Has Kowalski analysed Estemax/Maxeban yet 👀

Eating up all these rare pair asks ~~ thank you everyone, truly

SO, Esteban and Max - a lot to unpack

Unsurprisingly, the first thing most people think about with this pair is the infamous fight they had after Brazil 2018 (excellent timing - 6 year anniversary guys 🥰)

This was prime Mad Max era. A ruined race from a back marker - no surprise he got heated. But there’s definitely a heightened tension between them.

If you watch the entire video, there’s a big difference in how they are handling the situation. Max seems more agressive with the shoving while Esteban is yapping, trying to explain himself. There are some reports that Esteban actually provoked Max, who wasn’t intending on pushing him, by saying he was faster than him. Cheeky boy 🤭 no surprise Max didn’t like that.

Max got 2 days of public service for this incident as well…

But their disagreements didn’t start here!

Max was taken from F3 to be accelerated to F1, despite Esteban winning the championship over him

He was very vocal about finding it unfair that Max was getting a chance in F1 even though he’d beaten him. This also relates to Esteban’s struggles with funding, Max easily finding support compared to him running out of money and begging Mercedes to get him in GP3

So with all this exposition, you’d expect them to be at odds right? Enemies?

Strangely enough, in the last few years, they’ve been on pretty good terms!

Now they’re both cemented in their roles, they don’t have animosity against each other. Sure they’ll have little tifs in the media, but all drivers do. Max honestly doesn’t care or think about Esteban that often but they have a few interactions that show they don’t have remaining grudges.

I personally think they are very sweet together - extremely bias as they are my faves.

But look at Estie’s little smile in these pictures 🤭

Max grasping his waist - that man loves grabbing men’s waists…kiss boy 🫵

Overall I think their relationship is quite casual and calm despite their past, which is great to see!

I should really start keeping track of these rare pairs I’m analyzing - maybe through a “makes sense/doesnt make sense” and “compels me / doesn’t compel me” scale?

ANYWHO! More ppl feel free to send asks 🥰🥰
