Max drives like a madman. Imagine him driving an early F1 car

plazasta.bsky.social•22 days ago

He'd be a Gilles Villeneuve or Ayrton Senna or Stefan Bellof. Crazy performance that would make him the stuff of legends... But (depending on which decade he'd race in) I guarantee you he also wouldn't have survived to his tenth season

I remember his early years in F!. He seemed to be crashing all the time. Watching him drive at Monaco was frightening. He has no fear.

Verstappen? Yeah I still remember the Crashtappen nickname he had

plazasta.bsky.social•22 days ago

(Which is why I love the safety improvements. We get to see Verstappen's full potential fulfilled instead of having drivers like hom become the biggest what-if stories of F1)

Real fucking sexy just like you asked

Think max leaves soon tbh

I also found it interesting Bernie and Kharun discussing how Kimi got plenty of practice time in the 2 year old Mercedes to prepare, but Liam didn't get to test the old Red Bull. It feels like they're setting newbies up to fail.

It's kinda unfair comparison don't you think? Liam already had the latest car spec experience with Racing Bulls, plus he has been a reserve driver at Red Bull for much longer including Sim Work. It's not like Antonelli situation at all.

marko feeds off of the souls of his junior drivers
he never hires them to lead the team, but he never stops bringing them into f1 and watching them fail

The day Max leaves them, they'll become backmarkers for the next 10 years, they know this and he loves it, he can ask for a blank cheque as a salary and they'll have to agree.

And Max will go on to do whatever the hell he wants, dominate, and just be chill as hell lmao.

Red Bull has always been a Max Verstappen project, it's definitely not their show even though they foot the bill and think it is.

chainbear.bsky.social•22 days ago

They must be worried. With how much of their key staff have moved on in the last year and an unclear driver pipeline they don't have a steady foundation for the post Max period if it comes sooner than they think

vivaf1.bsky.social•22 days ago

You’ve stumbled upon his plan to leave Red Bull and eliminate them as competition!

eaustra.bsky.social•22 days ago

I keep wondering what Max could do in a Racing Bull and if the Racing Bulls are not just a step up from the Reds right now.

...

No, it's the junior drivers who are wrong."
