I can imagine the frustration of being asked about painful regret from someone hiding behind a shit-eating grin. But it sounds like he’s dealing with his over-the-hill F1 relevance by projecting daddy issues onto a journalist - someone at a lower power differential. Not a good look, Max. Go to therapy instead.

This is a good example of how authoritarian parenting/training (by Jos) is ultimately more limiting than helpful. You start facing defeat at some point and it enrages and confuses you.
