btw when lewis and max were embroiled in one of the most intense and to the wire championship battles they sprayed each other. they always did. ham-bot-ver podiums were never toxic. max and george literally have to be sat away from each other at driver dinners and they sprayed each other and clinked their bottles. the lack of sportsmanship that mclaren drivers display is nothing more than the physical presentation of their profound mediocrity. they are not good and they will never be great. worst of all they know it and it shows. it shows in their trite reactions, it shows in their lack of care for their fellow drivers, it shows in them ignoring each other. this is the most exciting sport in the world and lando and oscar are commiting the worst possible crime against it. they are making me bored.

What a beautiful day for my toxic family!!

Saying this next to George ahh 😭

seb’s rebrand is crazy because he would’ve done what max did, told mark webber to go fuck himself (regardless on if he was involved), and then hit on a reporter and/or grid girl on live tv after the race

#i need a gun for anyone who's talking shit about max rn

#mad max is so back we have missed you

me when i write my whole thesis about how the mad max who gets emotional on the track and yells at his team in hungary and crashes into the side of a competitor in spain is the same max who walks on water in brazil and pulls off overtakes we've never seen before in imola. it's all the same max and you can't have his brilliance without his occasional over the line driving. he's was never mad max he's just max trying to get the best results

nico rosberg commentating sky ger fp3 - spanish gp 2025

they have commented on almost nothing happening on track, just full hour of gossiping. it was beautiful.

- nico got praised for being able to switch between languages by the other commentator

- called fernando one of the best of all times, said it‘s crazy how long ago his last win has been, but that it is his own damn fault that he isn‘t a five time wdc like he could be bc he kept burning bridges. he said he personally has no problem with fernando though

- said oscar is first in the wdc standings because he has a „solid & stable mentality“ and norris in his opinion has a bit more natural talent but is too insecure. he said they have an „interesting dynamic“

- says mental strength is super important because you will be thinking about all of it in the car. eg. „oh i hope i don‘t mess this up again“ „i hope my teammmate isn‘t faster than me again“ (projecting?)

- on briatore: „he slowly snuck back into the sport again,“ then explained all of crashgate & said that it caused him to lose his first win because he was in second when it happened. he said briatore technically isn‘t even allowed to be tp because he has not contract with alpine? he‘s technically still only an advisor. nico said „he is a legend though.“

- called nico hülkenberg one of the best qualifiers of the last season but he has been lacking this season

- said audi should be more ambitious about their goal to start being good in 2030 & that is is problematic how many times they changed leader positions already.

- praised alex & said carlos is in an unconfortable spot because alex is the stronger driver this season. said carlos should be stronger because alex is „no leclerc“

- called james vowles an „absolute genius“ & that he brought structure and communication to the team and that is why they are doing so well this season

- said toto had to start micromanaging & became an aero expert because their team has been so bad in that department

- said fred is „phenomenal“ in bringing talent together and finding talents.

- said they got a ton of guidelines on what they could & could not ask vasseur & the ferrari drivers during press, so you can see that the pressure is there.

- said he got strict instructions & what he was allowed to ask lewis & the other guy on commentary laughed & said „i wonder why“ (i have the clip, will translate & upload later)

- interviewed james vowles: nico asked about his & totos „beef.“ saying: „well did you talk or were you yelling at each other?“ james said they were talking

- nico & the other commentator were making fun of the optics of the yelling between toto & vowles in the paddock (again have the clip, will translate & upload later)

- said lawson was never that impressive in his earlier career

- praised isack for driving incredibly & mentally recovering so easily from the australia crash

- talked about the importance of a good race engineer

- said the worst thing that can happen to a driver is the wind changing during a session (important for an engineer to tell their driver about it)

- said between fp3 & quali, a driver has no downtime. they mainly spent the break in front of the computer looking at data

- nico told his engineer back in the day that he needs him to be more motivated when he is doing bad, because he cannot do well when his engineer sounds like „he‘s falling into deep depression“

- max put a faster lap than george & nico said he still thought george‘s was more impressive

- „it‘s the max verstappen factor that is beating the mclarens, not the redbull. that red bull is definitely worse. sometimes by a lot“

- he called max one of the top 5 drivers the sport has ever seem

- was incredibly impressed by oscars fastes lap

- he said - „with all due respect“ - that norris engineer was wrong when saying the car only had proposing because nico actually heard the cars floor hit the curb. nico proposed sending the engineer a whatsapp to tell him that.

- said it was „a really hard setback for hamilton just now“ when his lap time was so far behind oscar (7/10th) & charles (4/10ths). said it must be so hard for him but also that the ferrari has been looking bad all weekend

Nico Rosberg calling Horner a great lobbyist, praising Laura Müller‘s excellent reputation and women in engineering, revealing contract talks with Briatore in his bedroom while being terrified of him, giving insider information over McLaren’s management changes leading to performance gains, mentioning Lewis Hamilton 2467 times, fielding a thousand questions about teammate rivalry and the “super interesting” Landoscar dynamic, calling Max the driver of the year performing “a work of art” while reminiscing about his past trauma in 2016 and glazing his Imola overtake, flat out telling Fred his car looked the most difficult and worst to drive before asking him how long Charles will wait for Ferrari to get their shit together (and don’t forget that“poor Lewis”), calling Kimi a generational talent like Verstappen or Hamilton, admitting to swallowing a microchip????, watching Yuki’s media pen interview and calling Max a “teammate killer”, saying there’s “a lot of blah blah blah” from every driver for downplaying the technical directive, glazing and comforting George in equal measure, calling Isack a star of the year and asking if Racing Bulls expected it (they didn’t) while low key telling him to run if Red Bull comes calling, hyping up Lando’s confidence levels post Monaco, saying that Nando would be a five time wdc if not for his career moves, and don’t forget “no I won’t help you Lewis Hamilton”- all the while knowing and explaining incredible amounts of wheel and being respectful to all drivers. And it’s only practice day.

Crane: Diogo is flirting with the rear end of Max, my god.

Max: Diogo is super fast in that hairpin, I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

Crane: You gotta be careful, you're gonna be impregnated by him.

Max: Mate wut? lovely.

red bull tried a crazy strategy and it didn't work but it also didn't backfire on max either + two good pitstops + spain td next week good day at the office for max i think

[maxvault]

3 points difference between oscar and lando and spain is next so how about recreating spain 2016 so that max is on equal points with oscar.

[maxvault]

Lando said I'm anti lestappen and decided to win both Zandvoort 24 and Monaco 25 while Max and Charles looked like they're about to end it 😭😭

[maxvault]

brazilian crowd chanting “é campeão” in são paulo. tifosi singing “du du du max verstappen” in imola. two of the most racing passionate nations are cheering for the dutchman !!! you can't make this up !!!

[maxvault]

the crowd singing "DU DU DU DU Max Verstappen" during the podium is so iconic

[maxvault]

#Like honestly wtf did I just watch

IF YOU TALK TO ME ABOUT SOME SHIT CALLED A “MIAMI 2025 SPRINT RACE” I WILL KILL MYSELF

[maxvault]

Someone give Alex a massage as a birthday gift, his back must be hurting from carrying the team.
