In this video, we uncover the growing speculation around Max Verstappen's recent race performance, where some believe he may have deliberately slowed down to send a powerful message to Red Bull. As McLaren and Mercedes continue to gain ground, Verstappen's frustration with Red Bull’s inability to keep pace is becoming increasingly evident. We’ll examine how his actions on the track could be a strategic move to highlight these issues and what this means for the rest of the season.
Additionally, we’ll dive into the internal conflicts brewing within Red Bull’s leadership, with key figures like Christian Horner and Helmut Marko publicly clashing. These tensions could be impacting team morale and performance, raising concerns about Red Bull’s future dominance. Is Verstappen playing the long game by conserving his car’s resources, or are these signs of deeper problems within the team? Join us as we break down the drama and discuss what it means for the championship race!

4 days since last video? What's up
My theory is that Zack went in the middle of the night at Redbull's garage, stole the cars with a large bag and painted them papaya orange before the Netherlands GP
For sure
Theory? That's reality my friend
Just like when Alpine rehired Flavio again. The Flavio went into the garage with a bunch of tools and give one to the mechanics and said "Here, take it. This should make it 1 or 2 tenths faster". Lol 😅
@@MrWarhead16Flavio: see that fuel flow FIA sensor? I'm gonna do what's called a pro gamer move
But he then found out that someone had already replaced the Red Bulls with the 2023 Alpha Tauri cars after the Chinese Grand Prix🤣
If Max was holding back, that says a lot about Sergio's pace...
He is holding back the whole season to give max a chance 🥴
Brundle was overstating the "holding back" stuff. Max was simply doing what any driver would do in a situation where they're in no position for the race win, but arent being challenged for their podium position... He eased it home.
Thus the question is, why the gaslighting to make people think that Max is just "going slow now coz he doesnt like the car anymore." 😂
Probably because explaining to fans actually paying attention why the Redbull has lost boatloads of pace compared to 2022 and 2023 would open up all kinds of scrutiny and questions
@@tjiddenllol
@@tjiddenlyeah that must be it lol
Well its always says a lot about max...checo isnt bad max is just wonderful
imagine verstappen wanting to leave RB. Toto will be kicking the air😂
There is no way Max would fit in that corporate oatmeal culture. it's all too pr-ish and that works with Lewis and George, not Max who doesn't care what you think about him :)
@@Wouter-van-der-Molen He would make it fit. They want him so bad that they don;t care how he behaves as long as he brings them titles.
Toto certainly will be he really needs a good Number 2 driver for George
And when he goes to Aston Martin he’ll be kicking air
@@Lamster66lol. He would drop George in a heartbeat if Max would join.
I think Rob Marshall was a better signing for McLaren than going after Newey. Marshall fitted into the existing infrastructure whereas Newey would have wanted to run the whole show imo.
Agreed. Total sleeper hit.
Indeed, and he also gets to escape newey's shadow and prove that he isn't the be all and end all of f1 engineering.
I watched the Marshal interview and he said the rear wing would make it faster. And oh boy it did.
@@DingLiren-nw2vj How dare you! There is nobody finer than Adrian Newey when it comes to loopholes, grey areas and flexible body parts.
Excellent point.
And it helps me make mine.
I know Newey is "the god of F1 engineering," but having him join your team does not equate to automatically winning championships.
Yes, his record is amazing, but how many years in a row did Mercedes win during the mid to late 20-teens?
If Newey is so great, then how come he couldn't build a car to beat them?
People thinking Lando will win 10 races in a row don’t realize that it’s only been done once in the entire history of the sport.(We know who did it).
People Lando included acting like this has been going on for years lol.
If verstappen never finishes lower than 2nd, then no chance Lando gets the championship. I think Verstappen being that consistent with the current red bull is as unlikely as Lando winning more than 8 of the remaining races. A champion battle is possible but I doubt it will be because of fast lap bonus points.
Max has nothing left to prove he doesn't have to overdo it now and I think he realizes that.
Either way. With Lando using Max's saying, I fully expect Max to be his vengeful self this weekend
Yeah, Lando is a very ... interesting person like that. Either way, Max shouldn't be affected by that - because obviously, Lando is more concerned with Max than the other way around.
I think it would be funny to see Lando turning into an aboslute douche bag. He can join Hamilton and Russell with comments like that.
It would be even funnier to see Lando become overconfident and, like LawVS said, overdrive the car and paying the price with penalties.
Yeah, I was like "you are not that cool yet little boy, you have a LOOONG way in front of you...".
@@BruceKarrdeI noticed that after the Austria crash.
Norris almost crying, Max like "yea we'll talk in a few days, its not such a big deal".
The cooling off friendship between Max and Lando kinda reminds me of a reverse version of Rossi/Marquez, where Rossi had cooled at some point.
Also, and this might be my Dutch bias, but i haven't really been a big fan of Lando, ever since he got the podium places, it just looked like he could finally pull out his "big boy" attitude, with the (accidental)trophy smashing and stuff.
He changed into a kind of emotional brat, and sure Max also has his moments, but Max has always been like that.
Not that i dislike him, but he's not topping my list.
And yeah, in terms of Max being in damage limitation mode, it might be the case, especially since Red Bull themselve are already in the penalty territorium with some parts, maybe Max wasn't so much thinking about McLaren than about his own car and championship.
I like Lando myself but I do agree he's acting like he's the 💩out of nowhere like he's been doing this for years or something lol.
Without having seen the vid. Idk I feel like driving slower is just safe and smart (eg for the engine). If he can’t win, why push for it, where lando isn’t used to that, and pushed for the gap maybe?
Indeed. He's thinking ahead and also making a point.
@@LawVSyeah maybe. I’m still not fully convinced about him making a point. But it does make sense.
Also something interesting I found which I kinda think applies to f1. Veritasium made a video about how evolution may not have a maximum effectiveness. If it makes sense, I think f1 development works the same way?
@@LawVS He's already had penalties for going over his engine allowance so clearly wasn't thinking that much earlier in the season
Exactly. His only aim was to keep Charles behind so he kept a 6sec gap to Charles outside of an undercut. And the last 2 laps he simply brought the car home, gapisnt important at the finish.
"Who would you put in?"
A: "Valteri Bottas"
**Horner surprised Pikachu face**
Sounds like brundle is making a mountain out of a mole hill. An F1 car's mechanical components degrade throughout a whole race, so it's not uncommon to see drivers be morr conservative in their driving to avoid additional wear and tear (or worse, a crash) when they know they won't be able to make up the interval to the next position. Max already got one 10 place penalty last race for changing out his engine one too many times, why would he add on to that by driving aggressively if he wasn't gonna make up the difference anyway?
And sure, maybe in a certain way it helped to solidify his point to the red bull team, but if max was really holding back to prove a point, then what the hell was perez doing...?
Yes I agree with you. I don’t think max has it in him to lay down and not care during a race. Martin has been around f1 for decades idk why he would think that is the case.
Well said! Brundle is talking bs, as always
I frankly don't appreciate brundle's comments here. To claim any driver is underperforming deliberately is ridiculous.
Not underperforming, just managing stress on both tires and engine while keeping the position
Sorry, but why do you think that's ridiculous?
@@MacAnters Because he drives an armchair
No It's called damage limitation.
@@thephoenixfromtheashes I think what Brundle meant is that while Verstappen could drive at 90% to save tires/components he deliberately drove to say 80% to make it seem like RB were way slower than McLaren, giving them a crushing victory.
Or maybe it’s cuz mclaren just have NASA developing their car
NASA? Hopefully not, there's not much talent left at NASA. Those that are still there are nearing their pensions
@@Roguescienceguy me when i dont understand the joke
didnt know nasa's name was rob marshall
@@Roguescienceguy Says the guy that NASA wouldn't even look at his resume if he applied.
@@user-wc5lw7ps6h1 I wasn't even being offensive. NASA nowadays is basically a funding entity with some scientists doing mission-work. That's basically it. They have very few engineers left. Rockets and spacecraft are built by subcontractors. I have never worked for NASA indeed, but aerospace is close enough
It's more of a Lewis thing to do. Max is a straight talker, he doesn't play games. He was of course managing the gap to Charles seeing as he couldn't catch Lando
Exactly!!!!!
Surely the team can tell how hard Max is pushing? Isn’t there like a billion sensors on the car measuring, amongst other things, the driver’s inputs?
About the last point: Max is just really good at keeping his on-track focus and off-track personality separate. I think Lando is worse at this, and to keep his on-track focus he has to compensate by being colder off-track too.
You could be right abt Lando yes….or he is now showing his true colours and its clear he is no friend but simply was always jealous ofMax all this time and is now making remarks like ‘simply lovely’ that’s showing his jealousy of Max. Lando is not the nice person he pretended to be, that’s clear by now
difference is that Norris is dealing with the pressure, Max simply doesnt feel it. Bit like Oscar.
Newey also warned about diminishing returns as well
I’m just waiting for Zach and Toto to quip to the cameras that Horner should fix their car.
I'm not sure why Toto would join, as their car still is either behind Ferarri, or winning a race.
Horner isn't making desperate demands to change the rules to ensure they win races again, you're comparing applies and oranges. Also Toto is still behind both RBR and McLaren. Swing and miss lil' bro
Merc is slower than RBR. What are you on abt
@@BruceKarrdeif Legal 😂
The mclaren is very good in clean air. As lando showed in belgium and oscar showed in zandvoort it's not overly good in dirty air. I wouldn't be getting too carried away with lando's win. The planets aligned for him last week and I doubt that piastri had the full upgrades lando did. Lando and oscar have been within a tenth of each other most qualifying sessions so the fact that lando was half a second faster than piastri indicated that zak was giving lando a confidence boost by making sure that piastri didnt have the same car imo.
Exactly. However the media has eaten good with Lando's win.
The idea that this has to do with giving Lando a confidence boost is too speculative.
I saw from the Mclaren app that Tom Stallard I think said Oscar had only some of the upgrades in FP1 but from FP2 until the race both cars has the same upgrades.
All of the cars perform better in clean air, and worse in dirty air.
@@matthewsmith8249for some cars the difference is bigger than for others, McLaren is really night and day
If Lando had pushed hard throughout the race he would not have been able to do the fastest lap on the last lap with worn tires
The world does not want to see lando constantly win by 20 seconds, we want to see 3 or 4 teams fighting for wins.
Law, the car is hard to drive and the Red Bull organization has let both drivers down. I would be surprised if McLaren didn’t win the Constructors by at least 100 points and Lando didn’t win the Drivers by 30 or so. It seems there has been a .5-.7 shift in performance between Red Bull and McLaren so Red Bull going g from an advantage of .3/lap to being down .3-.4/lap. That’s great for McLaren but Red Bull have failed to develop their car in a very Aston Martin 2023 way. It’s like watching a train wreck over 10 weeks.
Max did not have the car to beat Lando, so he could drive as slowly as he wanted so as long as 2nd was secure, saving the engine and everything else in the process. It is hardly rocket science is it? Turning it into a conspiracy story that mMax was trying to make a point is just dumb. Max has no problem stating the obvious verbally.
Well said!!!!!!
Don't get me wrong, I'm fully invested and concerned about everything you said in the video, but the goofy Max picture in 18:57 just make me laugh hard :v
Interessant points. Thanks for the video!
Red Bull shot themselves in the foot with the high shoulder, Mercedes type concept from mid to late last season.
McLaren took the concept of the RB18/19, and ran with it... Finding things that Red Bull were unable to find
my favourite ladder person
Not really mine, but he is up there.
He needs to climb a couple more steps? 😂
Thing I’m kinda annoyed with is that Lando seems to have “changed” personality wise and to me he comes off very much not Lando like. He’s arrogant, takes the piss with other drivers with stabs underwater and he just seems like he isn’t enjoying it at all.
I have noticed that over the course of the season. He looks like he is trying too hard to be "super cereal."
@@matthewkulak5617I think it’s example max has set. It’s super lame. Remember when schumi broke into tears after equalling Senna’s win tally? Remember seb crying on the podium at abu dhabi? Remember jensen running down the straight at monaco? Where is the excitement now? Now they get asked about their wins and responds “uhhh i don’t really care”. They will retire and it will be as if they never were there.
he’s racing with the champions now so he has started acting like a champion
Well said
@@hugoharington263oh WoW you’re blaming Lando changing on Max now… geez. Your hate for Max is astonishing
Honestly, Max doesn't have anything to prove. Also, I'm happy there is more competition, but I don't really care for Lando as a driver. He's kind of annoying anytime he does an interview.
OK, I have a question: can McLaren legally use the exact same car in 2025 or do they have to change it in someway?
Dont think theres anything against it, Lotus ran the lotus 72 for like 7 years or smth, just that if they use the same car, chances are they will be slower compared to the rest next year if they dont develop it over the winter
@@srthebox4946 but I don’t think they will be slower because of the whole 2026 regulations and new rules,
I think most teams are gonna try and get the 2024 car spot on to give themselves the best shot at the 2026 regulations
How would RB19 fare today ?
I doubt it would be competitive in the least
@@toolegittoquit_001 yeah but the argument is that the focus will be on the 2026 cars so they wont be toooo far off this years cars
As long as the car adheres to the regulations still, yes. But as Law points out about halfway through the video, every team is constantly developing and even the super dominant RB car from last year would be midfield this year. As strong as McClaren's car is now, the same car one year from now would be mid
We could well see tracks that numb the RB weaknesses and Verstappen goes on to win. Why is a crushing Norris victory suddenly putting him in the championship fight when he is literally 70 points behind in the championship, with the only result we can base that assumption on being the literal last race? Yes RB has been caught but they still have the upper hand at least in the WDC versus Norris who has unfortunately failed at grabbing points from Verstappen at Silverstone and Belgium, with a grid penalty in the latter. Mercedes was the fastest car in Belgium, but RB were always stuck behind another car, Piastri himself said "clean air is king" so we cannot know how far off the mark the car that took pole by more than half a second really was on race day.
I'm all for close racing and a close championship fight, which we might get in the WDC, but let's try to ignore the recency bias on a WDC fight that will need a historic points swing to materialize.
We have to see both the perspectives of this
Max was slowing down for managing his tyres
But on the same time
Lando didn't pushed hard every lap bro was just enjoying the race
The thing i wanna say that lando wasn't extracting the full potential of the car until the last lap
So yeah max was indeed slowing down
But lando was also managing his pace and not pushing hard
If he would have done that the gap would be more like 35 38 seconds
So basically both correct nothing to see here
If they both pushed, which they never do, you would not know the gap…..
Remember when drivers who knew they couldn't beat the guy in front of them would slow down to save their tires or just not lose places? Now it's a political statement.
Exactly
"Wake up and smell the energy drink" - I think even Max Verstappen would have laughed at that!
Lando won’t win this weekend. The talk that he is going to win every race for the rest of the season, is crazy if you’ve been paying attention.
Lando is a great driver, but after the inlap of the Dutch GP I find him arrogant and sneaky…he mocked with Max by saying “simply lovely huh”… while Max was praising him after the race…that was enough for me to understand that this guy has issues and is not a real friend of Max…he is arrogant after 2 f**** GP wins🥴…I will appreciate him as a great driver, but as a person he is now an loser in my eyes….even he succeeds to win the championship this year.
But if max was going slow on purpose wouldn't the team know, he would have to lift significantly. I just don't see max doing something like that.
He copied Charles laptime to keep the gap. That’s it. Ppl claiming otherwise are simply Max haters telling lies
Should we be worried about the 2026 technical regulations? RB could be holding back this year as to prepare for 2026.
I agree about the "simply lovely" remark. It was a childish gesture.
🙄 only for those who are overly sensitive or do not understand what good natured ribbing is.
He's saying that if other drivers keep cutting him off just to take him out of the race, or
taunting him, one driver after another, how can he race if other teams are making him crash !!!
passing with DRS isnt really that impressive. DRS has watered down this sport incredibly
Yeah I see why they used drs but it was never intended to be around this long. I am curious how the active aero is going to be
So you don’t want any overtakes then…….
Just parades at each track….
Cos without DRS…we have no race…just a parade
Nonsense imo
Lando is playing a dangerous game when conaidering verstappen more of a rival than a friend, brocedes 2016 will be calling if it boils
there is no point to be earned with time gaps, Max, seeing that is car was not responding to his input might have thought that he should’nt push his car to the limits and try to hold his initial position
Exactly
I am NOT optimistic for redbull in 2026 without Newey. I genuinely don't think they are able to create a good car without him.
Norris won't get within 22.9 points of Verstappen in the WDC.
Hey Law
Have you seen the ferrari livery for monza because I haven't due to f1 not posting it
It leaked on Twitter already. No difference except for black numbers
Max on a go slow is still way faster than Perez.
Wrong . Perez had faster pace last weekend you casual

And didn’t make q3 50% of the time

@@YoungMaster_626 “your boy max” when he has a George Russel profile picture………
Max's fastest race lap at Zandvoort this year was almost a second slower compared to his fastest race lap in 2022 and 2023..
Meanwhile the fastest laps for Lando in the Mclaren and Lewis in the Mercedes were comparable to their fastest lap times in 2022 and 2023...
Interestingly, notice how all the commentary was about everyone else "catching up" rather than the reality of Redbull "inexplicably" dropping a boatload of pace and suddenly not being as good on tyre wear anymore
Such a mysterious mystery as to where all their pace went... 😂
F1 Official Commentators and insiders know what happened to Redbull, they're just gaslighting low info fans to cover their arses 😂
so what happend?
Redbull was 100% cheating and the FIA is covering for their failure to catch them for years.
@@TheVil91looks up the Redbull asymmetric braking story. Basically they cheated in a similar way to 2019 Ferrari
RB20 is faster than the RB19. Look at the Quali laps. Compare them.
You are such a Max/RBR hater that you try to proof your hate narrative with the wrong data 😂😂😂
Keep trying to proof your own delusions 😂😂😂😂😂
@@ergoproxy-gx2cq😂😂😂 wrong. The RB20 is faster than the RB19. Look at the Quali laps. Do compare 😂😂 McLaren gained more thime. RBR did not lose time.
Your childish hate against RBR is clouding your brain.
So ye, when we're gonna acknowledge that Jos Verstappen was actually right that Crhistian Horner is destroying the team? ;)
Didn't dispute it. Christian has made some very iffy choices that have gone against the team's own ethos
I think that driving slower to make a point is not to point out how slow the car is. It's too easy for them when looking at telematry. But it does show them he's not pushing it.
22.9 secs is massive!
What a switch 😱
Its wild all these thing going on at redbull atm
Makes me wonder about how things are looking for the 2026 season. I have a feeling Redbull could be behind on that, not helped by the personel they've lost
I really do wonder if Max is looking elsewhere for 2026 now all this is going on
which things? actually, we all do not know what is really happenning apart from the high-profile people at RB not liking each other.
@@izno73 higher ups conflict, and the lost of important personnel correlating with a drop in performance
It's looking like a potential downward spiral, not to mention keeping Perez (so far) despite his performance (which to me indicates they want to finish lower in constructors to get more wind tunnel because they're THAT behind (compared to where they've been))
There is also the factor that Ford will be returning to the sport as Red Bull new engine supplier. We all remember how bad Honda's engines were when they returned to the sport, and we can see right now with Alpine-Renault how a bad engine can doom a team.
If Ford fails to deliver, Max will leave, no question.

@@Deadlysparkwrong 😂😂😂 that’s all your hopium and fantasy lol
I'm SOOOOO excited to see Colapinto and Antonelli rock FP1. It's a wild year.
Rock? 😂😂😂😂 they will drive a car. Nothing more 😂😂😂
To me the funniest part is that 22.9 seconds is nothing compared to the 32+ seconds in Hungary last year.
(Point being: It’s not like Max Verstappen fans have no retort.)
Are you upset?
Been watching for months and I still dk why you film in the attic?😂
My theory - Max knew he wasn't going to catch Lando, so he decided to save the engine and drive at 90%.
we know that lestappen is the real think
Who designed the current Red Bull car? Newey, Wache or ???
Wache
B.S.
being beaten by even 10 seconds will send a wake-up message to the formerly overwhelmingly dominant team.
My wish is that Redbull get General Mills as a sponsor, and we could do a Coco Puffs livery in honor of Horner's achievements.
19:36 very much like Jamaican athlete Usain Bolt coming off the throttle 10 meters before the finish line.
Settling for P2 because you feel the car isn't handling well enough for P1, isn't the same as "driving slowly on purpose". This is unhinged rhetoric.
the reason the gap lando made in the last race doesn't matter as much as what max did is because max was sandbagging.
22.9? A sad Verstappen face? I might put that on my RC F1. Thanks for the idea!
He had a decent race, really that's all he needed.
I wonder if his rivals will be so considerate when racing him?
He was also managing his tyres so yeah, he needs to slow down as well.
Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things 😁👍
Competition is great so if Max & Rbr arent winning 24/7 its when F1 & FIA & fans wanted,only problem i see is McLaren and since 07 whenever they are fighting up there i keep remember how they acted(greanted that era was a shady era for them & their boss).
Imagine being so good that when you lose by 20s, people assume it's on purpose LOL
I don’t think McLaren is mature enough to turn down engines even if they have a 20s lead … they will probably be thinking that if a tyres blows up we need that gap kinda mindset..
I can see your point. It's been such a rare moment for them relatively speaking that they will go all out to ensure they win...then the engines will wear out. It's a long game.
Lando set the fastest lap on the last lap. He wasn't pushing. McLaren is very much a mature team. They've hired veterans, not noobs.
visited the F1 exhibition. was nice, but wasn’t worth the money honestly. £15-20? sure. but £38? nah
Red Bull only cares about max winning and challenging Lewis’s records so max is under most pressure but Lando can’t do it
Especially the 2 seconds in the last lap do mean literally nothing because there Norris took the fastest lap, which is obiously faster then your usual race lap time.
Except that Leclerc also catched those 2 seconds up in the last lap
Imagine Alonso as Max's team mate
Its like Lando is driving last years RB, n Max has last years MB. 😮 Max needs a car based off last years car. Not a new design like Max has been running.
Max holding back is just trying to lessen mclarens acchievement, and max acting like he did that is him taking the opportunity to look less bad. Just one moment of lando going wide or a safety car and max could have taken the lead, no way he'd give lando a free pit stop. And even if he wasn't pushing hard, neither was lando. Him taking the fastest lap on those old hards away from lewis on fresh softs, having spent the last few laps chilling, charging the battery (which takes at least 2 laps on full recharge mode) shows, how much pace was left there.
What a load of bull. Max did only keep the gap to Charles to secure P2. He knew Lando was too fast. The gap has no meaning at all. And Max never said he did that on purpose. Again LIES by you. He said he simple focused on securing P2. That’s it.
i think this is a take but i personally believe that max isnt the type to make a hass fast if you get me, im willing to be convinced tho
Lando learnt how to drive the old wild bronco McLaren that spat Ricciardo out. Now he has a stable reliable car, people are finally getting to see his speed and driving skill.
Wrong. Its a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CAR NOW……
Niki Lauder - "Win at the slowest speed possible."
Now I don't know if Max is capable of being that calculating, but if you know you can't win why drive any harder than required to safely maintain your position? Better for you, better for the car, and doing so may give your rivals a false impression of their 'dominance' - next time a small loss may become nicking a win because your rival misjudged you. ...or maybe Max really is sending the team a message - who knows?
PS: Good though he undoubtedly is, if I was a team boss I wouldn't want Max because I'd get his dad too.
I think max golden years are OVER, 🥵
Anything brundle on max is highly suspicious. He hates the guy for denying his bromance's 8th title
I've heard talk of a contrary bias for years. Seems to be the go-to claim when you have no argument: Oh he's biased against my guy, no evidence, he just is.
Redbull needs to get right a few times for max to be able to win. Zeropods are cursed. Redbull went merc 2022 in mid season. 🤷♂️
no veiws in 1 minute, fell off ( love ur content)
I'm so tired of Norris attitude. He should be careful about being this arrogant and cocky, but I bet he will drown in his own ego. Poor dude.
Even if he wins 4 titles on a row, he won't beat Max. He won't be one of the greats looking down on others. And one thing all the greats have is immense respect and admiration for their rivals. Something Norris doesn't seem to have now, apparently.
You're saying that as if Schumacher, Senna, Prost etc didn't act the same way at times
1:14 to make that type of merch we will need to ignore max lappin the field and winning by 30 seconds like he did last year 😂
Usually these cover interesting ground or at least nuanced takes. This was much ado about nothing.
Short of a Max DNF, the driver's championship is likely safe even though most of us hope it isn't. Just look how many points McLaren have squandered so far already this season: it's very unlikely Lando is suddenly going to turn into Max and rattle off an incredible succession of wins till the end of the season. Besides Singapore, it seems unlikely Max will finish outside the top 4 a single time. We'd all love to see it, but 70 points in 9 races seems too little, too late barring a Max DNF.
Also reading way too hard into bringing the car home. Max did that all the time when in first. Why is there any drama about doing it in 2nd when you know there's no way you'll catch Lando and p3 is well enough behind?
in times like these i remember marko saying that max could win a race in a haas......oh boy that sure aged nicely
Nobody has ever closed this large a gap with only 9 races to go.
So Max will win the title. (Except james hunt. And we all know what happened to let that happen, so lets not do that...)
Its still nice to see different race winners though.
Everything never happened for the first time… until it does. 😊❤
Unless it's mathematically impossible, there's always a chance
so basically red bull is yugoslavia
Just let Max sim race again
Reasons…..
OH! About the Red Bull squabbles, when Horner leaves, god forbid, they instantly become Lotus😳. Think on that.

Toto has offered an open invitation for max to join Mercedes. Max may actually move to Mercedes for 2026
He doesn't care for the team drama. He just wants a top car again. He's making his point to the team that they better fix the car.
I doubt 2026 simply because he will not make a move without knowing what the 2026 cars (and engines and fuel) are like. Unless he sees something in Red Bull development that really concerns him. He’s not going to jump ship when there’s a possibility they nail the 2026 regulations better than anyone else.
Not as easy going back to asymmetric breaking 😂😂😂
Reminds me of the early 90s when active suspension got banned, another Adrian newey car that wasn’t the same after banned enhancements. Car suddenly went from the fastest to having major balance issues.
I just became a billionaire selling 22.9 Sad Max shirts, thanks mate! 🎉
Max was driving slower on purpose and still got second place lmao
Max in the thumbnail is hilarious my god that's what got me to click on the video.
There's another possibility here. #TeamMV will have a big cry about this, but, it's not exactly a ssecret that Max has a complicated relationship with his pride, his ogo, and how much being exceedingly successful F1 driiver makes up a huge part of his identity. He's been the best most of his life, and clearly had success and winning absolutely rammed into him relentlessly from a young age. Sooooo if he was struggling, and his inner thoughts weren't liking it too much, then backing off a bit gives him that as an excuse. Backing off and losing 20 seconds may seem a whole lot better to him than not backing off and losing by 15s.
Just a thought. Max is a complicated lad in that sense, so whom knows?
Oh boy….you childish Max hate and jealousy is showing.
What a childish tantrum…geez grow up
You clearly know NOTHING ABT MAX 😂😂😂😂
Being a F1 driver is not his identity 😂😂😂😂
Max is Max, the private Max, who loves, breaths, eats racing. Not F1.
He can walk away at any moment without any regret.
Its his JOB not his life.
That’s why he wants to retire young, to live his life. F1 is his job.
You childish hater HAVE NO CLUE who Max is. Cos you don’t watch his interviews…. Cos if you did, you would know how wrong your comment is.
@Redlingstein lmao. I neither hate him, had a tantrum in any way, shape or form, and I'm not jealous of Max. He's just a dude on the TV. Your knee-jerk reaction to come at me aggressively on the other hand, is worthy of a "what a childish tantrum...geez grow up".
Yes, more like this, ideas and speculation, and less Crofty cringe dad jokes and British jingoism with a dash of Piastri fanaticism; Excellent!
