Max Verstappen: One of the greatest of all times

Daytona and Le Mans are not really drivers' circuits, IMO. They are cars' circuits.
Endurance and F1 are like chalk and cheese.
Alonso tried endurance, and came back to F1.

 

I like to see drivers do different types of motorsport. Whilst the 2 types or racing are very different, Max can show of his ridiculous consistency. Much like Alonso did when he did Le Mans and Daytona

 

Le Mans this year will be just epic again I guess..
Rain, drama etc ..

 

Max being schooled by Piastri was fun to watch!

 

lewsi get out of the way .lolololololololololololololo. too slow and old

 

At least he's being schooled by a car that's 1 second a lap quicker than his. Leclerc schooling Hambone must be a truly humbling experience for you lot

 

Don't try to prop him up. Max got schooled. And its not the first time. Piastri has no respect for Max lol.

 

just a question, but I haven't heard that Senna was all that special at setting up cars. What is this based on?

To me, I would say Senna wasn't very good at setting up cars. His results say he went for outright speed and got lots of poles and yet couldn't turn those into wins. That isn't a good setup to me. I mean, points were still earned on Sundays back in his era.

 

I’m not sure I would say that Piastri has no respect for Max. I think there is definitely respect there.

But I would say that Piastri is not afraid of Max. No intimidation.

 

So now overtaking means not having respect. Got it.

 

The difference between Senna and Prost was interesting to watch when they were both at McLaren.
Senna prepared his car for maximum performance to get a good grid position on Saturday.
Prost was setting his car for the whole race, ready to sacrifice some speed to obtain a durable performance.

 

^^^^^^ THIS ^^^^^^

I was referring to no respect on track/racing. Being aggressive putting Max in a comprimising position etc.

 

Got it. Still stupid.

 

I definitely think Max is the best active F1 driver by far. He was too brash in beginning, but has become a complete champion in recent years. The only weakness for him is if the car isn't there.

 

The car isn't there for 2025 as opposed to his previous 4 years with the car.

 

Max would be anyone driving today in the same car. And mops the floor with every teammate.

 

He had his first F1 start at 17--who wouldn't be brash?

 

He cures cancer next lol?? World turns. Nothing special at all. Not a hero. Just a big wanker today. Greatest lol!

 

There were several mitigating circumstances as Max did nothing wrong according to the SkySports play-by-play incidents.

 

"nothing special at all"

You're either blind or just going for rage bait.

 

He is the best driver of the last several years. Max is not dealing with adversity well. Showed his ass today.

 

I certainly can't blame him.

RB put him on the hards with 11 laps to go and the SC came in with 6 laps to go I believe.

RB told Max to give the position back in T1 against Russell when Max did nothing wrong in T1.
