Max Verstappen

I prefer Sir Lewis Hamilton's character any day over Max. I don't like people who show disrespect for others. Quick to call people names when they don't get their way. Quick to behave badly when they are put in an uncomfortable situation. Those who will try to fight some one and go on a tantrums like a child. This world is at the point where having no integrity is applauded. I will never applaud Max character.
That's why Sir Lewis Hamilton can go any team and be an asset to their marketing. No slow down of media and sponsorship for him.
If I approach a woman and she says, get out of my face you idiot. I likely won't help her if I see her stranded. If she would have " been fake " as you say and said, Sorry you are cute but I have boyfriend. I would probably help her. I can't relate to anything about Max. I didn't grow up fortunate to have an F 1 dad or any famous dad in sports. I relate to Sir Lewis Hamilton far more.
Also being different or dressing different does not mean you are flashing your wealth. Last time I checked Max had his logo on his jet, Sir Lewis Hamilton sold his jet. You got to be careful, there are many ways Max maybe flashing his wealth, we don't know him personally.

 

It’s KING MAX. His royal highness.

 

No. His country hasn't labeled his name a high honor. You can't make him be like Sir Lewis Hamilton.

 

Corrected for you

 

Nor does he need that , like your soft confused driver.

 

Why is it always the same two posters bickering about LH vs MV. Boring.

 

Enough about the irrelevant one.
Max is 4 time champ and he started less than 10 yrs ago. The sir victim has been here almost 20 yrs I think.

 

Because ktu is enamored with the driver and must defend him at all costs. Lol

 

Even if he needed it, he's not worthy. Trash character.

 

But you mentioned him before I did.

 

I think I like this meme

 

King of being an asshat or King of being a brat ?? which is it ??

 

Lately its been king of throwing his team under the bus.

 

Max is doing ok considering his father is a horrible role model. Max was abused as a kid.

 

How exactly?

 

Many instances, go watch the Hungarian GP.

You're really stretching. Hungary is not recent at all.

"And that's why I think also we put ourselves in that position. We did everything wrong that we could have done wrong. Today has just been awful."

He doesn't say the team did everything wrong and he was awesome. He said WE. He also didn't say the team was awful, he said the day was awful. Do you even read the stuff you post?

Does Max blame the team when it's his fault? Here's the recent 2021 Saudi quali crash comments:

“It's of course terrible,” Verstappen said. “I knew the pace was there and it showed in the last lap. “I don't understand what happened but I locked up. I tried to keep the car on the track to finish the lap, and I clipped the rear - so I had to stop

That's a lot of "I" and not we and certainly not they.

 

Yes, Max's father has issues BUT when it came to raising his son in the karting, F3 then F1 scene, Jos did very well with Max.

Compare that with Lawrence Strolls son, Lance, whom has been eating out of a "silver spoon" since day 1.....how's that panning out for Lance with regards to his performance on the track since he entered F1. Obviously, Lance has a "golden parachute" IF he exits F1.

We have 2 dichotomous fathers with obviously different upbringings and 2 different sons with 2 dichotomous upbringings as well.....which would you rather have given the sons outcomes with regards to F1?

 

That was utterly obvious this year lol. OMG he's human.

Horner: Verstappen "more sensitive" to 2024 criticism than he let on
Red Bull team boss suggests F1 world champion Max Verstappen was irked by external criticism in 2024

 

Lewis calls people names too, remember when he called his ex a fat oompa loompa? Or when he told his boss to ''sit on it and swivel"? Or called the Stewards racist for penalizing him because he kept crashing into everything? Or is Lewis excluded again for...reasons? Stop virtue signalling.

I've no idea what to say to the utter drivel you made up in the middle paragraph. Typical word vomit.

Lewis had many photoshoots with his personalized jet, I don't know how else you need to flash your wealth but ok. Lewis sold his jet indeed, for ''environmental reasons''. One would assume he'd then fly like conventional people where more people are stuffed in a jet so fewer emissions per mile but no, he just charters instead. Virtue signalling at it's finest.

Wrong, showing your ignorance again. Max Verstappen has been appointed Officer in the Order of Orange-Nassau, which outranks Sir Lewis Hamilton, a Knight Bachelor with an MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire). MBE ranks fifth and lowest in the British order, while Officer ranks fourth in the Dutch order, above both Member and Knight.

Sorry to break it to you.

 

Do you not read what I read before you respond? Hungary is recent enough, well into this season, no need to use that excuse. Max blames the pit stops and strategy for ruining his race. Do you take the word "we" as face value from Max? That's lauphable. Do you think Max help with pistops? No. He is throwing his team under the bus.
There are too many examples of this. You won't win this one.

“You guys gave me this s*** strategy, OK? I’m trying to rescue what’s left.”

What you fail to comprehend is that the point 454SS makes is that Max DOES blame the team, but he also takes ownership of his own mistakes if and when he makes them.

The Hungary strategy was really f'in ****, it was so bad they let him get undercut 3x, twice by Lewis and once by Leclerc. It was the definition of a **** strategy.

The car was losing pace to it's rivals all season long and RB had no answer to improve it. None. If he was moaning like this when he had a dominant car you might have had a little bit more of a point, but when you're dragging this car to positions it shouldn't be in, you're allowed some leeway.

 

I don't think you comprehended me correctly. I was referring to a title to his name.
Some very wealthy people are discreet. If Max put his logo on his jet, would you label this as being discreet?

 

Whenever the name ktu pops up in a thread, I reach for the popcorn.

 

No. No. No. You can't pick and choose the action of throwing your team under the bus according to what situation you deem is valid. If Max does it you have to fault him as you do Sir Lewis Hamilton. If I robbed a bank. I can't give the judge when, where and why excuses, that won't work.
