DCJonah Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Just on my way back from silverstone. Anyone but Max but he did look fast throughout. Can't see the Merc challenging much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 (edited) Why to British F1 fans hate Max? Assume it's because he's main rival to Hamilton and how last season ended Edited July 2, 2022 by CVByrne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Max has been brilliant since he joined F1. He has an edge to him and lots of raw talent. I think he's great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, he’s given the sport a shot in the arm in terms of entertainment value. It would be pretty dull right now without him I think.

I agree that Max is super talented, I just don't like him. He is an even better driver this season than he was last. He is calmer, more calculated. It is the worst thing that could have happened for his opponents because his risk taking could be reckless and was his greatest flaw. Maybe he would take more risks in a tighter fight, but he seems to have learned the long game and it is to his credit. I have to admire his talent as he passed all my checklist of what makes a great driver, watching him perform in changeable conditions as they were today is one of them. For me though it is a personality thing. I think he is a dick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Hamilton is a dick, I know to British fans they don't see it because obviously you support your own drivers. Lots of people hated Schumacher. Alonso is a dick but he's in many peoples opinions the most talented driver of his generation. I think to have the edge you need to be unlikeable somewhat. Kinda like say Roy Keane effect. People might fear you a bit more out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Lewis goes, Max will wipe the floor with everyone else, and he'll eventually be the Hamilton to the next Max or lesser equivalent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's great. Agreed. I know he’s an arse (and I do wind people up on here about him) but I’m also a fan, I really enjoy his racing. Leclerc and Norris are my other two faves, and who doesn’t love Daniel Ricciardo. Max is something different though. (And I don’t like Lewis cos he’s the happiest man alive when in front with nobody chasing, when he’s in the fastest car, but as soon as somebody gets close he’s moaning and blaming everybody else and just acting like a prick).

choffer Posted July 3, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 3, 2022 F1 to me is a lot like the old sketch, I think it was on Big Train. I won’t link to it as I’ve been several months without warning points but the conversation through the last page or so of this thread reminded me of it. You go down the list of current (and former) F1 drivers and its: w*nk, w*nk, w*nk, good guy, w*nk, w*nk, good guy, w*nk. You probably have to know the sketch or this post is going to sound like I’m knocking one out over most F1 drivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
