank you for one of the best Max videos on TH-cam. Greetings from South Africa!! 🥰 🥰
Charles was saying after the race that the driver was the difference in Brazil. Thing is, give him a trash can and 10 races not winning anything, he would still hang on to the lead and clench the championship...That is sheer skill, driven person who was born to be on top...
Well played! A friend gave me a link to a video of Button's drive from worst to first in the rain in the 2011 Canadian Grand Prix. When my friend heard that there would probably be rain for the Brazil GP, he said Max could win despite starting 17th. We watched the race together, and I could hardly believe my eyes. AWESOME!
Simply a class of it's own...... Not one F1 driver ever until today showed this degree of control. He is a kind of a awkward person when thing not going right but there is no way to deny his talent and perfomance. He could be more extravert not only direct and to the point. He cannot talk to a group like Lewis can for example but he is still growing. He is a nice guy to talk to and funny and honest but he does not have the class of a gentle man (yet) and you know what he could care less lol......
He wasn't really lucky with that red flag. They knew the rain would come, he had better tyres than the others because he hadn't been pushing (he stayed well behind at that point in the race, preserving his tyres) and anyone could have figured out that in such bad weather the stewards would call it or someone would F up. It was calculated.
Let's not forget Perez helped Max win his first championship. Respect for Max of course, but also respect to Perez who is brave enough to be the teammate of Max for many years.
Higher win percentage than Lewis Hamilton when he had such a dominant car for so long? That just makes it painfully obvious Max is the superior driver. I have held off saying this for a while but I really think Max is reaching greatest of all time status.
Lewis was beaten by his teammates on several occasions . Nico Russel X2 if he wins this year which he probably will and Russel had a race win deleted for no fault of his own
one thing that impresses so much is that he never shows signs of mental pressure. he's consistent like a metronom. lando or charles make mistakes at least from time to time. but not max. astonishing.
As an australian i kind of went through what you brits going through now 😂😂😂 I did not like him but knew how good he was. Over last few years i really grown to like the guy ,maybe i am a fan now ? I supposed the be an OP fan arent i? Yet i cant help but cheer for this guy now. Maybe because he is so good he deserves it?
Honestly I can’t it as well how is he only 27 years old!!! I know he’s said he wants to leave the sport potentially sooner than we think but if he did stay he’s got minimum of another 10+ years left in him!
Honest question please. Do you think if Redbull put a British driver in the second car British media biassed would have no choice but to support them better.. ????
There would be even more hate on them and Max, for favouring Max at the cost of the said British driver… even if that driver was subpar and worse than Latifi
And i ..... DO NOT LIKE THE BIASED BRITISH F1 PRESS. With number 1 being Johny Herbert on the not like list. (Or should i say the ENGLISH F1 press?) You British simply do not understand what Verstappen is all about, just because Dutch 'culture' is different then yours. Finding him arrogant and such. Well, British culture is NOT the norm in the world, let me tell you that.
I agree but max is not guilty it is FIA and redbull max is just a used boy whit bad temper and dangers on the road he is not the 1 of the greatste pls stop it they made him not organic 😊
So let somebody explain to me,i mean people from uk,why cry baby was robbed 2021,just wondering and reminding,hungary, silverstone 2021,that max was not pushed out of the track,last race will not be so important for championship
No I agree Verstappen deserved the championship that season if you consider the whole seasons stats! I think in the video when I say 'took away' its more because Lewis Hamilton thought he had it in the bag and then verstappen came back and won in that sort of sense!
Hi Zach. I think when i see the intro of the video, you have been brainwashed by the Brittish media LOL. i've celebrated all lewis his chamionships, Sebastian his championships, Fernando his Championships, Shumacher and Senna. And offcourse Max. can i ask you: You as a Brit always had multiple countrymen in the sport. As a Dutchman it has been very very little... So, what seems to be the problem? Can't they have it when others from other country's are better!? It's not country vs country ... its driver vs driver, constructer vs constructer. That just made me wonder. That Said: If Lando did a better job, he could become champion, he just cant coop with the pressure like Max can, i dont think any other driver can... Max Verstappen just gets better when you put the pressure on..
It's just too bad for u.... Max is way way better than Lewis, even though u hate it. LH is over the top & going down & down, please accept this fac[ & reality.
he didny take away hamilton 8th championship. he just do this thing in Abu Dhabi. he is the RECEIVER of the abu dhabi P1 . ......you need to check again history who took away hamilton championship.
Be Honest! How many people did I trick in the first minute thinking this would be a ranting video about Verstappen???
nah I know you are better than that

I fully understand that was extremely painful to experience as Lewis supporter but to hate Max for taking that opportunity still 3 years later is silly. Besides i still think any other driver then Max would have failed to pass Hamilton on that last lap it wasn't as easy as Max made it look like.
😅😅😅😅😂 Max toke away the championship from Lewis? In the first corner ,FIA MADE ALLREADY THE FIRST MISTAKE, HAMTON GOING OF TRACK GAINING ADVANTAHE, FIA DID NADA, SO MAX WAS LUCKEY IN THE END, 😂😂😂😂
I always said that Lewis lost 2021 not at Abu Dhabi but at Baku. Max was out, and Lewis could gain a good 25 if not 26 points on him... and he toggled the magic, locking up in turn one and finished last of the finishers.. Had he taken those points, Abu Dhabi would have been a statistic as Max would have had to win that one with fastest lap...
If. The most irrelevant word in sports.
Wait wasn't baku 21 taken by Pérez?
Lewis is a very much overrated driver since his car didn't have a 20% power surplus he never became a world champion since!
Max beat him in 2021 but also ever since. Lewis was very lucky driving this dominant Mercedes for about 8 years! He even lost to his teammate Nico Rosburg.
Max became world champion in the third or second best car!
I noticed that among the greatest drivers of all time
Lewis has been hardly mentioned except from the English "Rupert Murdoch press"!
Max won't go until he physically can. He wants other titles in other catagories too. If F1 gets boring, or the cars become bad, or he just doesn't like it.
lets see what happens! Im very excited to see when we all look back in 15-20 years seeing just how many more records he can break!
The stats don't lie he is the goat at 27 years old.
Lando is finished as a championship driver .
He had everything going his way since Miami and the gap got bigger .
15 races and lost points
The praise that you have given Max is extra special as you are talking as an F1 fan & not as a Hamilton fan.
Just for the record, we agree that the Mercedes team management deliberately shafted Hamilton when they ignored Hamilton's team mate advice & recruited Russell to undermine Hamilton & destroy the Mercedes teams reputation.
So far, Russell has the historic record of costing his team the most in valuable championship points and car repairs.
Why any team, especially the Mercedes team, would want Russell to drive for them, defies belief.
Thank you all so much for the support on this video!! For all of you to help push this video up to almost 20,000 views RIGHT NOW IS JUST INCREDIBLE! Thank you all for taking the time out of your day to watch this video!
Talent, hardwork, team support, and opportunity defines brazil’s race, hands down one of the best race i have witnesses
Every champion is hated, but still adored
You're just proving that even though Max has shown he is the best driver around you are prepared, like the rest of Sky and English media, to dismiss his talent because he's not British. I heard a Sky commentator talk about Max, who was a two time champion at this point, as "showing promise as a driver". Showing promise!!! It just sticks in their throat to acknowledge greatness.
00:52 you'll like this part!
After Brasil.. if you are not convinced Max is a worthy great of the sport.. you do not want to be convinced.
I recon if redbull had another driver in 2022 and 2023 instead of max, that they would have still won the championship. I can understand the arguments for 2021 and 2024, but the other seasons the redbull was so vastly superior that I recon other drivers could have comfortably won the championship. Maybe not absolutely destroyed the competition like he did, but they would have had a very good shot. I’m saying this as a max/RBR fan
But “would have had a very good shot” is *not* the same as “would have still won the championship”. Leclerc beat Perez in 2022 🤷♂️
norris is top midfield nothing more watch out for piastri think he will be champion one day
Agreed Piastri seems far more driven by inside forces like Verstappen and the other greats.
2021 again? 🙄 The FIA race stewards MADE A DECISION! Max simply did as he was instructed by the FIA! What would you have Max do, intentionally NOT pass Lewis because of what...ethics? 🤣
Because we are Dutch. never give up.
Amen 👊
Gasley and ocon drove rings around lando and Russel they were 5 seconds a lap faster before the red flag
😂😂 so many Max haters i love it and Max Verstappen loves it even more.
Click Bait 😉
Guilty as charged!
@@zachf1417but a good one 😂
Stunning and honest and enthusiastic video!! You gave me a bit of a sour taste the first few minutes but then................... ❤❤
Im so glad you stayed for the whole video! I thought the way I formatted would be a little bit risky but im glad you stuck with it until I showed actually what this video was going to be about and I thank you for that!
@zachf1417 I'm also glad I watched to the end. It really started a bit on the wrong foot and I was wondering what was this all about!! Thank you for one of the best Max videos on TH-cam. Greetings from South Africa!! 🥰 🥰
The smallest violin in the world for whiners :)
Charles was saying after the race that the driver was the difference in Brazil. Thing is, give him a trash can and 10 races not winning anything, he would still hang on to the lead and clench the championship...That is sheer skill, driven person who was born to be on top...
Verstappen only lost in 2017 because of his many dnfs compared to Daniel
Technical DNFs mostly
@ Yes, correct. Most were Renault engine dnf’s
Shit shit shit, you tricked me 😤
But you’re not wrong 👍
Well played!
A friend gave me a link to a video of Button's drive from worst to first in the rain in the 2011 Canadian Grand Prix. When my friend heard that there would probably be rain for the Brazil GP, he said Max could win despite starting 17th. We watched the race together, and I could hardly believe my eyes. AWESOME!
That red flag was not luck. It was inevitable.
Im confident max will nailed it in Vegas , viva Las Vegas ,
4:38 that’s a wild statement to make because max could’ve ended up anywhere and all those drivers wouldn’t be at the same teams I’d say
Simply a class of it's own...... Not one F1 driver ever until today showed this degree of control. He is a kind of a awkward person when thing not going right but there is no way to deny his talent and perfomance. He could be more extravert not only direct and to the point. He cannot talk to a group like Lewis can for example but he is still growing. He is a nice guy to talk to and funny and honest but he does not have the class of a gentle man (yet) and you know what he could care less lol......
He wasn't really lucky with that red flag. They knew the rain would come, he had better tyres than the others because he hadn't been pushing (he stayed well behind at that point in the race, preserving his tyres) and anyone could have figured out that in such bad weather the stewards would call it or someone would F up. It was calculated.
👍👍👍👍👍👍stats don’t lie
I can definitely tell which people commented based on the first minute of this video. Lmao.
😂😂😂
Let's not forget Perez helped Max win his first championship. Respect for Max of course, but also respect to Perez who is brave enough to be the teammate of Max for many years.
The only logical reason Perez is still at Redbull is because they need more wind tunnel time.
You don't have to like him, but you can give your honest judgement on his driving skills.
just respect his performance.
In 2016 brazil he overtakes a faster Merc car.
Higher win percentage than Lewis Hamilton when he had such a dominant car for so long? That just makes it painfully obvious Max is the superior driver. I have held off saying this for a while but I really think Max is reaching greatest of all time status.
Lewis was beaten by his teammates on several occasions .
Nico
Russel X2 if he wins this year which he probably will and Russel had a race win deleted for no fault of his own
You painted a very clear picture. Well done.
2021 always about the last race but what about Lewis kicking out max in Silverstone, crazy…
Dont matter if like him or not max skills are legit.in Brazil he showed why he is well earnd champ
one thing that impresses so much is that he never shows signs of mental pressure. he's consistent like a metronom. lando or charles make mistakes at least from time to time. but not max. astonishing.
Honestly the only proof we have that he is not a robot is his brilliant comments in the press😂
may I add the 17!!!!!fastests laps?
I do like Max Verstappen. Especially when he shows the rest how to drive in wet conditions when craftsmanship is required.
Te only reason to not call Verstappen THE GOAT, is out of respect for Senna and the likes.
As an australian i kind of went through what you brits going through now 😂😂😂
I did not like him but knew how good he was. Over last few years i really grown to like the guy ,maybe i am a fan now ? I supposed the be an OP fan arent i? Yet i cant help but cheer for this guy now. Maybe because he is so good he deserves it?
crazy that max haven't reach his peak still is monster
Honestly I can’t it as well how is he only 27 years old!!! I know he’s said he wants to leave the sport potentially sooner than we think but if he did stay he’s got minimum of another 10+ years left in him!
2025 gonna be interesting
Honest question please. Do you think if Redbull put a British driver in the second car British media biassed would have no choice but to support them better.. ????
There would be even more hate on them and Max, for favouring Max at the cost of the said British driver… even if that driver was subpar and worse than Latifi
World title 4 incoming 😎💪
Would you have max drive for McLaren?
100% without a doubt
Not gonna lie... you definitely had me in the first half
Very nice video. Proper respect 👊🏻👍🏻
Im so glad you enjoyed!
It’s “the BANE of my existence”. Learn your own language.
Lewis might be up there with 7 titles as Schumacher has. He was Never the best driver imho. He can't perform in a shit car as Max always can do.
And i ..... DO NOT LIKE THE BIASED BRITISH F1 PRESS. With number 1 being Johny Herbert on the not like list. (Or should i say the ENGLISH F1 press?) You British simply do not understand what Verstappen is all about, just because Dutch 'culture' is different then yours. Finding him arrogant and such. Well, British culture is NOT the norm in the world, let me tell you that.
Every British media:
00:52 watch the whole video!
@@zachf1417 Is just a joke bro based on your title and intro
Ah you got me😂
Get over it..Hamster is finished..Max destroyed his selfbelief in 2021..he cant recover from that..Max will be 10times WC
Bro said aNgRy LaNdO nOrRiS💀
maybe more of a Lukewarm Lando Norris😂
If you get 1.5k views its just Luck mate 😂😂😂😂😂
What about Lance Stroll, he might be a contender in 25!
Honestly you have to respect stroll he slows down on purpose to let the other drivers win so they feel better about themselves!
882 likes right now as I type this comment! Lets push for 1000 likes!!!
Not complaining about anything just about the Hamilton thing. Hamilton is one of the best drivers yes but not the best of all time
Nice click bait
I agree but max is not guilty it is FIA and redbull max is just a used boy whit bad temper and dangers on the road he is not the 1 of the greatste pls stop it they made him not organic 😊
Go Max 🇳🇱
So let somebody explain to me,i mean people from uk,why cry baby was robbed 2021,just wondering and reminding,hungary, silverstone 2021,that max was not pushed out of the track,last race will not be so important for championship
No I agree Verstappen deserved the championship that season if you consider the whole seasons stats! I think in the video when I say 'took away' its more because Lewis Hamilton thought he had it in the bag and then verstappen came back and won in that sort of sense!
You had me indeed
yeah you got me but did max pas lecleck because i believe he pitted but max is the goat
Hi Zach. I think when i see the intro of the video, you have been brainwashed by the Brittish media LOL.
i've celebrated all lewis his chamionships, Sebastian his championships, Fernando his Championships, Shumacher and Senna. And offcourse Max. can i ask you: You as a Brit always had multiple countrymen in the sport. As a Dutchman it has been very very little... So, what seems to be the problem? Can't they have it when others from other country's are better!? It's not country vs country ... its driver vs driver, constructer vs constructer. That just made me wonder.
That Said: If Lando did a better job, he could become champion, he just cant coop with the pressure like Max can, i dont think any other driver can... Max Verstappen just gets better when you put the pressure on..
Sad sad sad boy
splendid
It's just too bad for u....
Max is way way better than Lewis, even though u hate it.
LH is over the top & going down & down, please accept this fac[ & reality.
Max is like Ayrton Senna’s driving.
Du dudu du lando no champion😂
Keep hating
00:52 watch the whole video!
Lol listen the whole vid 😂 it’s not what you think….
he didny take away hamilton 8th championship. he just do this thing in Abu Dhabi. he is the RECEIVER of the abu dhabi P1 . ......you need to check again history who took away hamilton championship.
