#the australian gp was crazy

[ineedassistance28]

maybe it’s just because i’m a fan of max, but sometimes it annoys me how f1 fans get so happy when he doesn’t finish a race. i understand that it’s boring to see the same person win all the time, and personally there are drivers that i would absolutely love to see win a grand prix (lando, charles, lewis, etc.), but it just rubs me the wrong way to see fans make tiktoks about how the australian gp was beautiful just because max didn’t finish it, and that they hope stuff like this happens for the rest of the season, etc., joke or not.

i just don’t get why people hate max’s success so much when we’re literally witnessing history being made (especially last year’s season). max verstappen’s prime years are some of the most impressive in all of f1, and i feel like more people need to recognize that. it’s amazing that a driver can perform on such a high level and get the best possible performance out of a car so consistently.

i don’t want it to seem like i’m irritated because max didn’t win or something. i think it’s boring when max is out in front with a 20 second gap; i want to see him have proper fights with other drivers that push both of them to the limit. i want to watch someone beat max after battling with him the whole gp, rather than a driver beating/catching up to max because of mechanical issues. it made me so happy to see carlos win a race, knowing that ferrari dropped him for lewis and left him without a seat. it was amazing to see carlos prove that ferrari made a mistake and he’s worthy of a seat in the future, whether that’s next year or 2026. that being said, i would’ve enjoyed it a lot more if max had been able to challenge him.

max as a driver is ridiculously impressive, he has a great personality, and he deserves more support. fans shouldn’t be celebrating because he was knocked out of a race by mechanical issues.

idk if this gp betting on charles thing is true or just speculation/joke, but if it is true, this is a gp strategy masterclass!! he knows max is insane about charles & if he sees a competition with charles he will singlemindedly try to win (cough austin when he undeniably had the fastest car by far but still had zero patience to get past lol) so this is his way of making sure max is motivated to get pole despite the fact that he could probably win without it. gp on the board of lestappies?

anon this has added a layer to the nuanced gp-helmut quali bets that is frankly hysterical. like yeah it is a strategic mastermind move??? activate the track terrorist impulse in max with a well placed bet on charles??? diabolical. groundbreaking

Speaking of "I can't believe that actually happened" moments from this year, remember when they had to shut everything down during the Australian GP weekend because they lost all the cars?

russell has no brakes, max has a new engine with insane understeer, alonso was p1 at some point, Carlos without an appendix and Ferrari is battling for P1 AND P2?!???!

[slythereen]

advancing the conspiracy theories to the next stage: whoever is sabotaging charles is conveniently sabotaging max on the same weekends

[yrsonpurpose]

fia rulebook says charles can restart the race on lap 58
