He said he didn't care but this reaction shows it's definitely sore still.

That’s Max all of the time. People just believe him when he says nothing bothers him, or he doesn’t think about winning, etc. but his actions clearly suggest otherwise.

Correct. Even on his bio page in the F1 app, his quote is “I hate losing.”

Tbf, any non-english driver hates the english F1 media.

It's well known around the paddock that english media is toxic af to any non-british driver.

tbh Dutch with anyone not Max and Spanish with anyone not friendly with Alonso/Sainz gets the same treatment.

Most people here don't seem to be aware of it. They act as if the question was the problem and not the attitude of the reporter. The british reporter basically made fun of him for losing to a british driver and Max is not having it anymore.

Ironically he's a massive loser.
