I wouldn't be surprised if Max would quit in a few years. He has already stated that he is at times fed up with the FIA, he often cares more for digital racing, even if it means loosing sleep right before a actual F1 race. He often says he isn't concerned with records or or winning all the time. I wouldn't at all be surprised if he would win 2025 again and quit in 2026. And moved on to greener pastures.
Not when you use words like "Evil" to describe a driver. (Maybe for Russell). ..Jeffrey Dahmer was evil. Putin is evil. Trump is evil. Max isn't evil. He is just, Dutch.
Max is an oldschool racer like Senna and Mansell. The Gen Z racers like Norris and Russel have difficulty dealing with that and ask help from the stewards. And want rule change..
Little bit of context missing. Max had to convince his father to let him kart. His father told max that if he really wanted it, it would be brutal. Max acceoted that challenge. That Italy story, Max was a teen and his mom was 5 minutes behind them, scheduled to stop at the same gas station. I still wouldn't raise my kids like Jos did, but lets keep it a bit closer to the truth.
Thank you @annebokma4637, I was about to point out the same. Too much unnecessary drama to drive a wedge between father and son. One that was never there. Jos is a hothead, for sure, but he would never harm any of his children. He knew what it takes to get to the top. That ultimate top he never accomplished, mainly due to bad advice and lack of development support. The Verstappen story is so much different from the Hamilton story as told by Lewis’ mum. Anthony wanted to be famous but needed his son to do that for him and set up his racing career. Both boys had the talent, but Jos was there to prepare him in the best way possible. A way that demanded commitment from the whole family. When adolescent Max threw away a result in Italy, Jos got mad when Max was making up excuses on their way home. Maybe that was the real turning point from racing on talent to learning to become the best, just as Jos predicted to be necessary to reach the top. I wouldn’t do that either, but I have no children that reached any top in any competitive environment or invested hundred of thousands in my children’s dream. And yes, Sophie was around to pick up the pieces. @only-revved_up, when Max joined CRG karting he only got their materials. Jos kept preparing the karts and engines back at Pex in the Netherlands, their home base. Next to that, Max is a driver with knowledge of the game; the rules, regulations and penalties. Just like a footballer he knows when to commit a foul to take an advantage over his WDC contender. All the great F1 drivers knew how to take a yellow card and benefit from it. A time penalty in F1 is nothing more than a yellow card in football.
Wasnt there a story where max was dropped by his father and he had to walk back, and when he got back to his father, he was brought back and had to walk the distance?
@LearningHistoryTogether he even had to lift a staff and split the red sea to not have to walk a longer distance. A few years later he learned to walk on water, big improvement in time there. The story about the Walking back was that he found other ways to get there instead of walking. But that wasn't what he was supposed to do. At least that is what local folklore tells us here.
@@only_revved_upI think Max will leave the Formula 1 when his contract ends at Red Bull by 2028. He has expressed a desire to pursue different activities and dedicate more time to his family and friends, as mentioned in several interviews.
@@only_revved_up Same, but his future with redbull is tenuous if they can't give him the car he needs to win championships in the future. He's been with them since the start of his career, but that doesn't mean he'll never leave that team if RBR doesn't deliver him a fast car.
@@Grayson_Baker if they would apply now days rules to michael and senna they would have also lost lots of points racing supposed to be hard as nails its f1 not kindergarden
Racing was different when Schumacher was at his peak - but Max reminds me soo much of him. Able to win in worse material, doing things nobody else can, dominating in rain - He is even better than schumacher in wheel to wheel race - Only thing he didnt proof yet, is if he is able to make a team winning - Ive been a fan of him since 2018 - Before that - i thought there will never be another Schumacher, everything is just too technical, driver isnt as important anymore... When max came into f1, you could see the difference IMMEDIATELY. he did things different, he was ruthless insanely fast - he was just outstanding... i remember very well how it felt when schumacher was pushing - you could see it outside the car - the car was dancing on the track.. tbf nowadays that wouldnt be a good style - there wasnt as much tyre management back then - anyways somehow you see it with max aswell - when hes going nuts, you can see it, you can feel it. im german so if anything im biased towards michael... i rly dont understand how you can NOT see how insane of a driver this guy is... i just hope to see him switching to a mediocre team at some point and win wdc after a few years...
I love this comment, yes! Thank you for taking the time to write it 💪💪 I see the same similarities with Max and Schumacher, recently seen a video about their driving styles here on TH-cam. Incredible similarities there as well!
What people now and especially the British forget is that Schumacher was so much better than the rest, he chose to make Ferrari champion and sacrificed the WDC record chase for that. He got that record despite going for a bigger challenge, every team wanted him, he could have gone to Williams or McLaren but didn't and had an uphill battle for many years to finally get Ferrari a WDC.
"Only thing he didnt proof yet, is if he is able to make a team winning" Well he's trying but with a teammate like Perez it's kind of impossible when the maximum amount of points you can get per race is 25 when other teams can do 30+
@@Royvdl yeah thats not what i mean - with schumacher benetton became a wdc contender after 1 season (was midfield before), ferrari became wdc contender after 1 season (also midfield team) and even mercedes became very dominant after 2 seasons, when he was an old man already - so whereever he went, the team became top tier. in his prime he could literally decide what will become the next thing... he never went to the winning team in his career, unlike senna for example - id say in the 90s the big title fights were between schumacher and adrian newey - the genius driver and the genius car builder..
I will always remember how MV was clipped at Silverstone by LH. That was almost game over for Max. I was shocked that Lewis was not disqualified for it.
True, that British POS should have been banned from racing, as it was a deliberate move to take Max out. I also wonder how much was Bottas paid to take Max out the next race. The FIA did not even bother to looke at the illegal engine Merc used for Brazil 2021. NO team can all of a sudden develop an engine which allows for 30kph MORE than any other team's cars WITHOUT DRS. And MICHAEL MASI was the one who allowed Merc and the black one to cheat. But the crybabies only remember the last race of the season. How convenient
I will always admire Max for not letting Hammy keep him down. He stood up to him in the next race(s) and showed him who is boss. To such an extent that in that final lap, Hammy didn't even think of defending his lead and just let Max pass. From bully to chicken in two months.
The time that Max was old enough to compete, he dominated, is the best and most succesfull karter ever! Now he's only 27 years old, wins 1/3 of his races in F1, breaking records like cornflakes, dominate the intire grid and still is not on his top yet. Now that's a GOAT!!
@@danielcook4918I don’t think decorations by wins define a goat, there’s much more to it than that. I’m sure all the LH fans will cling on to this fact tooth and nail but most will see it’s more that that. When Lewis was at his best in the most dominant car, he still didn’t have a season like 2023, and Max might not be in a championship contending car for as long as Lewis was
Say what you want about Jos and his training methods, but my GOD did it work, i am a huge fan of the idea to change his kart setup without telling Max so he could learn to adapt on the fly, explains why hes so damn fast in the wet and unpredictable conditions
While it worked a treat with Max... 99/100 times you het a mentally broken adult person, not a champion. Beating your children into form aint no way to train, nor to treat a child. He got lucky, we got lucky.
@LiftandCoa he told Max if he wanted to do this it would be beyond tough for him and he accepted, the fact that he didn't break is a show of how his character and determination helped build the demon he is today
@@LiftandCoa That's the overly dramatized version, unfortunately you only see this clearly in older Dutch tv programs, where they interview a young Max and his father. And although Jos was strict he was never unfair, If Max screwed up he definitely got told so and how to improve, but definitely NOT beaten. And winning wasn't necessary either, if he didn't win the race but drove good Jos was happy about it. Also if Max wanted to quit and do something else Jos wouldn't get in his way, but from a young age Max wanted this himself so badly, that's just the personality every top professional needs anyway to get to the top. Totally different from parents that want to win so badly they push their children into something the kids themselves don't want to but have to do and create messed up people.
@@LiftandCoa Depends the generation you talk about... I'm raised with the same discipline as Jos did with Max. The current generation couldn't cope with that, they are already mentally scarred for life watching a horror movie without non-LGBTQ(and more) actors playing straight hetero character roles.
Verstappen is definitely gonna stat in RB as long as GP is there and things dont go out of control. I think he prefers consistency over gambling on a different team.
If by "things don't get out of control" you mean he having the N1 and N2 driver seat at the same time and his team mate having test driver status not representing any threat to his competition for the championship against other teams, then yes, he definitely will. Now, if Helmut (his second father in Max's words) is eventually out of the team or loses control over the N2 driver contracts, as it seems he may by 2025, we may end up seeing an interesting story/soap opera with Max's career.
@@herruu2499 yes, I figured. I just wanted to point out that Max is in a really privileged/favourable position in RBR, and it's uncertain that he may get that same preferential treatment in any other team. Even if it gets an obviously well deserved N1 status, kind of like Lewis had with Bottas or Alonso with Massa, it will definitely not be as one-sided as in RBR. And imo that's the source of all his ideas about leaving F1 if he gets bored/tired. If he can't have his way in RBR he may probably retire on top rather than going to another team. Despite all his banter/delusions/whatever that was about winning the championship in a MacLaren or Ferrari even sooner.
@@Maiqel Max definitely wants to try for wins in practically every motorsport on the planet, he's just wired that way. So I am inclined to agree that he probably will use bad developments in RBR as an excuse to pursue those wants. But at the same time, I'm not sure. He's deep into the sim racing scene and I feel like he's using that a bit as an avenue to explore other disciplines whilst being committed to F1. But that's merely speculative. He's said he'll quit when he feels it's time. Probably wil never join another F1 team, though I disagree that he's not going to get some absolutely insane offers if he was moderately available. He's spoken a lot about how important it is to have consistency in the members in the garage, most of all on GP. There's, for me, a lot of things saying both A or B.
If you are totally unbiased: You gotta admit Max is one of the best drivers of all time. He is also very aggressive in his driving and sometimes even dangerous driving.
He was born into and hit the lottery on gene combinations. It doesn't always work, but it worked great for Max and if it continues, he will be the greatest. He is a master on all track conditions
Good video, pity the title. All greats dominate the corners and aggressively push out outside passes. Hamilton for example has kicked out a number of drivers.. albon even twice in one season… they all drive dirty sometimes, dont believe the saints.
Completely agree, Hamilton was one of the best pushers in F1 back then! I think I have to do a video about Hammilton’s early days now to make it fair. Btw, how else are you gonna break into the top of the leag if not being aggressive and pushing with your elbows? Like the other drivers will just let you past them lol 😆
@@only_revved_up well, if you look at the 2007-2013 Hamilton, he would routinely take people out by putting his front tire up against their rear, or just straight up T-bone them. He's a very fast driver in a quick car, but he's as brazen and dirty as they come. His image of a "clean racer" comes form the 2014-2020 era, where he had only one season of close racing with Rosberg. The rest of the time he was either starting from pole, or his car was so much faster that he could cruise by on the straights. Max challenging him in 2021 showed again that Hamilton is no saint (nor is Max, but at least he isn't a hypocrite about it).
Seeing some of the old interviews when Max was in F3. People were already saying that he was so much better than everyone else it was scary. He won 10 races in F3 with a midfield team that had never won a race.....m

Dunno how the schooling of P is handled,,, Meh, don't think Max and Kelly are doing the actual raising of P, that wil be done by the Staff...surrounding Max and Kelly..🤔
We in the Netherlands, myself included, are not well known with the itty bitty details of the F1 sport. The general public here in the Netherlands lack a certain amount of knowledge to completely understand what Max's achievements are and how they should be seen , in the light of F1 history. Therefore Max is not nominated for Dutch sportspersonality of the year, wich I think, he don't mind. But he would deserve that prize for being one of the finest sportspersonalties our country has at this moment!
I think that organisation put it to mind already since max has stated before that he respectfuly declines nominations as he considers others more likely candidates. I mean, he knows the difference between being a racing driver and a marathon runner and that hes not olympic material.
I think the most amazing thing that in the Age of Data, Max can still dominate with a unique style, given that all it takes is some data analytics to know exactly how he's able to save his tires while keeping his pace and be emulated. I think the only conclusion you can draw given the field and his teammate, is that his style is so hard it can't be properly emulated.
Good enough to win with a car that is no longer the most dominant. That drive in Brazil was epic. He has everything it takes to be a world champion. Cut throat, inching out every victory possible. Lando isn't that same bread of ruthless. Lewis was once, but now it feels like he doesn't care anymore, and i worry about his efforts at ferrari being a waste of time and the unjust replacement of Carlos going up in smoke.
11:17 All teams voted during the mid-season of 2021 that a race should not end under a safety car as it would be unexciting. This consensus was reflected in the final race at Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, which concluded with a battle instead of a safety car. One could speculate that without the safety car, Max might have caught up to Lewis, considering the worn state of Lewis's tires and Max had new tires. But imagine if Max hadn't experienced tire issues in the second race; he might have secured the championship. Or consider the collision with Lewis in Silverstone, or the off-track overtake in Saudi Arabia during the penultimate race, where Lewis was not required to relinquish his position, where as Max had to do so in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
Totally agree (except Max catching up without the SC, Lewis was too quick that race), but all the haters of Abu Dhabi 21 seem to have total amnesia of the season before that one race. Yes RB was extremely lucky with that SC but they also pitted at every occasion for new tires so they could maximize once the opportunity presented itself. If you tally all the luck/badluck moments over the whole season for both teams Mercedes was very lucky the championship decision was prolonged as far as it did.
Max has the exceptional talent to make the most of a losing situation! Max has never pushed anyone into the wall with 53 G. Your summary of M. Masi is colored and shows your true nature
Max isn't changing the game, the rules get changed because of Max. The question is: Why were the rules not changed when Schumacher or even Senna raced as ruthless as Max?
You analized Max's career so far in an honest and detailed matter, lot's of "big shots" can learn from this. All these "clickbait GP weekend by GP weekend" so called journalists and podcasters just go with the "delusion of the day". Not often I come accross somebody who does his homework. Just a thousand compliments for this video, keep this up! Eventually someone will pick up your talent and opens doors for you! You deserve that 100%! Thank you, I really enjoyed this video mate!
Sophie said on camera that at her peak (basically when she quit?) she was around the 10th best kart racer in the world. She girled a bunch of later F1 stars.
Only evil ones are they who thinks Max is evil. And very jelouse too. But if you shouldt say that to them they come up with hilarious comments. Just watch.
Max Verstappen has a Very Good And Great Heart!❤ and also one of the biggest talents ever! This guy is up there with Senna and Schumacher in No particulair order! what BS to say 'evil' the Whining Weener here was G Russel! Even Hamilton and Norris are normal Men compared to WeenyWhiner.
I love how comments hate George 🤣 I guess I have to make a video “why everyone hates George Russell” now To be fair I don’t think max is evil, but he definitely has a dark side just like everyone else 💪
@only_revved_up in all honesty, he asked for it to be hated. We dutch people don't like backstabbers, when we have something to say about anybody, we say it directly in your face. (We are not haters by nature, but don't push it)
I'll never forget that Spanish GP as a Dutch person. Never. And that same year the Brazilian GP in the rain. I knew then, he would become a world champion one day.
Well made video. Thanks from Max fan here :) Yes, i am also from Netherlands. Also, i know from other videos Max was trained in rainy conditions by his father on karting. Max learned more how to deal with wet tracks. This explained why Max is doing better on wet races.
@@only_revved_up Oranje (orange) is the surname of our Royal Family, and therefore the color we use to celebrate our sportsmen and women, and other important events. It is a typical Dutch thing.
MAX NO ES MALVADO. Simplemente es imparable y de la vieja escuela, SÍ; de la vieja escuela como Senna, donde defendia ir por cada espacio en pista para ganar posición
max is a succesful experiment... he was born and raised to be a world champion. eat and breath racing, him becoming a champion was not optional, it was a predetermined outcome.
Would we call Senna evil, if he was racing today? And sure, I did not like the Michael Schumacher years and the Hamilton years... that you knew before, who was going to win. Ofcourse I had less problems when the Max years started in 2021... because hey, until then (accept for Jos Verstappen) we did not have drivers in good cars that ever had a chance in a championship. So yes, I enjoyed that very much. But even Max himself said that he wished he had more competition. He felt last year as if he was not really racing anymore. And half the Netherlands often hopes that Max gets a penalty, so that Max has to battle his race forward. Especially if it is a rainy race! Because that is Max at his best!

I am new to F1. I started watching since the Miami GP 2024 and I found this video very cool to see what have I missed during all these years ! Thank you 👏+1 Sub
Max is a winner and a true champ, that requires ruthlessness and relentlessness. That is the same things all the best have. Ronaldo, Senna, van Basten, Cruijff to name a few. No fear, no doubt all skill and all confidence.
The video just speaks a lot of things about you not being up in information. Saying that in 2021 Masi only done it for Verstappen is pure crap. Both Toto and Horner were on his ears, one saying one thing and the other another thing. All the lapped cars could’ve been cleared a lap before, because the car was off the track already. But all the pressure and expectations got to Masi and he fckd up.
Evil? He is just a champion. Each and everyone of them had their controversial moments. Lauda, Prost, Senna, Schumacher, Hamilton. You do not get to be F1 champion without being a ruthless asshole at key moments.
Most honest driver in f1 , no bullshit and no Mediatraining. Doesn't give a shit about image, just is a racing Driver with his own meaning. No political shit. Me like 👍
"the orange army" asks the dutchmen with incredulity in his voice? No such thing m8, pretty much the entire dutch population wears orange during sports and royal stuff. Whether its soccer or hockey or ice skating or formula 1, we adorn ourselves orange. And when it's the king's birthday too. It's a national color, along with the red white and blue of our flag. And a point of pride.
As much as I don't like Jos, the truth is, he didn't push Max to be a racer. In an old interview with Schumacher, he even said if Max wants to do other sports that he would support him. And Max REALLY wanted to race and begged his mom and dad. And so Jos supported mini Max's decision to race. Jos was a good coach, but he's also a bad father. He had issues within himself that he project on Max and his mom, but he never forced Max to be a racer. And that's why Max keeps winning to this day because he truly want what he's doing. Also, Max did not come from a super rich family, nor did he was backed up by a rich person. Jos was in F1 because of his Dutch sponsors. And Max got into a team in F3 because Jos is friend to his old team, who are the slowest in F3 but Max was 2nd in the championship. Max was already popular in karting, became super popular in F3 that even some F1 fans know how good he is. And then he came to F1 and showed the whole grid why he's a real threat to everyone, you can see how Vettel and Hamilton looked at teen Max. Even Nico Rosberg was more scared of Max than Lewis in 2016 championship fight. Some people may hate Max, but no one can deny that he is a class of his own. A real talent of the century.
Another nice story to add, when Max went with a plane, he took the 2 motors of his carts around his neck with a rope so he could take them from free, hence the well developed neck muscles :)
By often using footage not fitting the narrative, your video does not work very well, even if the summary is pretty good.And yeah that stupid clickbait title is just 💩
Imagine having the nerve to leave your son at a petrol station for not winning when you spent your entire career fucking about at the back of the grid.
If you are known to be overly aggressive you achieve something very important. When a driver sees you in his rear view mirror, he craps his pants and makes a bit of room. Job done.
Give him some years out of F1 for people to forget why they hate him, he'll be very convincingly top 3 with Michael and Lewis even if he retired right now
@ hate ? Max is the most popular driver on the Planet right now . Dont believe the British press or DTS narrative portraying him as a villain and tbh he even has a lot of fans in the UK of all places
Max is like the Bas Rutten at Pancreas or the Ramon Dekkers at Muay Thai! Beautifully aggressive, hard and unstoppable when at it! The British hate it 😂😂😂
Nice video, was an entertaining watch! Do have to say tho the shown footage and what you are talking about are sometimes jarringly disjointed (wrong season, showing not max but his teammate on screen etc). I'm not sure how much of that is down to FOM copyright issues though.
What about all the rules which were changed because of Max, like moving under braking and that you now must stay behind the car when safety car ends.... Would be a nice video too ;)
11:40 That is wrong information. The regulations mandate that the race director decides who can and who can't unlap themselves. It was perfectly within the rules, which is why the result stands. Masi was fired due to pressure from Merc, who have huge influence on the FIA because they are engine supplier to so many teams. And of course Max gets treated differently. Remember Brazil when half the grid violated regulations regarding the abandoned restart? Minor financial fines for the offenders (Max knew the rules and followed them BTW). Or Merc changing their tyre pressures illegally? Another minor financial fine. Max swearing getting him a penalty while Charles got away with a slap on the wrist (just a minor fine). There *is* bias in the FIA and among the stewards, there is no other explanation for the extreme inconsistency in the application of the rules.
i heard someone say the last time max finished a race below top 10 was in 2016 (this ofc doesnt include the times when his car retired and DNF's but daymn)
Great video, you definitely mad Max honor with it which he deserves as he's a great driver, without giving him unnecessary hyped praise and goat talk. But I would like to make a precision: you mention that in 2023 Max developed an incredibly refined style that combined agressive driving with good tyre management. That is simply impossible. Sure, a good driver can manage to take care of his tyres and at the same time be faster than a not so good driver. But at this level it's just not reasonable that someone can keep a >1s per lap difference while saving the tyres better than the rest, UNLESS they have a huge car advantage. Tyre managment in the RB19 was clearly thanks to the asymmetric braking valve that was banned mid 2024 (it was banned because it was found, asymmetric braking was already forbidden, only RB managed to get it from a valve system rather than from the control unit, which would be the easy way to do it, but it was clearly deemed against the spirit of the rule anyway). Right after it was banned, Max's car lost a big chunk of performance, and Max himself was seen for the first time since over a year having trouble with the steering and having worse tyres than even Checo (like in Baku).
Sadly the Rb management have chosen to follow Toto's major mistake by to ignore Max & the teams preference to keep Checo and promoted Lawson to deliberately upset the teams unity & capabilities. As a result of making Max's goal to win his fifth WDC even more difficult, we expect Jos to move Max to join Newey; Honda & Alonzo in 2026.
In time he will be remembered as the best driver this sport ever witnessed. Not that he cares very much. Don't be surprised if he suddenly announces he will leave F1 to do other things with his live. Especially now that he becomes a father. Can you blame the boy with a girlfriend like that?
Max has always been the Wild Child of F1. His tactics though questionable remind me of such hard drivers as Senna, Prost and Schumi. The recent FIA ruling that if you have the apex you own the corner and can force the other driver to run wide, almost seems to have been introduced to favour Max's driving style.

@only-revved_up, when Max joined CRG karting he only got their materials. Jos kept preparing the karts and engines back at Pex in the Netherlands, their home base. Next to that, Max is a driver with knowledge of the game; the rules, regulations and penalties. Just like a footballer he knows when to commit a foul to take an advantage over his WDC contender. All the great F1 drivers knew how to take a yellow card and benefit from it. A time penalty in F1 is nothing more than a yellow card in football.

@@only_revved_up Same, but his future with redbull is tenuous if they can't give him the car he needs to win championships in the future. He's been with them since the start of his career, but that doesn't mean he'll never leave that team if RBR doesn't deliver him a fast car.
He has nowhere near surpassed Michael. If the FIA had balls he would have had upto 50 races with points deductions.
@@Grayson_Baker if they would apply now days rules to michael and senna they would have also lost lots of points racing supposed to be hard as nails its f1 not kindergarden
Racing was different when Schumacher was at his peak - but Max reminds me soo much of him. Able to win in worse material, doing things nobody else can, dominating in rain - He is even better than schumacher in wheel to wheel race - Only thing he didnt proof yet, is if he is able to make a team winning - Ive been a fan of him since 2018 - Before that - i thought there will never be another Schumacher, everything is just too technical, driver isnt as important anymore... When max came into f1, you could see the difference IMMEDIATELY. he did things different, he was ruthless insanely fast - he was just outstanding... i remember very well how it felt when schumacher was pushing - you could see it outside the car - the car was dancing on the track.. tbf nowadays that wouldnt be a good style - there wasnt as much tyre management back then - anyways somehow you see it with max aswell - when hes going nuts, you can see it, you can feel it. im german so if anything im biased towards michael... i rly dont understand how you can NOT see how insane of a driver this guy is... i just hope to see him switching to a mediocre team at some point and win wdc after a few years...
Jos Verstappen was close friend of Michael Schumacher and both families spent often holidays together. For Max MS was uncle Michael.
I love this comment, yes! Thank you for taking the time to write it 💪💪
I see the same similarities with Max and Schumacher, recently seen a video about their driving styles here on TH-cam. Incredible similarities there as well!
What people now and especially the British forget is that Schumacher was so much better than the rest, he chose to make Ferrari champion and sacrificed the WDC record chase for that. He got that record despite going for a bigger challenge, every team wanted him, he could have gone to Williams or McLaren but didn't and had an uphill battle for many years to finally get Ferrari a WDC.
"Only thing he didnt proof yet, is if he is able to make a team winning" Well he's trying but with a teammate like Perez it's kind of impossible when the maximum amount of points you can get per race is 25 when other teams can do 30+
@@Royvdl yeah thats not what i mean - with schumacher benetton became a wdc contender after 1 season (was midfield before), ferrari became wdc contender after 1 season (also midfield team) and even mercedes became very dominant after 2 seasons, when he was an old man already - so whereever he went, the team became top tier. in his prime he could literally decide what will become the next thing... he never went to the winning team in his career, unlike senna for example - id say in the 90s the big title fights were between schumacher and adrian newey - the genius driver and the genius car builder..
I will always remember how MV was clipped at Silverstone by LH. That was almost game over for Max. I was shocked that Lewis was not disqualified for it.
Yep, and this season they are giving 10 seconds for every sneeze on track lol
True, that British POS should have been banned from racing, as it was a deliberate move to take Max out. I also wonder how much was Bottas paid to take Max out the next race. The FIA did not even bother to looke at the illegal engine Merc used for Brazil 2021. NO team can all of a sudden develop an engine which allows for 30kph MORE than any other team's cars WITHOUT DRS. And MICHAEL MASI was the one who allowed Merc and the black one to cheat. But the crybabies only remember the last race of the season. How convenient
I will always admire Max for not letting Hammy keep him down. He stood up to him in the next race(s) and showed him who is boss. To such an extent that in that final lap, Hammy didn't even think of defending his lead and just let Max pass. From bully to chicken in two months.
celebrating when the one you shoved into the wall is in the hospital.
not sure who is Evil.
You mean when Max clipped Lewis, because he didn’t yield and expected the other driver to yield as usual? 😏
The time that Max was old enough to compete, he dominated, is the best and most succesfull karter ever! Now he's only 27 years old, wins 1/3 of his races in F1, breaking records like cornflakes, dominate the intire grid and still is not on his top yet. Now that's a GOAT!!
🐐🐐🐐🐐
100% agree
Def has potential to be the goat, but until he has 8 championships, its going to always be a debate
@@danielcook4918I don’t think decorations by wins define a goat, there’s much more to it than that. I’m sure all the LH fans will cling on to this fact tooth and nail but most will see it’s more that that. When Lewis was at his best in the most dominant car, he still didn’t have a season like 2023, and Max might not be in a championship contending car for as long as Lewis was
Say what you want about Jos and his training methods, but my GOD did it work, i am a huge fan of the idea to change his kart setup without telling Max so he could learn to adapt on the fly, explains why hes so damn fast in the wet and unpredictable conditions
Every time I watch a race I say the same thing! My God it worked!
Max so good in the wet he’s one step away from walking on water I swear😂
While it worked a treat with Max... 99/100 times you het a mentally broken adult person, not a champion. Beating your children into form aint no way to train, nor to treat a child.
He got lucky, we got lucky.
@LiftandCoa he told Max if he wanted to do this it would be beyond tough for him and he accepted, the fact that he didn't break is a show of how his character and determination helped build the demon he is today
@@LiftandCoa That's the overly dramatized version, unfortunately you only see this clearly in older Dutch tv programs, where they interview a young Max and his father. And although Jos was strict he was never unfair, If Max screwed up he definitely got told so and how to improve, but definitely NOT beaten. And winning wasn't necessary either, if he didn't win the race but drove good Jos was happy about it.
Also if Max wanted to quit and do something else Jos wouldn't get in his way, but from a young age Max wanted this himself so badly, that's just the personality every top professional needs anyway to get to the top.
Totally different from parents that want to win so badly they push their children into something the kids themselves don't want to but have to do and create messed up people.
@@LiftandCoa Depends the generation you talk about... I'm raised with the same discipline as Jos did with Max. The current generation couldn't cope with that, they are already mentally scarred for life watching a horror movie without non-LGBTQ(and more) actors playing straight hetero character roles.
2:27 it wasn’t because Jos didn’t accept anything but a win, it was because Max threw his title away by not racing intelligently.
That's a more intelligent way to look at this, 100% agree 👍
Verstappen is definitely gonna stat in RB as long as GP is there and things dont go out of control. I think he prefers consistency over gambling on a different team.
Same idea here, but I think he honestly prefers the simulator more and being in F1 is a cool side quest for him 😂
If by "things don't get out of control" you mean he having the N1 and N2 driver seat at the same time and his team mate having test driver status not representing any threat to his competition for the championship against other teams, then yes, he definitely will.
Now, if Helmut (his second father in Max's words) is eventually out of the team or loses control over the N2 driver contracts, as it seems he may by 2025, we may end up seeing an interesting story/soap opera with Max's career.
@@Maiqel Things going out of control is the organization self-detonating and the car being shit.
@@herruu2499 yes, I figured. I just wanted to point out that Max is in a really privileged/favourable position in RBR, and it's uncertain that he may get that same preferential treatment in any other team. Even if it gets an obviously well deserved N1 status, kind of like Lewis had with Bottas or Alonso with Massa, it will definitely not be as one-sided as in RBR. And imo that's the source of all his ideas about leaving F1 if he gets bored/tired. If he can't have his way in RBR he may probably retire on top rather than going to another team. Despite all his banter/delusions/whatever that was about winning the championship in a MacLaren or Ferrari even sooner.
@@Maiqel Max definitely wants to try for wins in practically every motorsport on the planet, he's just wired that way. So I am inclined to agree that he probably will use bad developments in RBR as an excuse to pursue those wants. But at the same time, I'm not sure. He's deep into the sim racing scene and I feel like he's using that a bit as an avenue to explore other disciplines whilst being committed to F1. But that's merely speculative. He's said he'll quit when he feels it's time. Probably wil never join another F1 team, though I disagree that he's not going to get some absolutely insane offers if he was moderately available. He's spoken a lot about how important it is to have consistency in the members in the garage, most of all on GP. There's, for me, a lot of things saying both A or B.
If you are totally unbiased:
You gotta admit Max is one of the best drivers of all time.
He is also very aggressive in his driving and sometimes even dangerous driving.
He was born into and hit the lottery on gene combinations. It doesn't always work, but it worked great for Max and if it continues, he will be the greatest. He is a master on all track conditions
Good video, pity the title. All greats dominate the corners and aggressively push out outside passes. Hamilton for example has kicked out a number of drivers.. albon even twice in one season… they all drive dirty sometimes, dont believe the saints.
Exactly, this gets conveniently forgotten. He was a wrecking ball in the early days.
@@anemicroyalty8764 he still is
Completely agree, Hamilton was one of the best pushers in F1 back then! I think I have to do a video about Hammilton’s early days now to make it fair.
Btw, how else are you gonna break into the top of the leag if not being aggressive and pushing with your elbows? Like the other drivers will just let you past them lol 😆
@@only_revved_up well, if you look at the 2007-2013 Hamilton, he would routinely take people out by putting his front tire up against their rear, or just straight up T-bone them. He's a very fast driver in a quick car, but he's as brazen and dirty as they come. His image of a "clean racer" comes form the 2014-2020 era, where he had only one season of close racing with Rosberg. The rest of the time he was either starting from pole, or his car was so much faster that he could cruise by on the straights. Max challenging him in 2021 showed again that Hamilton is no saint (nor is Max, but at least he isn't a hypocrite about it).
@@only_revved_up Just watch Hamilton in 2008 rubbing tyres with Massa over and over again.
Seeing some of the old interviews when Max was in F3. People were already saying that he was so much better than everyone else it was scary.
He won 10 races in F3 with a midfield team that had never won a race.....m
There were signs 🏎️
dont forget, not just he get Daniil Kvyat seat, he also got his girl XD
I was waiting for this comment 😂😂😂
CORRECTION
And raising his kid
@@pierre2898 meh ,, i don't think so.... paying to raise her yes, the amount of Nanny's she has, and servants,, more than you and i can count on ouer hands combined.
Both Parents are always working and busy, flying around the world,count the amount of race's traveltime involved, and PR time, Plus Factory Time,, I cant realy say Max is raising P, at least not as a full time parent.
I dunno the agenda of Kelly, but, guessing she is also alot of time NOT HOME.
Dunno how the schooling of P is handled,,,
Meh, don't think Max and Kelly are doing the actual raising of P, that wil be done by the Staff...surrounding Max and Kelly..🤔
Don’t put the cheaters name in the same sentence as Max
We in the Netherlands, myself included, are not well known with the itty bitty details of the F1 sport. The general public here in the Netherlands lack a certain amount of knowledge to completely understand what Max's achievements are and how they should be seen , in the light of F1 history. Therefore Max is not nominated for Dutch sportspersonality of the year, wich I think, he don't mind. But he would deserve that prize for being one of the finest sportspersonalties our country has at this moment!
I think that organisation put it to mind already since max has stated before that he respectfuly declines nominations as he considers others more likely candidates. I mean, he knows the difference between being a racing driver and a marathon runner and that hes not olympic material.
Not nominated? Who's on the list then?
Just curious as I don't know much about the Dutch sports scene honestly
@@only_revved_up Eh, good question, i can only name sifan hassan right now who is very impressive.
Max is the GOAT.
🐐🐐🐐
I think the most amazing thing that in the Age of Data, Max can still dominate with a unique style, given that all it takes is some data analytics to know exactly how he's able to save his tires while keeping his pace and be emulated. I think the only conclusion you can draw given the field and his teammate, is that his style is so hard it can't be properly emulated.
Good enough to win with a car that is no longer the most dominant. That drive in Brazil was epic. He has everything it takes to be a world champion. Cut throat, inching out every victory possible. Lando isn't that same bread of ruthless. Lewis was once, but now it feels like he doesn't care anymore, and i worry about his efforts at ferrari being a waste of time and the unjust replacement of Carlos going up in smoke.
Brazil was insane, but I loved Qatar even more, pure chaos of a race 🙈
I wonder how much drivers would become a masterclass if they had this intense training that Max has had
11:17 All teams voted during the mid-season of 2021 that a race should not end under a safety car as it would be unexciting. This consensus was reflected in the final race at Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, which concluded with a battle instead of a safety car. One could speculate that without the safety car, Max might have caught up to Lewis, considering the worn state of Lewis's tires and Max had new tires.
But imagine if Max hadn't experienced tire issues in the second race; he might have secured the championship. Or consider the collision with Lewis in Silverstone, or the off-track overtake in Saudi Arabia during the penultimate race, where Lewis was not required to relinquish his position, where as Max had to do so in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
Hey that’s a fair point! I forgot they voted on this, thank you for brining this up!
Max was not catching Lewis at all lol.
Funny how TeamLH never remembers the fact that every single team voted for that.
Totally agree (except Max catching up without the SC, Lewis was too quick that race), but all the haters of Abu Dhabi 21 seem to have total amnesia of the season before that one race. Yes RB was extremely lucky with that SC but they also pitted at every occasion for new tires so they could maximize once the opportunity presented itself.
If you tally all the luck/badluck moments over the whole season for both teams Mercedes was very lucky the championship decision was prolonged as far as it did.
Everyone always forgets that 🫤
Evil? Ahole….he is honest and trustworthy but ruthless on track. There is no fake with Max
Max has the exceptional talent to make the most of a losing situation! Max has never pushed anyone into the wall with 53 G. Your summary of M. Masi is colored and shows your true nature
bro is built different lmao. DAMN
What have they been feeding him out there in the Netherlands 😂
@@only_revved_up Patat en kroketten? 😜
Max isn't changing the game, the rules get changed because of Max. The question is: Why were the rules not changed when Schumacher or even Senna raced as ruthless as Max?
Great content man, keep growing
Cheers, will do!
You analized Max's career so far in an honest and detailed matter, lot's of "big shots" can learn from this.
All these "clickbait GP weekend by GP weekend" so called journalists and podcasters just go with the "delusion of the day". Not often I come accross somebody who does his homework. Just a thousand compliments for this video, keep this up! Eventually someone will pick up your talent and opens doors for you! You deserve that 100%! Thank you, I really enjoyed this video mate!
Sophie said on camera that at her peak (basically when she quit?) she was around the 10th best kart racer in the world. She girled a bunch of later F1 stars.
I've found some footage of her racing - it’s absolutely in-sane
Only evil ones are they who thinks Max is evil. And very jelouse too. But if you shouldt say that to them they come up with hilarious comments. Just watch.
He is smart , not evil. Its not his fault that the rest doesnt understand racing like he does.
He is the absolute best.
Max Verstappen has a Very Good And Great Heart!❤ and also one of the biggest talents ever! This guy is up there with Senna and Schumacher in No particulair order! what BS to say 'evil' the Whining Weener here was G Russel! Even Hamilton and Norris are normal Men compared to WeenyWhiner.
I love how comments hate George 🤣
I guess I have to make a video “why everyone hates George Russell” now
To be fair I don’t think max is evil, but he definitely has a dark side just like everyone else 💪
@only_revved_up in all honesty, he asked for it to be hated. We dutch people don't like backstabbers, when we have something to say about anybody, we say it directly in your face. (We are not haters by nature, but don't push it)
I'll never forget that Spanish GP as a Dutch person. Never. And that same year the Brazilian GP in the rain. I knew then, he would become a world champion one day.
That's a while back, I didn't see it at that time whatsoever. I thought he was just another kid, like Mik
I notice Verstappen instantly. his father's name and aggressive style is what made me stay with Formula 1
For real? Cause I did not, I was thinking he’s just another young kid with a father with a racing history, kind of like Mik you know
Very nice summary of his career. If you keep this level of clarity up, you'll gather loads more subsribers
Cheers mate, thank you!
Well made video. Thanks from Max fan here :) Yes, i am also from Netherlands.
Also, i know from other videos Max was trained in rainy conditions by his father on karting.
Max learned more how to deal with wet tracks. This explained why Max is doing better on wet races.
What are you even talking about.
Orange Army isn’t a thing that F1 started. Was there long before.
Best regards,
Orange Army
Ps. Solid video 👍🏼
Representing orange army, awesome 🫡
I didn’t know that, so it’s a nickname for all the sports right?
@@only_revved_up Yep, but I think it started at football and ice skating.
@@only_revved_up Oranje (orange) is the surname of our Royal Family, and therefore the color we use to celebrate our sportsmen and women, and other important events. It is a typical Dutch thing.
MAX NO ES MALVADO.
Simplemente es imparable y de la vieja escuela, SÍ; de la vieja escuela como Senna, donde defendia ir por cada espacio en pista para ganar posición
Nice one bro….good video…here’s to your channel’s future success…subscribed !
Thank you mate, much appreciate it! Cheers!
great video quality mate, didn't even notice that you were less than a thousand subs, keep up the work
Thank you, will keep on pushing!
max is a succesful experiment... he was born and raised to be a world champion.
eat and breath racing, him becoming a champion was not optional, it was a predetermined outcome.
I love watching Max drive, especially in the rain, finally a driver with balls
Would we call Senna evil, if he was racing today? And sure, I did not like the Michael Schumacher years and the Hamilton years... that you knew before, who was going to win. Ofcourse I had less problems when the Max years started in 2021... because hey, until then (accept for Jos Verstappen) we did not have drivers in good cars that ever had a chance in a championship. So yes, I enjoyed that very much. But even Max himself said that he wished he had more competition. He felt last year as if he was not really racing anymore. And half the Netherlands often hopes that Max gets a penalty, so that Max has to battle his race forward. Especially if it is a rainy race! Because that is Max at his best!
I am new to F1. I started watching since the Miami GP 2024 and I found this video very cool to see what have I missed during all these years ! Thank you 👏+1 Sub
Cheers, glad you like it!
Abu Dhabi gonna be insane this year (hopefully)
I absolutely loved the Qatar race, was pure chaos lol
Cool informative video! Well deserved sub!
Max is a winner and a true champ, that requires ruthlessness and relentlessness. That is the same things all the best have. Ronaldo, Senna, van Basten, Cruijff to name a few. No fear, no doubt all skill and all confidence.
And Clark? 🤔
When it rains… Max reigns!
🐐🐐🐐
The video just speaks a lot of things about you not being up in information. Saying that in 2021 Masi only done it for Verstappen is pure crap. Both Toto and Horner were on his ears, one saying one thing and the other another thing. All the lapped cars could’ve been cleared a lap before, because the car was off the track already. But all the pressure and expectations got to Masi and he fckd up.
Evil? He is just a champion. Each and everyone of them had their controversial moments. Lauda, Prost, Senna, Schumacher, Hamilton. You do not get to be F1 champion without being a ruthless asshole at key moments.
Misleading title… stop with hate it’s bs
I wasn't hating in the video tho! But will work more on the titles, thank you for the comment!
@ just stop with the click bait..video was good you don’t need the BS hate mongering title
Most honest driver in f1 , no bullshit and no Mediatraining. Doesn't give a shit about image, just is a racing Driver with his own meaning. No political shit. Me like 👍
Hope all drivers drive like him. Then, it will be really enjoyable.
the best things about max for me are still the moments he called out renault.
literally calling the engine problem by it's name.
Basically forced the team to change the engine that's right! And what a result that was!
"the orange army" asks the dutchmen with incredulity in his voice? No such thing m8, pretty much the entire dutch population wears orange during sports and royal stuff. Whether its soccer or hockey or ice skating or formula 1, we adorn ourselves orange. And when it's the king's birthday too. It's a national color, along with the red white and blue of our flag. And a point of pride.
Thank you for sharing this, I didn't actually know this! Cheers!
U got a great voice! Keep up the good work!
As much as I don't like Jos, the truth is, he didn't push Max to be a racer. In an old interview with Schumacher, he even said if Max wants to do other sports that he would support him. And Max REALLY wanted to race and begged his mom and dad. And so Jos supported mini Max's decision to race. Jos was a good coach, but he's also a bad father. He had issues within himself that he project on Max and his mom, but he never forced Max to be a racer. And that's why Max keeps winning to this day because he truly want what he's doing.
Also, Max did not come from a super rich family, nor did he was backed up by a rich person. Jos was in F1 because of his Dutch sponsors. And Max got into a team in F3 because Jos is friend to his old team, who are the slowest in F3 but Max was 2nd in the championship. Max was already popular in karting, became super popular in F3 that even some F1 fans know how good he is. And then he came to F1 and showed the whole grid why he's a real threat to everyone, you can see how Vettel and Hamilton looked at teen Max. Even Nico Rosberg was more scared of Max than Lewis in 2016 championship fight. Some people may hate Max, but no one can deny that he is a class of his own. A real talent of the century.
damn u blowing up with this one man keep it going!
I know right!! This is actually very exciting 😝😝
Evil? Jealous much? He’s a genius!
I think talking about the penalties as the main subject matter for 2024, it's a waste, soo much more to 2024...
Im dutch and already watched f1 since i was 4 and that was 2014 and i was 1 of the only 1 that watched it at that time
Awesome, glad to see a lot of Dutch folks in the comments!
Another nice story to add, when Max went with a plane, he took the 2 motors of his carts around his neck with a rope so he could take them from free, hence the well developed neck muscles :)
Hehe, can we develop Max neck thickness index please, I swear it does about 2x a year 😂
By often using footage not fitting the narrative, your video does not work very well, even if the summary is pretty good.And yeah that stupid clickbait title is just 💩
Thank you very much for the comment! Will do my best to improve next time 🫡
I was a Lewis fan ngl, I’ve been watching a bunch of max rage moments and best overtakes and he’s top 5 fr
Imagine having the nerve to leave your son at a petrol station for not winning when you spent your entire career fucking about at the back of the grid.
I was waiting for someone to point this out, thank you mate!!
Jos didn’t left Max at the gas-station because he lost. He left Max because Max didn’t tried his best
Based on the people in the comments filling in different parts of this story I will agree, yep!
the last time max was out of the points, when he didn't have a retirement or a problem with the car, was spa 2016! almost 10 years ago.
Evil is an opinion. Genius is a fact.
If there are here people who believe that this phenomenal driver isn’t en would be the greatest all time far before everyone.he is mad
Nog 10 jaar Max
If you are known to be overly aggressive you achieve something very important. When a driver sees you in his rear view mirror, he craps his pants and makes a bit of room. Job done.
Yep, that strategy seems to work very well in all of the racing actually!
Max ruthless in only race track
2022 and 2023 are Adrian Newey's wins. Max needed Adrian more then Adrian needed Max.
We'll see next year! Isn't Newey leaving, correct me if I'm wrong?
Hé is the GOAT , many want to deny but deep down everyone knows
Not even gonna deny this, he absolutely is the 🐐
Give him some years out of F1 for people to forget why they hate him, he'll be very convincingly top 3 with Michael and Lewis even if he retired right now
@ hate ? Max is the most popular driver on the Planet right now . Dont believe the British press or DTS narrative portraying him as a villain and tbh he even has a lot of fans in the UK of all places
Aggressive style. You mean rule breaking and utterly dangerous.
Seems like the FIA is adjusting the rules to fit his style now 😂
What rules are broken? And over aggressive, you british mind is short cutted again
Ah, we found the englishman 😂
Max is like the Bas Rutten at Pancreas or the Ramon Dekkers at Muay Thai!
Beautifully aggressive, hard and unstoppable when at it!
The British hate it 😂😂😂
Great summary, thanks.
Cheers!
Nice video, was an entertaining watch!
Do have to say tho the shown footage and what you are talking about are sometimes jarringly disjointed (wrong season, showing not max but his teammate on screen etc). I'm not sure how much of that is down to FOM copyright issues though.
Genie's represented shapeshifting, possession and madness.
100% agree
What about all the rules which were changed because of Max, like moving under braking and that you now must stay behind the car when safety car ends.... Would be a nice video too ;)
Max Verstappen is our dutch genius , so non british , non sneaky George Russel like , direct in your face , superior skilled GOAT driver .
The 🐐
He is ruthless.
💯
crazy how watching the senna documentary on netflix shows similarity of max to senna on track and off track.
11:40 That is wrong information. The regulations mandate that the race director decides who can and who can't unlap themselves. It was perfectly within the rules, which is why the result stands. Masi was fired due to pressure from Merc, who have huge influence on the FIA because they are engine supplier to so many teams.
And of course Max gets treated differently. Remember Brazil when half the grid violated regulations regarding the abandoned restart? Minor financial fines for the offenders (Max knew the rules and followed them BTW). Or Merc changing their tyre pressures illegally? Another minor financial fine. Max swearing getting him a penalty while Charles got away with a slap on the wrist (just a minor fine). There *is* bias in the FIA and among the stewards, there is no other explanation for the extreme inconsistency in the application of the rules.
14:25 showing PEREZ? why.
MAX is amazing what he did in Brzil was the best he is far times better than any other driver ever .
Max will race with redbull for along time. Not sure how long that will be in F1. I am sure where ever he goes, redbull will follow him.
Max verstapphen learned how to drift in 3 mins easily
i heard someone say the last time max finished a race below top 10 was in 2016
(this ofc doesnt include the times when his car retired and DNF's but daymn)
seems about right but I'll have to double check
It's said that when Max was 6 and Jos drove for Minardi, Max broke his dad's lap record on their simulator.
No way, I didn't know that, that's so cool 😂
He is a genius.
Great video, you definitely mad Max honor with it which he deserves as he's a great driver, without giving him unnecessary hyped praise and goat talk.
But I would like to make a precision: you mention that in 2023 Max developed an incredibly refined style that combined agressive driving with good tyre management. That is simply impossible. Sure, a good driver can manage to take care of his tyres and at the same time be faster than a not so good driver. But at this level it's just not reasonable that someone can keep a >1s per lap difference while saving the tyres better than the rest, UNLESS they have a huge car advantage.
Tyre managment in the RB19 was clearly thanks to the asymmetric braking valve that was banned mid 2024 (it was banned because it was found, asymmetric braking was already forbidden, only RB managed to get it from a valve system rather than from the control unit, which would be the easy way to do it, but it was clearly deemed against the spirit of the rule anyway). Right after it was banned, Max's car lost a big chunk of performance, and Max himself was seen for the first time since over a year having trouble with the steering and having worse tyres than even Checo (like in Baku).
I didn’t know RB19 had asymmetric braking, thank you for taking the time to write this!
I really can't understand why it is so hard to pronounce Kvyat's name, why do you swap the positions of V and Y? It is KVIAT not KIVIAT!!!
Name pronunciation is honestly my weakness at this point, will do better!
I fear we might never see Max Prime. He was still improving but now that his kid is on its way, Max's priorities will have shifted away from F1.
Sadly the Rb management have chosen to follow Toto's major mistake by to ignore Max & the teams preference to keep Checo and promoted Lawson to deliberately upset the teams unity & capabilities.
As a result of making Max's goal to win his fifth WDC even more difficult, we expect Jos to move Max to join Newey; Honda & Alonzo in 2026.
In time he will be remembered as the best driver this sport ever witnessed. Not that he cares very much. Don't be surprised if he suddenly announces he will leave F1 to do other things with his live. Especially now that he becomes a father. Can you blame the boy with a girlfriend like that?
Max has always been the Wild Child of F1. His tactics though questionable remind me of such hard drivers as Senna, Prost and Schumi. The recent FIA ruling that if you have the apex you own the corner and can force the other driver to run wide, almost seems to have been introduced to favour Max's driving style.
I was thinking about it this weekend and yes, the new rule absolutely gives Max an edge, no more 10-second penalties
Why are we getting a full recap of the first years?
