I think it's very telling how warm the greeting is between Max and Carlos at 2:25. They get along well from what I hear. Many of the younger drivers get along well off track
Man... He has come a loooong way. He was already super talented before entering F1. But now he is just super complete and mature as well... Happy for Max. He deserves this.
It’s sometimes unbelievable to realise that he is only 26 years old and belongs to this generation of drivers and not to Hamilton and Alonso’s. Sheer class in how he conducts himself during these interviews and he really is true when he says “What I’m like right now, I’m like this at home”. It really is about being yourself. Go Max, more and more power to you. What a great Champ
There was something about the Max that made it clear right from the very beginning that he would be the next big thing in f1. Because, and everybody knows that well, it is not only about hard work or the car or talent, it is about attitude and the will to win at all cost. The craving of success must be larger than fear and in Max we see just that. He made it to f1 when he was still just a child and was held to same judgements and standards to drivers atleast a decade older than him, perhaps even harsher. Today he won championship for the 3rd time in perhaps the most dominant season ever in f1 and if there's anybody who deserves it, it's him and I'm so proud of him and so glad that I'm able to witness The Max Verstappen era. Congrats Max. And thank you Red Bull.
Listening to Max,it's hard to believe that he is only 26 years old!!! From day 1, his relaxed attitude towards all the F1pressures inspires total respect from everyone ......... even his competitors.
This season Max seems quite relaxed, but he is such a perfectionist, he hates mistakes. From Anyone. And when mistakes are made, you can hear Max becoming vocal and annoyed, verbally aggressive even. But that is simply because he has such a high expectation of himself too.
People forget sometimes he learned his Formula ropes in F1 coming to the ranks at light speed. Now he has matured and what an exceptional racer he has become.
His mentality and mindset on staying in F1, winning championships, targets & stats are soooo healthy! Love that for him. Huuuuuggeee congratulations, Max!
My favourite driver. No British media or Drive to Survive narrative against Max will make me hate him. I do my research on all of the drivers, and Max is the one I'm truly impressed by the most and the media will always water him down in the public eye, but just watching him from day one to now, I'm in awe. And I wish newer fans would also do their research on Max before talking bad about him, because he's genuinely a good and loving guy.
Honestly, one doesn't even need to do that much research to realise that he's a nice guy. All you need to do is watch his chats with his colleagues to see how amicable he is. People who "hate" Max will do so regardless of what the media says. I've seen plenty of positive media coverage about Max where haters still react negatively. Some people are just inherently sad and angry human beings and social media shows that more than anything.
@@Rrr000yyY I think it's mostly manipulation from the media and also from one team pushing an agenda against Max. I read about this in a book where if the enemy is threatened by you they will twist the narrative against you to try to drag you and your reputation down. So I do think that all these bad image of Max is a result of others being sour about his potential, what he is capable of and what he can achieve. He is a threat. And a lot of new fans of the sport are sheeps and just follow what the media and haters say instead of doing their own research.
Max is a very rare gem Max, for me, you are the best of all time. You are the only world champion. You are brave, smart, and strong. You are not easily described I hope you achieve the fourth championship You are the best of all time, Red Bull, always and forever the kings ❤🎉🎉❤
What a lovely interview and lovely guy. Such an incredibly mature mindset at 26 years of age. Yes, he has his flaws like we all do, but overall a really mature, down to earth and humble guy. I appreciate that he's alway trying to keep it as real as he can in these interviews.
Max is a generational talent we all knew this. But for Max it's not only his talent, but it's also about his commercial value and the ability to bring dozens of 'orange army' to every single venues around the world. This is what makes him the face of F1, natural talent with the ability to bring commercial revenues for the sport. Only Lewis could do this before and now it's Max. He is the heir to the throne.
The culmination of a truly dominant all-time great season. He was so far ahead of everyone else that they basically gave up months ago for the championship.
Lewis is my second biggest idol after Pelé, and even though 2021 didn't deserve the way things ended, I have huge respect for Max, whoever doesn't like him or Lewis, isn't a racing fan, just following "agendas"
None of them are my idols. For me someone in sports needs to be more than just that one with a lot of talent, my idols are judged by what they do/did after they ended their career.
@6:10 lewis complimenting max instead of the car hes driving?????? WHERE? WHEN??? footage please! i call cap unless he complimented him for 5 seconds and then talks about the team, the car and the designer for 20 seconds!
@@frnkbntz5798 i understand, but theres a difference between complimenting someone and complimenting someone but then taking 4x the amount of time to ralk about how good his car and his team is.
I love Max interviews, but the interviews of DC with Max and Jos are something else. So down to earth, i wish Max would have been in F1 in the early 2000s for the V10 era.
Max does not only impress me with his absurt dominance, but hear him speak as a young guy, he is super intelligent. Max, your great! I am also Dutch by the way... Rotterdam, far from Limburg, very nice part of The Netherlands, I often went there a week on my bicycle. I am 69 years old, but I love to be on my bicycle. I follow F1 from when I was a kid, but you are the best!
06.00, that’s where you can notice how much he is focused on details, or perfection… watch his hands and fingers. Even The way he expressed a detail, is very controlled.
Feels like yesterday it was 2020 and everyone was saying Max was inmature, crashing to much, needed to change his approach. But he always stayed his own course and look where its brought him. Crashstappen no more!
> "He was sometimes a little to greedy in the past" No, he wasn't, when you don't have the fastest car you just have to push your limits to achieve something, and that increases risks, he even explained it in the video. You see the same happening to Hamilton today, he had to push it today and it didn't work out well.
How come if they are so fast, have they not set a track record to any of the tracks they've raced if or could it be that they are only fast because other cars are slower?
The cars or specifically the regulations since 2022 has made the F1 cars slower but with more racing capabilities in mind which does seem to be working since a lot of cars are fighting except for Max at the front. The cars now are heavier, more efficient engines, safer, lesser overbody aero or downforce which gives more top speeds but slightly lesser cornering - this was also to get rid of dirty air which compromises the downforce of cars chasing someone at the corners.
@@ipo7596 well, the regulations have favored the design thesis of Adrian Newey and the cars aren't exactly doing what rhe regulations have said they want them to do, they isn't the overtaking that was promised, even ROSS Brawn accepted this fact.
His favorite was the first one because it was handed to him. The FIA moved Heaven and earth for little Maxie. Now he has the fastest car. Good for him. Lol. He should use some of the that money and fix his teeth and overbite. Lol.
@@ajworks5958 Wing-gate; running Hamilton off the track with no penalty, Abu Dhabi: it all adds up to the fact that Masi wanted a Verstappen win and helped him get it. Not taking away from Max, he is an awesome driver and deserved to be racing for the title in 2021 - it's just that he did not win it fairly.
I would love to see these max fans say the same if the shoe was on the other foot in abu dhabi 21. I respect max as a driver his definitely up there no debate. Not as a person. Issue is with lewis everything acts like he's just an average driver. Its insane to think that but it is what it is. Not like ill change the mind of the die hard max fans.
Even is "this guy" did not won 21, he would have 22 and 23... Max worries about things he can control, not about things he can not control. 21 was not "this guy" fault... Lewis deserved the race win, but IMO Max deserved the tittle. I was a massive Lewis fan from day 1, but his and Toto's actions in and out the car changed that a bit.. Calling "This guy" is disrespectful & for a guy who promotes equality, IMO That is very hypocritical. It took Lewis a lot of time to acknowledge Max . To me that showed fear, and that got in to his head.. So much so, he went nutz in Silverstone 21.. And that penalty did not fit the "crime". (IMO) To me Max showed to be the bigger man even despite his young age. If 21 went the other way, he would kept his chin high and move on.. Peace
M8 no one thinks that lewis is an average driver, I'm a max fan and I don't rly like Lewis as a person (just a personal opinion) but I can't deny that he is an amazing driver, their fight in 2021 just showed how far ahead of everyone else they both are
@erikvermolen8371 Yes, and as you can see, he is trying to fight to get the race result cancelled. I can deal with what happened, but I dnt expect ppl to forget 1 of the biggest controversies in f1. I would have respected Max a lot more if he congratulated Lewis knowing what had happened that race. I've seen plenty of poor sportsmanship from max in the last few yrs. Not saying Lewis hasn't had those moments himself but you would be blind to think max carries himself better than Lewis.
@mlghippo1092 literally 99%of max fans said its the car when Lewis was winning but now the tables have turned max is just a goat of a driver. Its obsurd. Put Max/Lewis/alonso/lando possibly russell in the same car and it will be entertaining season. I would of said leclerc but he hasn't impressed this season
No Lewis the cry baby lost it. Lewis hasn't won since that last race in 2021 and Lewis will never win another race. I predicted this at the end of the 2021 season. Lewis is to mentally weak. Max put his fire out for good.
To be robbed of something you first have to have it. Can't rob Hamilton of the 2021 title since he never had it. To finish first you first have to finish.
