#max retires 2024

[bigshunt]

My big prediction for the year is that Max retires if he wins the WDC.

Or at least takes a year off.

The way he's been moving since Hungary... I am getting a vibe. Happy to be proven wrong but making the claim now so I have to be held accountable at the end of the year haha

Liam has riled Checo up to the point he is a hairsbreadth from admitting ON THE RECORD that Red Bull did Daniel dirty.

Him! The man who arguably benefited MOST from the way it went down.

Red Bull downfall imminent, say yes.

ooooh the Red Bull drivers are fighting FIGHTING 🤭🤭🤭

For someone who hates PR and hates dealing with the media, Max Verstappen sure picked the funniest way to win the PR battle with PR expert GR, Toto and the British Press, he fully Peeta "If it wasn't for the baby" Mellarked it 💀😭✋️

Max about retirement: "Not yet. I have a contract till 28, that always going to be the target. It hard to know what happens in 29 so we will see"

With all these retirement rumours istg Max just stay for one year. ONE YEAR. Let Ferrari give Charles a championship winning car(I'm delulu) next year and PLEASE live out your dreams of a Lestappen championship title fight WITH LECLERC winning his first ever WDC and Ferrari winning WCC and THEN only then you can retire from F1, FOLLOW EACH OTHER BACK BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO REASON NOT TO NOW and start playing padel together everyday 😔❤️

I fucking told ya'll to pour one out for the PR teams and I was RIGHT!

Lando Norris does not have a champion's mentality and it's going to deteriorate his passion for this sport in the long term, maybe even make him lose chances of achievement. At a gap of 62 points he has already crumbled under pressure and is surrounded by doom and gloom in his head.

Max said that both championships aren't a possibility at this point in time, and Norris dismissed Max's concerns and essentially said that "even if I win every race, he's [Max] is still in a better position". While that is certainly true, Max hasn't won a GP since Barcelona, McLaren has had a rocketship longer than that, it is entirely on the team to not snatch a golden opportunity.

Charles Leclerc, who got lapped in 3 out of 4 races, was still optimistic about winning both the WDC and WCC. Even before he won at Monza. His difference to Max is 86 points, but you still see that he's ready to fight for the title even if it might be a little unrealistic. The 2024 season has really shown why you need the fastest driver, even if you don't have the fastest car. Oscar has shown more resilience and hunger than his senior, who has 4+ years more experience in F1. Simply on logistics, McLaren and Lando could take the wins this year, but it will never be an earned victory, as simple as that.

a little something I totally forgot to post on here after last Sunday,,, so enjoy some badly-written-because-written-at-6am little snippet for Max's 4th championship <3

Daniel hasn’t watched the race. He didn’t think it’d that good for either his mental or physical health, his legs often jumpy when he watches f1 onboards now that he isn’t the one sitting in the car, now that what he has behind his back is the soft cushiony material of his sofa and not the harsh, too-hot metallic seat that barely separates him from the rumbling engine. He doesn’t allow himself to dwell on that too much usually.

He thought he should watch the Grand Prix at first, because it was obvious Max was going to win the championship at the end of it, even if he didn’t step on the podium because, let’s be honest, the Ferarris and Mercedes had been doing a hell of a job all week end, and even Daniel, who made a point of not keeping himself informed on neither practice sessions or qualifying, knew that.

But then he thought better. He remembered he would’ve had to watch Christian’s face contort in hat sick smile and all the team's sparkly eyes look at the screens in front, above or under them, all showing Max with four fingers pointing to the sky, helmet still probably over his head because Max can’t stop himself from not showing when he’s emotional, turning his teary vision green-ish and tears hidden. 

So, Daniel hasn’t watched it. 

And when he gets a call from an ex-teammate, red in the face and blue in the eyes, photo all blurry from one of their first ever meetings outside of work, smile real, real, real like it always is, Daniel is grateful for that. Because he gets to enjoy this without all the bad things he would’ve gotten if he had watched the race.

« Daniel. » Max’s voice is filtered through the speaker, bubbly and wet like all the champagne-slash-Red Bull that was most likely poured on him the second he got out of the car, « Daniel, did you see? »

Daniel smiles. He didn’t. He saw his ceiling turn darker as time passed, saw the imaginary stars in the sky glitter like light pollution wasn’t a thing and the red on his screen from Max’s cheeks fill the room. « I did, Max. I saw. You were beautiful. »
