phillipAlright, I've never been a Max Verstappen hater, even though I've never been a huge fan. I've always understood being a "poor sport" in #Formula1 a little. Not that I think it's great, but when you are really competitive, ruthlessness makes sense to an extent. In the past, Max has often taken that too far and even to a dangerous degree. But this last weekend, Max crossed lines during and after the race that genuinely make me wish he wasn't in the sport anymore.
I truly don't believe he adds anything to #F1 anymore. At least not right now. Sure, he's talented, but so what. There are 18 other incredibly talented drivers and 1 #GOATIFI on the grid, so Max is hardly special. And what his family is like outside of the race is preposterous. Especially his mother's recent remarks are truly revolting. It goes beyond being a ruthless, competitive race car driver/supporter and embarks into "bad human" territory.
Rosthouse@horkrvkz I think it's now RedBulls Job to show Max that he is not above the team. I can understand racing your teammate, fighting for every point on the line. But not to the detriment of your team (and yes, we had plenty of those instance with RedBull and other teams).
Ultimately, #formula1 is a teamsport. If you're only out for yourself, at some point you will be out of support or a seat.
@rosthouse yeah exactly, there's a difference between fighting for points and whining when you are asked to help the team. Overall, just not a good way to approach the sport
