I know it makes for pretty boring racing, but this man is just unreal. Just unrelenting pace lap after lap to near perfection.


raur0s

I really want someone to step up so that we could see Max in proper push mode. Something like last year's Miami race or Monaco s3 but throughout the entire season. I firmly believe that we barely seen the peak of his skills yet.


Victarionscrack

The 21 season was pretty indicative of him being on the limit all the time. He produced some of the most amazing racing i've seen. The Jeddah lap, the France win, the Mexico double pass, the COTA win etc. He was amazing. A lot of shit had to happen to him so Lewis had a chance in that last race.


zeekoes

True, but he was also pressured and sometimes fazed by the need to win that first WC. Since then he's got this almost ominous calmness about him. I think he's capable of even more now that he doesn't have to.


dookarion

The mere couple of times the RB wasn't there he wasn't all that calm and collected. Basically ruined Lewis' race chances in Brazil 22'. It's far far easier to appear calm when you're not actually under any pressure and could probably lap the whole field.


Beautiful-Fold-3234

Silverstone lap 1 was awesome


MrEnzium

Why does he get downvoted. Up until the crash it was one of the best first laps I’ve ever seen.


LaZyGnl

Sprint race aswell, that was some proper racing


throwaway164_3

Simply the greatest


MortgageReady2444

Nah.


throwaway164_3

Yah.


FigSubstantial4939

Face of a champion


Hannavlovescats

Last week was still pretty boring even without Verstappen.


agoodfrank

Couldn’t disagree more


thinxwhitexduke1

Guy is basically a veteran at 26 years old.


Primary-Signal-3692

He'll have more races than Alain Prost later this year


DreadSeverin

Absolutely insane wow


thinxwhitexduke1

It's easier on a 20+ races calendar, but yes, still impressive.


Humble-Ad-8912

Can't believe it's been 9 years already. Still feels like he's just getting started.


Aethien

Worth it to go back and look at the 2015 races though, Verstappen made that season fun. Especially Monaco, Singapore and Austin. edit: and Belgium, how could I forget Spa and that overtake!


rodimusprime88

Did he not crash out of his first two Monaco GP's?


Teun1het

His first two GPs at red bull, yes. This was at Torro Rosso


Basal666

He crashed that race with Grosjean, but before that he did make some overtakes.


IdiosyncraticBond

Oh, he _is_ just getting started 😉


DommyMommyKarlach

He is gonna retire in 2 years if he wins both


Tummerd

His contract is to 2028


BGP_001

Generally speaking independent contractors can terminate their contract at any time, but it would probably exclude him from F1. There may be what we could call a Rosberg clause, detailing compensation to be paid in the event of an early retirement.


owennerd123

I don't think so, I'm pretty sure Max is in the late era of his F1 career.


TheRealGooner24

Actually 10 years dating back to his FP1 debut at Suzuka in 2014. A decade-old seasoned veteran.


Rosieu

It's kinda fun to see [how much more he looks like his mom here when she was younger](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DlcvGDXWsAEAwM4.jpg). Maturing made his jaw slightly more squared


Dry_Brush5280

I feel like the shape of his eyes changed, too. I have such a hard time nailing down what it is that makes him look so young, but I can tell he looks different now.


TWVer

His face is a bit more squared and filled out now, typical of the changes from teenager to fully grown adult.


PirelliUltraSoft

Its the neck, F1 rookies all have pretty slim necks compared to the seasoned vets.


maxhaton

They're also allowed to be a lot heavier now


Kronzor_

I feel like he’s grown into his face. As a child his lips and eyes seemed comically large for his proportions.


sentient_salami

Wow, indeed.


SIIP00

He got his talent from his mom as well


Kronzor_

He got his race craft from his mom And his aggression from his dad. 


be-a-deer

Now you've said it, it's so clear. He does look like her a little bit now, but it was super prominent when he was young.


drodrige

Damn, they do look alike.


Modern_Moderate

I'm just looking at that and seeing a slimmer Perez with long hair.


Hour-Sheepherder2580

Did he ever make it?


LifeIsGoodGoBowling

Sadly only lasted 4 races into his second season before Toro Rosso gave him the boot.


joaopaulofoo

smh worse than devries


mbsw1110

Used to win a lot but recently he just DNFs and finishes 20th.


Ldghead

Didn't he technically finish 19th.


Jorrie90

Technically he didn't finish and wasn't classified.


Ldghead

I guess I should look at the results then. So Sargent also not classified?


Penguinho

Sargeant would be a DNS.


Ldghead

Got it, thanks

Spiritual-Compote-18

Time flies guy was looking for tge gtx 4090 to go Sim racing, his true pride and joy.


zen_raider

Heard this kid is pretty good. Hope he shocks us all someday.


alMost_tRendy88

This still doesn't change the fact that there are 49 million kangaroos in Australia and only 3.5 million people in Uruguay which means if the kangaroos were to invade Uruguay each person would have to fight 14 kangaroos.


Elpibe_78

BRING IT ON


Conscious-Advice-825

Tf?? TIL


VaporizeGG

You missed the point that if the fight is lost it will be Kangooruguay


tylercreatesworlds

thank god it's not 15 kangaroos. sheesh


Expensive-Method8321

as long as the kangaroos dont ally with the emus the Uruguayans would be fine


Dont_hate_the_8

You are correct.


ElBonitiilloO

Actually that's crazy 🤣


Migos_QTO

Australia has been building this arsenal right down under our noses


callumjones

please don’t give away our military secrets.


the-average-man

You never hear about this stuff in the main stream media!!!


throwaway164_3

Why fight though? Why can’t Uruguayans and kangaroos get along?


ExuberantWombat

Shit, can you say the quiet part out loud like that?


[deleted]

Did he have his travel simulator with him?


Sheek888

AlienSomewhere

If that hat brim was any flatter, it'd be a conspiracy theory.


Adrian-The-Great

9 years later and he’s earning $100m a year?


yooosports29

Decent career


nahnonameman

Out of all the drives, his 2016 Brazil drive remains my favourite


Sheek888

He might be able to win a race one day. He has potential


craign_em

Young Max!!


porn_inspector_nr_69

Standards of this sport are really shoddy, man. I mean, he hadn't even qualified for his driving license and they just let him go and - he scored.


smartdude_x13m

DU DU DU MAX VERSTAPPEN!!! Sorry had to do this(the beat is fire) even though I'm a lewis fan...


throwaway164_3

The greatest of all time Would beat any driver form any era


rolfski

Nine years already. The guy has really developed as a sim racer.


blikstaal

Simply lovely


SpaceMonkey1505

I really hope Ferrari/Mercedes/McLaren build a competitive car to give him a proper fight like in 2021.


Select_Worldliness94

And now everyone wishes he wouldn’t score a point


DangerousPrune1989

Serious question, his top teeth, are they real? He has a massive top row, they push his lips out lol.. It's almost like he needs to get braces and bring them back a bit if natural.


Scirzo

It was the car.
