New Hulkstappen news as Hulk “reveals relationship”. Does this mean Hulk has known Max since he was literally a baby?

I don't know if anyone non German or Dutch follows their friendship at all but it is criminally underrated and such a bromance.

Constant cute nicknames in Dutch & German including Hulk calling Max “lekker ding” (hot stuff pretty much) and a variety of pastries such as “poffertges”.

Also not cute nicknames they have greeted each other with “rucker” (wanker) in the past in a joking way on more than one occasion.

They refer to each other as friends and apparently have helped out each other in qualifying multiple times not just Imola.

When he wasn't on the grid Max mentioned how he should still be and how much better Hulk was than a lot of other drivers.

Hulk one of the more complimentary drivers to Max when he first started saying repeatedly that he wasn't too aggressive and just actually racing.

Max sells Hulk’s helmets and merch on verstappen.com

Just how physically comfortable they are with each other and how they're always chatting and in each other’s space when the drivers are all together.

Dutch speakers on the grid unite

[thissying]

There's an interview with Nico Hulkenberg in the Dutch Grand Prix Special 2024 with a part about Max as well which I don't have time to post and translate right now but this bit:

"When Max and I talk we usually do so in Dutch or English. And when we do we always tease each other a bit: he teases me about my Dutch and I tease him about his German. How? In German interviews Max always uses the word 'of course': of course this, of course that, yes of course... Just pay attention to it, haha."

What is Audi cooking, though? Jonathan is a HUGE steal, and I wonder if his leaving is one of the reasons why RBR pitstops have sucked ass as off late.

Imagine if Max to Audi... Hulkstappen dream might come true. Also hilarious to think that if Binotto tried to finger-wag Max like he did Charles he would get his finger bitten off

[afterredlights]

I'm so- I'm so, so happy for no reason.

It's only Q2, and I've yelled stop the clock twice already.

Would be great to see a Haas or Williams up there though, just a change of scenery :)

Baku promoting Hulkstappen agenda and I am here for it

The Hulkstappen friendship is so underrated it's actually criminal.

[rorylovesf1]

forget lestappen. forget maxiel. HULKSTAPPEN is where it’s at ‼️

[grogumaximus]

[formulaocean]

Nico Rosberg talking about Checo’s mental health, how important a driver’s mentality can be, how it would be stupid to put a rookie in the other red bull, how Hulk has deserved better cars than he got and Hulkstappen friendship, how Hungary has always been one of Lewis’s favourite tracks and talking about his records once again, how he only calls James Vowles by his surname because that’s how James referred to him, how he’s consistently praising drivers rather than criticising them (especially George).

Real F1 commentary is back. Here’s hoping we see more of him this weekend!

Grill the Grid 2024 : Earliest F1 Winners

topical since we've had two first wins this season!

‘bad bad news’ - oscar

everyone putting lewis at the top immediately ✧ ‘so FEWEST we’ve got LEWIS’ - charles ✧ both charles and zhou going well that’s it then

seeing some of the drivers put themselves right at the bottom...

logan pronouncing it bow tahs.

daniel not being able to talk and stick

zhou criticising the stickiness of the labels

‘EYE am. I will say pretty close to max’ - charles

majority putting max and charles together even if it’s not historically accurate. classic

'fangio bwugh' - alex

most of them think fangio's quite high up but higher than lewis? surely not :0

george straight up calling checo 40 like he isn’t 5 whole years younger than his lewis + mutiple people saying he's been around for a while but not mentioning the geriatrics (I’m not pressed I just think it’s funny) ✧ also checo’s little cough after hearing the 190…

I see u hulkenberg… momentarily rating max above lewis… hulkstappen ftw

charles seemingly on first name basis with everyone. except fangio (michael. lewis. seb. max. jenson. checo. ayrton. daniel. cahlos)

charles’ little smile when she said ‘right on time very good’

‘i've been incredible’ vs ‘so I did terrible thank you very much’ charlos u rock my world

TINY DRIVERS PHOTOS FROM THEIR FIRST WINS ✧ charlos’ just being the official f1 pics... editor why…

charles asking her to go through them all in order. if I speak.

oscar saying ‘kind of sort of but no’ to her ‘kind of sort of yeah’ ✧ ‘but im not gonna get ANY points’ - joint first ✧ aussie lockout for first place for this challenge !

daniel’s ‘im gonna do some quick math’ ‘you’re good at this apparently’ - gets it wrong twice

not me also saying 33 for charles… the lestappen brain rot is real (he won it on his 34th so he’d had 33 races before his first win, and ofc the 33 is the stat I remember)

[wintergreenoreo]

for the ask game! 🗣️

1. would you say f1 is your favorite sport?

2. lestappen or maxiel? (🤭)

4. norstappen or carlando?

24. underrated ship you like?

32. who would win a fist fight: pierre gasly or esteban ocon?

39. would you rather learn french from pierre gasly, esteban ocon or charles leclerc?

47. pick a fantasy teammate pairing: oscar piastri/valterri bottas or daniel ricciardo/carlos sainz

54. which driver would you rather have as an older brother?

Hola P 🤗

1. would you say f1 is your favorite sport?

F1 is definitely up there on my favorites list but im gonna have to say that Basketball takes the title of my favorite sport.

2. lestappen or maxiel?

P… how could you make me choose between two evils 😭 my answer is no to both but if i was forced to choose I’ll pick Maxiel cause at least they actually have chemistry and cute moments together.

4. norstappen or carlando?

While Norstappen has been growing on me lately, i could never not choose Carlando. They were the first ever F1 ship I got into and everything about them just melts my heart. 🥰🥰

24. underrated ship you like?

I really love Hulkstappen and i think they’re not talked about enough. Nico and Max have such a cute history together. The way Max gets so flirty with every old man thats near him and how Nico reciprocates the flirting back it makes me crazy. He has cute little nicknames for him to like UGH 😫 they need more attention!!

32. who would win a fist fight: pierre gasly or esteban ocon?

Pierre is a sopping wet dog and Esteban is a tall rabid squirrel so i think id pick Esteban to win that fight.

39. would you rather learn french from pierre gasly, esteban ocon, or charles leclerc?

My heart is saying none of them but I’ll just pick Pierre cause his voice is the only one i can actually stand.

47. pick a fantasy teammate pairing: oscar piastri/valtteri bottas or daniel ricciardo/carlos sainz?

Fantasy as in dream pairing: Oscar and Valtteri most definitely that would be the chilliest duo ever. Fantasy as in betting: I have to go Daniel and Carlos cause there is no way in hell im betting my money on a fucking Sauber. 💀

54. which driver would you rather have as an older brother?

I’d have to go with Oscar. He is like 3 years older than me and I think we would vibe so well together.

ASK GAME

[lost-in-fandoms]

i know it's all already been settled and this is a useless thought experiment, but I think that of all the older men in max's life the second red bull seat should go (and i'm gonna go against my own maxiel wishes here) to nico hulkenberg.

not as much of a fight as someone like carlos or fernando would be, seems like a decent team player when he wants to be, the real mr saturday who has dragged his haas in places where it doesn't even belong, would be happy to commit some crimes for max or just to help in general, would make max happy to have him around because they're already besties, would be cool to have two dutch speakers on the same team, could maybe finally give nico his win, would love to see him on the podium with his family under it cheering for him.

thank you for your attention.
