    You seem to have the same reading comprehension as your 3 lettered buddy. You lot where pointing out that Max got unnecessarily upset at Rfactor being **** at organizing races. We disagreed with you.

    The rfactor race was an organized event part of a season with actual prize money, one those drivers trained many hours for. This one was a 3 hour race, not part of any championship. A fun race, with a bunch of youtubers and professional e sports drivers. Max wasn't even doing it but at the very last minute, his teammate dropped out, popped Max a message see if he could jump on, and he did.

    Sven (a known name to anyone in sim racing esports) is a guy that very often intentionally crashes into people, intentionally hit Max on the rear in order to crash him out. That worked, a little too well even as Max got crashed into both his teammates.

    I don't agree with his retaliation but it's also not the big ''gotcha'' moment you think it is.

    You can try making yourself look less silly by not speaking about a subject as if you are an expert on it when you yourself admitted say you know absolutely nothing about,

    Haase hit Max's team mate who took max out, and it was an event, which those Esport players will be paid to compete, it is a job for them.

    Thats right, I am making my self look silly, While you dont even kow what happened

    Yep, still making yourself look silly, as it was a charity event. Not paid.

    And Haase hit Max, who then hit his teammates.

    Hard isn't it?

    Was this real testing/racing or virtual testing? Don't want to confuse some of the members here ;) In fact, ya might need to explain the difference first ... use small words.

    After Hungary it's 9 out of 11 this year. Pretty sure Max will get to Prost's win tally of 51 already this year.

    And don't forget, he is in the best car!
    Why don't you say it again? Just to be sure!

    Max is meh at best.

    No the final point is :
    Lewis at his peak could have done the same in this RB19.
    Ie crushing and humiliating the whole field.
    I don’t think so.
    He’s a tremendous driver but Max is coming from another planet.

    The car is an extension of Max's abilities, talents or race-craft?

    And THAT is why I keep bringing up “the car”.
    This notion that Max is world’s better than the field is silly.

    I see it more like the car is a tool for Max's abilties, talent and racecraft.
    Checo has the same tool but cannot create what Max does.

    Frankly I don’t know..
    The way he’s achieving results since two years is very disturbing for an old observer like me.
    Maybe the best formula one driver in history ( and I don’t like this concept..)

    Have you seen Max's aggressiveness driving when he didn't have the car? Maybe it's not to some on here's liking but his Senna-esque driving was impressive.

    I know why you keep bringing it up, but it is like beating a dead horse.
    For some reason people keep getting back to this.

    We simply cannot know who is the best driver out there, because they are driving different cars.
    And even if they were given the same car it would not be not fair because a car has a certain characteristic, one is more oversteer the other understeer, some drivers like that, some don't.

    But yet there are tell tale signs that some stick out above the rest, the Alonso's, Hamiltons's, Schumachers and Verstappen's.
    Constantly outperforming team mates with the same material, wonder races like Max in Brazil in 2016 or Schumacher in Spain in 1995.

    Who of them is the ultimate? Forget it, no way of telling.
    And if you listen carefully, they actually say exactly the same as I do here in interviews.

    One thing is certain with these guys though, it is NOT just the car!!

    Is this a sensible discussion ? I don't think so.

    Everyone who follows F1 has his opinion, and some try to push theirs on others; they will even argue, insult or snigger at different views.

    Is it worth it ? It doesn't look like it.
