Ted saying that no driver has had this level of attention on them since Michael Schumacher...
Gentlemen, a short view into the past; Max's debut season, his Red Bull debut, the literal rule changed as a result of his debut in the sport... oh and everyone and their mother calling Kimi Max 2.0 and Toto's second chance at signing debut!Max since he failed the first time around...
#max verstappen#f1#formula 1#formula one#the sky sports commentators were literally clutching their pearls when max debuted 😭✋️#and practically screaming crying throwing up after the red bull switch was announced#gleefully questioning whether he was ready for it#him then winning his debut red bull race was chefs kiss#also... you can't really compare the attention schumi got#we've seen glimpses of it no question with the attention max & charles get#especially Charles as he is the predestined son of ferrari#ferrari is a religion after all#but schumi was on a whole another level#i can see max & charles reaching and exceeding it#but it was an insane level of attention#in the peak of paparazzi#the 90s and early 2000s were something else#not to say it's gotten better because it really hasn't but the way its done has changed#adapted to better suit the world of digital media so to speak#schumi was a cultural phenomenon to a lot of people including baby me he was f1 he was ferrari#i'ma stop before i start writing an essay about how Michael was F1's Diana because i feel thats where my head is at the moment lmao#also not ted also forgetting seb#my man got a penalty 6 seconds into f1 career 😭✋️#and was quickly dubbed the crash kid#max was crashtappen#max seb michael were all labelled aggressive#seb & michael only got appreciation when they were leaving/ when they left the sport#the history book on the shelf is always repeating itself

If it’s possible could do something alternative where Michael Schumacher is perfectly well and meets our precious flower fairy. Since she is so mesmerized with Mick, Gina, and Corinna and think of them as fairytale royalty. When she meets Schumi, she politely curtsied and gives him a huge bouquet of flowers.
There was a buzz around the paddock that Michael was going to be at the race, and of course that meant YDN was excited to see another Schumacher. She adored the whole family and in her eyes she thought they were fairytale royalty. She had hand picked flowers and walked into Mick’s paddock, she gave one flower to Mick and Gina, and two for Corinna. ‘Where’s Michael?’ she asks as Corinna picks her up, effortlessly. ‘Hello, you must be YDN’ Michael smiles as he makes his way over to them. She holds her skirt out and curtsied and gives him the flowers, he gasps and thanks her. He kneels down on her level as they both have big smiles on their faces as they interact.
