@verstappenhq To make it even worse: Helmut quote was about getting a pole in a HAAS, I never heard him say getting a win in a HAAS.
But the haters keep pushing their lie even half becomes believable…
English
Example of how Max haters are trying to gaslit what happened…
Even here they managed to gaslight Helmut quote from getting a pole to getting a win in a HAAS.
And they ignore that the HAAS in that year even got a pole… making it very plausible.
sof.@clovrleafmotors
I remember very clearly having Max fans going around saying he could win in any car, not just one that was 0.5s off the pace. Are we being gaslit?
English
@formulaleonog7 The upgrades seem to be working against Max...
And Hadjar is good, his Australia lap was amazing now that it becomes more clear McLaren and Ferrari are superior.
But if the car is starting to work, it isn't a conspiracy if the setup problems are fixed and Max closes the gap.
English
Don't be surprised if this season turns out to be a Sergio Perez 2022/23 season. Starting really close to Max but then upgrades screw him and he starts to be 5 tenths off him

ISACK HADJAR OUTQUALIFIES MAX VERTAPPEN
English
@AllaiteS @autosport @fia @redbullracing He bumped rummer with zero risk or damage for both cars...
Question wasn't relevant because we have over a dozen examples of the question being asked and answered in the almost 6 months prior...
And he did admit he was wrong and that he regretted it...
English
@autosport @fia @redbullracing He is manipulating the truth. He never apologised or addressed the issue. FIA gave 10sec for crashing on purpose on another driver? Schumi was banned 4 that! Question was relevant. Reporter expected Max to react like he does always when he cannot blame others
English
Max Verstappen explains why he dismissed a British journalist from his media session in Japan:
“I got that question quite often last year, and I think I answered it more than twenty times. So when someone asks that question during the press conference after the last race and also laughs in your face, to me that has to do with a complete lack of respect. If you don't give me respect, why would I give you respect?
You only see the camera pointed at me and not at that person, who just started laughing. And you could clearly see that there was malicious intent behind it at that moment. That is enough for me. I have been in Formula 1 long enough to know who has good intentions and who has bad intentions. If you go and laugh at me right there, you clearly don’t have good intentions.”

English
@nigelreynolds @autosport So which way is better?
Walking away from ALL reporters?
Ending the interview?
Secluding yourself from all media for 8 weeks long.
Lewis has endured a lot of abuse from media especially in his early days and when he wasn't winning. But never did they go on this long.
English
@autosport He still handled the matter poorly and need to grow up and get trained in how to answer difficult or unacceptable questions. He should watch Sir Lewis Hamilton who is a master of this art.
English
@APEXIntC @nws13 @BananaFunda It seems basically the only source for Nate is.. the reporter itself.
That is like using the bible to prove God exists... and as only reference using the bible...
By that logic Harry Potter is real....
English
Holy fuck dude let it go.
Nobody laughed in your face. The fact you remember a nervous smile as someone humiliating you says WAY more about how your brain works than his.

@nws13 He didn't feel humiliated, he felt disrespected. The question was asked over and over, and up until then he kept answering them.
Notice how nobody in the room in Japan or AD actually came forward backing up the reporter, the only source is.. the reporter himself saying so.
English
@nws13 @BananaFunda You flip the time line to fit your narrative.
Grin was first, Verstappen lashing out was second.
He lashed out because he saw the grin after being asked the same question for like the 20th time.
Find me another example of a driver being harassed so much, for so long.
English
@BananaFunda Multiple people in the room who confirm it was a nervous smile at being singled out, not laughing.
I believe journalists over a guy who complained about being unfairly treated while the sport was in the process of trying to gift him a title 5 years ago.
English
@F1_driven Ehh no, Verstappen grabbed 2 poles and a technical error prevented a hattrick... despite the car being more to Perez liking Verstappen would have grabbed a hattrick of poles and wins if not for a technical issue.
Baku was literally the only time Perez was better on merrit.
English
Was it 2023 where this happened with Perez as well, until suddenly updates came and Perez was 1s a lap off Max?
I wonder if they'll still be doing that with Horner & Newey gone

🚨QUALY H2H IN 2026 Hadjar 2 - 1 Verstappen
English
@MissOoo1g That was long ago, probably like 10 years ago.
It didn’t mean living like a monk, that is such an extreme case.
English
@Zanquis When did he admit that? He said hes put off having a family in order to fully invest in the sport, he never said he lives like a monk.
English
Its a weird implication the time Max spends with his family is acceptable but the time Lewis spends with his loved ones is unfocused timewasting. Max wasnt called unfocused for having his family in Japan in 24'
Rashi@HAMazingLew
Why do the F1 has beens excuse Maccs behavior but are the first to speak on ANYTHING Lewis does? Have we not seen enough instances of this guy behaving disrespectfully with his own team or media / other drivers? Meanwhile DC saying all this on Lewis vs Maccs - so embarrassing
English
@RayyLH44 Could have been worse… you should have seen Latifi’s inbox after AD’21 crash…
English
@MissOoo1g DC is an outsider sure… but it is also basically echoing Lewis words and behavior but somehow that is seen as bad when it isn’t Lewis.
Lewis has many passions and talents, Max only has 2 that is racing and putting reporters in their place.
English
@Zanquis Its the double standard of an outsider like DC who doesnt know a thing about Lewis or his personal relationships determining one type of relationship means Max loves motorsport and the other, Lewis doesnt. Its a personal life, drivers are allowed to have those.
English
@MissOoo1g Lewis is entitled to a relationship, and him having a hobby outside the sport is great
But the hypocrisy is that you not arguing against me… but against Lewis himself
He himself admitted to struggling with focus when outside stuff distracted him
That is why his dogs helped him
English
@Zanquis I said loved ones, presumably that includes a gf. Are some drivers allowed relationships and others not?
And to be clear I dont have a problem with any driver having a life outside the sport. I could barely care if they did lines and partied with hookers. Go ahead & live
English
@_HenryMill Not seen a single F1 fan ask that question… only seen it been asked by people who are only fan of a certain driver but not actually fan of F1.
Cause if they a fan of the sport they wouldn’t have been the biggest disgrace of the sport for the last 5 years.
English
Apparently this question is trending among many F1 fans. 👀 #F1 #JapaneseGP

@SulloReport As a #F1 fan, I'm very interested to know what @Max33Verstappen feels about his deliberate maneuver into @GeorgeRussell63, especially in hindsight, atvthe end of the season, when it turns out that had he not done it, and suffered the penalty, he would have gained another WDC
English
@_HenryMill Where is the investigation? Ted didn’t do anything. He only did was slandering and nag about 1 incident while ignoring plenty of other incidents.
English
Max is wrong, when someone does investigative reporting, he and RB boycott them. Like Ted Kravitz when he reported correctly that “Michael Masi was fired for not interpreting the rules as they were written, which robbed Hamilton from his 8th WDC “HE GAVE IT TO MAX VERSTAPPEN.” 🤡

@matspiewak @8ty_6ixed @RBR_Daily Now you just demonstrated your IQ is only in the double digits…
Nobody needed him to troll again. I doubt what ever question he had to ask was worth listening too anyway.

Guardian Journalist, Giles Richards responds to Max ejecting him from the Press Conference
"I still admire Verstappen and I hope we can enjoy a better relationship in the future. Sometimes, difficult, awkward questions have to be asked. That’s the job that comes with the privilege."

@chickenuggets29 @norriistar The side who won’t be convinced is your side…
The question was asked, and actually answered in that he regretted it… but since it wasn’t Jesus who said it…. You not convinced Max said it apparently….
English
@Zanquis @norriistar I don’t think you will be convinced even if Jesus Christ himself sold you the answer.
English
Norris really received questions like these (and worse) from media in last 2 years and still he answered them perfectly unlike some manchild who disrespected a reporter just because he doesn’t want to take accountability 💀
ray@ln4norris
YES LANDO!!! (a reporter said the reason the mexican crowd was booing him was because they want him to give back the 3 points to oscar from monza) lando: “sure. if they want to think that, they certainly have the right to. they can think whatever they want. i guess from us as a team, of course, we try and do things fairly. that was the comments we made back then. the same with two years ago in budapest when i could have won the race and had to let oscar back through and let him win the race he deserved to win. it was no different to that really. it was an incorrect decision that we made as a team to box him first or me first here. to be honest, if you want to have the three points, they can. they have the right to think whatever they want. like oscar deserved to win last year in budapest, i deserve to be ahead in monza. simple as that”
English
@_HenryMill @Max33Verstappen @GeorgeRussell63 @F1WDC2021 You mean as an idiot you interested… Anyone who wasn’t a troll would have known BEFORE the reporter asked the question because it was already answered before.
Also you demonstrated the reporter is useless as you didn’t listen anyway when Max answered him.
English

English
@MissOoo1g And I think it is non-sense.
Not every driver is the same. Lewis historically had broken his relationships during race seasons because he felt they distracted him.
But Lewis is also must more multi talented/interested than Max. And that isn’t to put more value in either way.
English
@MissOoo1g So you trying to spin a false narrative
Lewis not getting any calls for unfocused time wasting from spending time with his family (like you suggested in picture)
He gets praise for being a great son
But he gets a bit of complaints for when he hangs around celebrity of the moment
English
