Verstappen has outperformed his teammate in every race this season. The spirit is like Senna and Schumacher was having when racing hard.
Perez outperformed him in baku but then crashed. But he had.quite a bit more pace than Max that weekend.
Yes, unfortunately Checo went full-perez on Sainz's rear. Max himself said he went in the wrong direction with setups before qualifying, and it seems Pérez did something right that weekend before the crash.

But if we look at the whole picture, when Max is struggling, he has almost always brought better results than his teammate who is struggling even more.

This is very popcorn worthy "tea", I must say!

Out of everything George wants us to be upset about, it's the fact that Max apparently was going to just let George by and "not even race" him that actually irks me the most.

Dafuq is that about?

No, George is upset Max said that he was purposely going to crash into him and "put him on his head in the wall" in Qatar

What do you mean by "no"? Did you read all the pages?

I'm just saying I'm more annoyed about Max saying he was going to not race against George in the race for whatever unexplained reason than I am his threats to George.

That's just weird imo.

That sort of violent rhetoric is worthy of a race ban for Verstappen. But ofc with D**** W***** as steward it will never happen.

We have seen Vettel's, Räikkönen's, and Hamilton's weaknesses in adaptability. Max's are yet to be seen.
Are you new to F1? Lol.
Max has shown adaptability issues before. Aren't you watching the races?

Anyway Max is not a part of this conversation.

Is there any footage of this slamming his head? Was this an interview or a discussion when they were sitting in the bathtub together?

Well the definitions of last and this week are confusing:
Verstappen has defined last week, that you can be an a$$hole on track, but not in the stewards room.
Russel has defined this week, that you can be an a$$hole on track and in the stewards room. Well...not completely as in the same interview he states, that Verstappen is an a$$hole on track and this is not ok.

So I am a bit confused about what is ok and what not. But at least it is entertaining.

Seeing the start last week and how Verstappen got under his skin, the only warm thing was in his panties.
At least he is really good in modern communication. He can 100% ignore what he said in Baku last year and say the opposite not when it fits. At least this seems like teflon, I hope he gets the same to the track.

He's literally saying what Max said was plain wrong.
How on earth is that being construed otherwise? Cmon man :lol:

And Max going public was what exactly? :lol:

Such a petty incident and Max goes public, says everything about who was unnerved first.
Now George drops bombs. Can't say this wasn't coming after Max public outburst.

Is it a weakness that you don't adapt your slow and understeery car as you wanted, but still adapt better than your teammate? That's the thing, when Vettel, Räikkönen, and Hamilton have adaptability issues, their teammates are miles ahead.

I am not sure if Max was just the .... he is and wanted to derail George as much as he can. In the race Max was flawless, George messed up the start. So I do not see that Max was "unnerved". I rather think he was angry and had a clear agenda.

This comment I do not understand at all. Max was unhappy that George was "fighting" in the stewards room. I do not read that anything was wrong, they just disagree on what is ok...do you see this differently?
