I could never be an f1 executive bc I'd sit the top 3 in the cool down room and play the video of Max laughing at McLaren for swapping to both drivers to get their live reaction... but I guess im just built different 😔

[justanotherdrfan]

max really showed everyone today that there’s a difference between a champion and a guy leading the championship 🤷🏼‍♀️

[justanotherdrfan]

Not the tifosi singing tu tu du du Max Verstappen during the anthems! 😂

[justanotherdrfan]

Max was like I wanna go to Mercedes next year…

Someone: Daniel is gonna be Ford racing ambassador…

Max: Say no more, I am staying with Red Bull, I am happy where I am….. When can we start filming some stuff with ford?

[justanotherdrfan]

Not me hoping and praying for Max to respond in the comments of Daniel’s new ford ambassador post to Daniel’s ki ki with ki ki aye!

[justanotherdrfan]

Max: Is he [ok], with his hands? I saw, like, how he hit the wall. GP: Reports are he's OK, Max.

Max having ptsd flashbacks to Daniel in '23 seeing someone in the wall in turn three 😭🥲

Behind the scenes of 'that' Max Verstappen and Chris Harris video | The Car Podcast #48

Chris: (...) He's a very, very uncomplicated man who happens to have been born with a set of skills to drive a racing car in a manner that none of us can really understand. (...)

but I have to say he was just super relaxed. He was a total joy to work with. And I sound like I'd be an absolute sick fan here, but I tell you if he wasn't, I will tell you if he was a d!ckhead but he really wasn't. He was everything people had told me he would be.

The first lap out in the GTD was eye opening (...) What he did out the box is quite a bit beyond what I can do. He just got in it and into the first braking zone. I think he was plus minus one meter at the maximum of what the car would do into that corner. I don't think there was any leeway and that was the first corner we came to. So, it's an absolute privilege to witness that level of skill that close up.

I think it also reminded me that when people have judged Max, and he deserved to be judged at times, some of it was, you know, close to the bone at the beginning, we forget two things. He was so young and he was so inexperienced. He hadn't come up, he hadn't graduated through years and years of racing (...) He just went he was just given a Formula 1 car at an age where most people are trying to do their GCSEs and told to go out and fight. You forget and he's he's effectively matured into young adulthood as a world champion in the full view of a very very critical media. And I suppose I almost felt parental towards him.

He doesn't need it. Good god, can he look after himself. But I just felt I just imagined if that was my boy how protective I would have been towards him. (...) And look what he's achieved. I think it's remarkable. So, on a human level, he was a joy. (...) I hope that this disappointing UK view of Max changes a bit because you know what he does behind the wheel. He's a ruthless winner. He's there to win but that doesn't mean he's a bad human being.

Q: An Aussie? Why have you traveled here?

A: All of my sporting patriotism left my body on a hot Singapore night so i'm here rooting for Max Verstappen. | x

Is it liberating seeing the down fall of Horner? Yes.

Does it bring justice for Daniel? Yes.

But does it give me the cathartic feeling I was hoping for? No. Clearly nothing will mend the gapping hole that Daniel’s dropping has caused.

I thought I’d be thrilled but I’m just reminded of what we lost in the first place and it hurts all over again.

[justanotherdrfan]

Justice for Daniel: mission complete!

[justanotherdrfan]

I have no words! 🤯

[justanotherdrfan]

Shut up Zak Brown. He did it. We know it. You can talk out of your ass claiming otherwise but it ain’t going to change shit. The evidence is crystal clear.

[justanotherdrfan]

I don’t know why were brushing over this penalty. It was self inflicted so don’t be bitchy about it because you came 2nd while your consequences caused the other to drop to 10th and fight from up to 5th. You’re still in the WDC lead.

Crane: who's been your favorite teammate in your career?

[justanotherdrfan]

I’m so happy Simon Rennie is back on track!

Because I don’t think we give enough credit to who was running that simulator program with Daniel in 2023. The year of dominance. When the setup was lighting up the timing sheets from FP1 already. The year of record breaking excellence. Because we all know Max and Daniel love and thrive with a pointy front end.

And he’s only come back twice. Once for Daniel Silverstone tyre test and now to help Max in GP absence. ❤️

sky sports acting as if the championship is unwinnable for max with a 39 point gap to p1, yet they were jerking themselves off last year over a lando norris championship run with a 60 point gap or whatever it was. yeah okay. we'll talk at the end of the season.
