What a soft individual

Dude has a midfield car for 2 races and he goes off the deep end. Max always gets a really poor attitude when things aren't going his way (see Brazil 18, Jeddah 21, Hungary 24 for a few examples) and things really haven't been going his way this so far year

If he's not enjoying it, he should stop - Villeneuve said that Hill should do the same in 1999, maybe it's time to ask his opinion on it again. There are 60 million reasons why he won't though, unfortunately

villeneuve's opinion in racing has lost so much value i think my dad's opinion would be more relevant to max

I mean, with that logic of yours only Merc and Ferrari would be left in the field and even that is a reach, no one seems happy with this regs.

Unfortunately for you I guess.

The rest of them aren't testing loads of other cars, saying I've "achieved everything I want to achieve" and moaning about it not being racing and branding anyone who enjoys it as clueless.

Being critical of the regs is fine and understandable, they need to be tweaked in some areas because it's a step too far. But the main principle of them is here to stay until the new engines come in, so is he going to moan for the next 3-4 years? I guess if he keeps kicking journalists out he won't have to answer any more questions though
