    They always told me Max doesn't throw the team under the bus.

    Wrong. He has done that on multiple occasions.

    The difference is, he doesn't fanny about pretending to be mr team player 24/7.

    He was actually called out on this a few years back and he told the reported flat out "I give 100% and I expect the same in return". He's unapologetic but also factual.

    That said, I probably wouldn't have done so personally.

    Ooooooohhh... ok . You say there are different types of throwing your team under the bus. Max technique is better. I thought throwing your team under the bus meant the same no matter who the driver is. Glad you cleared that up. If my wife catch me cheating, I can tell her there's different types of cheating. She will understand.

    I've always maintained that and presumably you failed to understand that despite it being explained to you; the difference is one is up front about it and the other one is not, therefore comes across as fake.

    I wouldn't think that is too difficult to comprehend but hey ho.

    Actually when you think about it, being up front and arrogant about it is worse than faking it.

    Did anyone bother to see what Norris said after he cooled down? They’re totally good about it. But I guess it’s important what we think right ☺️☺️

    He drove like a petulant child today. The commentators were speculating that staying up all night doing sim racing might have affected his mood and concentration. If I was in RBR management, I'd be sitting Verstappen down and reminding him he's an employee.

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    And Max would reply right back at them "sack me and you'll be lucky to even see the podium let alone win races".

    Yep, Max has exceptional talent, but that comes at a price: Red Bull has to accept the rough with the smooth at times.

    Very true Bas but Max has had an attitude problem of late ...... I thought he had got past that :(

    I like Max, no time for LH, not supporting Ferrari next year, can't walk the hypocrite path
