max’s interview with the bbc, talking how he’s falling out of love with the sport.. it’s way worse with the audio 🥹

All these “I hope Max retires” takes are weak. Max could literally never win a race again, and he’d still be my absolute favourite, nothing would change. All the people who question his legacy today, are the people who would deny it anyway, it’s cemented, shit engines and batteries don’t change that. As long as Max is racing, I’m watching.

A reminder Max Verstappen said NO to a $150 million per year Mercedes offer plus an ambassador role for 2026. Instead, Max stayed loyal to Red Bull. He accepted the risk of the new RBPT/Ford engine, fully aware Mercedes could build the best car/engine package. That’s the difference. Some drivers abandon their team for more money and to chase the fastest car. Max choose to stay loyal.

Also for those bitching about the regs. We saw passing and battle through T5-6-7-8 they had nothing to do with battery and everything to do with the new cars being able to follow and not lose DF. I’m not sure anyone moaned about having overheating tyres when following. Huge win!
