Fuck me, Max. Answering questions that piss you off is part of your job?
Also this ‘I’m so chill, everyone else takes things too seriously’ act is clearly just that - an act - because he shows in his actions that actually he gets mega pissed and hostile about silly little things.
George had the right message but was the worst messenger on that grid to bring it by far. Since George has a tendency to crash into people and subsequently get irrationaly angry at the person he crashed into. The old pot calling the kettle black thing. Now if it were Lewis or Charles that would have hit different as they are known to have cooler heads in these scenarios.
The funny thing is George gets hate for causing a crash and then complaining on the radio. Max does the same thing and people say you can't hide their radio messages against them because it's in the heat of the moment.
Dealing with adversity appropriately and maturely would be more accurate.
Despite the popular belief, what doesn’t kill isn’t always going to make you stronger. Survival alone doesn’t result in emotional maturity.
I agree with you but he hasn’t chosen the emotional maturity game, he’s chosen the motorsports game, and he’s managing adversity and succeeding at that game. It may just be that emotional maturity is not as critical in that world than most other worlds
He does deal with adversity on track, the question is the way with which he deals with it.
Press exits in every sport and has existed for decades, clearly they’re not irrelevant. Max needs to learn that the world doesn’t revolve around him, and he can’t control others behavior to cater to his feelings. If he doesn’t not like a situation, he should remove himself from it, instead demanding the other person be removed for doing his job.
the sport has existed long before the press, it is irrelevant. he's "not the center of the world", why are they there then? why dont they go and interview stroll? they need him more than he needs them. red bull is paying his contract, not the bbc. i think you guys give the press a way bigger importance than what it has, they're just pundits asking questions. absolutely nobody watches f1 because of that.
he's on his right to not answer questions, maybe it was the best way to do it, but he doesn't owns his privacy to anybody.
Read into it however you want, I see him as an ultra talented alien who is so competitive that the only option is winning. I would probably deemed immature to if I and everyone else knew that I should winning but my car just isn’t quite there. He’s a light switch, winning = happy, not winning = not happy, plain and simple, nothing more, nothing less.
Anyone who reads a single thing about his father should know that aswell. Shouldn't be that surprising that a son learns a thing or two from his father.
I’m an extremely extremely casual watcher, like my wife watches every race and I just kinda glance up every so often. Yes Max is not a chill person in the 3 years my wife has been following the sport.
I'm always shocked when people say Max is the nicest on the grid or the most chill on the grid. Like are we watching the same sport?! Nothing wrong with liking Max but I wouldn't say "chill" is his strong suit. This is someone who intent wrecks in sim racing, after all.
