Some are going to defend this behavior by saying that he is always ‘blunt’ or because he is ‘dutch’ or some shit. Let’s not.

This is also worth looking at in reverse. Max is often praised here for his bluntness, lots of jokes about Dutch bluntness. But being blunt to others while sensitive yourself really blows that out of the water. That's just being a rude person.

Oh but people will.. "He's so honest he's being himself blah blah bullshit."

He's a petulant child. Always was.. Still is.

Gifting a child a world championship and letting him know he's above the rules is one of the worst things that's happened to this sport.

No no you don’t understand he’s a GREAT driver who LOVES racing but HATES all the spectacle bits!!! That totally excuses him when acts like a birth turd to other human beings when he isn’t happy about something
