If they had said 'a certain driver' moaned, instead of directly adressing Max, it would have brought no discussion.
instead, fully knowing there's been a sensitivity between RB and Renault, and Max also fueled that fire and became part of it with some outings,
versus Cyril. It's not a one-time outing, it's been going on for months, and it has been embarassing every time. Don't get me wrong, Marko and Horner
have been part aswell. But to then post something like this, is really distasteful.
If Max wasn't made in name, it would have been tongue-in-cheek. Literally naming somebody is the opposite of tongue-in-cheek.
for example, that's what they exactly did with Hamilton in the end 'five-time world champion'.
they did not do that in regards to 'a certain driver' which everybody would have understood.
hence why i certainly don't see it as innocent banter or tongue-in-cheek for this specific part in this post.
Nah.... Renault can do nothing wrong for me. Thanks to them I got an early start in driving.
When it broke down my parents usually had me steer it while they pushed the thing to safety.
By the age of 10 I was pretty proficient in steering, parking, operating the handbrake, alarm light, wipers etc. Mind you, not easy when you have 3 lanes of annoyed traffic waiting behind. Getting my actual licence was a piece of cake after that. It is a lot easier when nobody is honking or shouting profanities at you.
Fond memories of Renault, a red estate with yellow door (somehow the other one fell off) and a big bumb in the hood from the airfilter exploding. Thing was way ahead of its time too, you know. At that time nobody was thinking about sustainability and biodegradibility, and this car was already half gone before you could even bring it to the scrapheap.
Verstappen just doesn't want to appreciate it.
