F1 World Champion Max Verstappen Exclusively Talks To DC On The Thames | C4F1 | F1 

Max is surely one of the most misunderstood guys on the grid. I'm a Leclerc fan but I can't help but like and respect Max. His mentality is spot on and he has a maturity beyond his years.

He's being himself. And says what he thinks. If people don't like him, that's fine. Refreshing.

This is the kind of Max British media doesn't want you to see 😅

as an italian and a ferrari fan i can't really praise max enough, he's very mature and super objective. he got the best mindset on the grid hands down. that's why he's champion.

Max : Drivers quickly forget about contact Meanwhile Lewis still talking smack about it after the 2022 Silverstone GP.

David is such an underrated interviewer. Every single one of these that he has done is brilliant.

Max has to be the most honest and upright person in F1

Max is probably the most genuine person in F1. He always says what he is thinking bad or good. He doesn't try to become more likeable, he is being himself and DOESN'T GIVE A F*CK!!! Channel 4 is so much better than SkySports

Maxes mental stability is his biggest strength.

I can't help but love this guy. He probably has the worst reputation on the grid, but I actually think he's one of the most likeable ones. He's just always so genuine and honest. It never feels like he's just putting on some PR speech or saying certain things to get clout. Very mature, level headed guy. And much more funny than people give him credit for.

I’ll never understand why people dislike Max. He’s a genuine guy. He loves the sport. Is dedicated to the sport. And he pursues his dreams and goals passionately. Nothing wrong with that. I also feel like he would sit down and chat with you about life all day if you caught him at the right time. He’s a good guy.

Thank you Channel 4 for showing Sky Sports how it's done. Chapeau!

Max is probably the purest person in F1. He might be aggressive on track but has the kindest most childest heart

This is why Channel 4 is so much better than Sky. Nice to see Max presented as a normal human being instead of the villain by Kravitz etc

I like his straightforwardness and honesty.. Just there to race hard and no other BS.. No hypocrisy, fake political correctness and backstabbing like you see a lot in F1 unfortunately..

This interview was just "simply lovely"

I’m glad I can appreciate Max while being a Lewis fan, the sport is in a good place, this man is gonna give us many years of excitement in years to come

Max is really a great guy. It’s sad to see that most of the British media paint him as the villain.

I wish Channel 4 was the choice for worldwide broadcast F1 instead of those sad bunch of gaslighters from Sky. Great interview again with Max, thank you DC!

Why do some people hate him so much? He seems like a really nice guy to me.

Max is just so based it's hard not to root for him. He's not championing some cause, unless that cause is motor racing. He's exactly who you'd want as a teammate and a genuinely nice guy with a sense of humor. I'm old enough to be his dad and growing up in a sports car family, have been following F1 for many many decades. Like Hamilton, Schumacher, Prost, Senna and Stewart, he's a special talent and a once in a generation driver. A deserving WDC and DC did a wonderful interview here.

I like Coulthard and Max chemistry…cool atmosphere…very nice 👌

not gonna lie he does make a good point with the POV thingy. If only Twitter bigots could listen. Coming from a Lewis fan, this interview just made me respect him more

I am really proud of Nico Rosberg Retiring after he beat Ham, He achieved his goal and that was enough! proud of you Nico!

Max made f1 fun again, Without a doubt the best driver on the grid and the only driver to push the extremes and beat Merc, Deserved or not what a season 2021 was and 2022 is. Thank you Max.

Lets face it: before Max come into F1 it was a boring Mercedes show and we wanted more excitement. Max gave us exactly that.

David and max interviews are always good. They are mates and DC has become a good TV interviewer.

After this latest Silverstone Lewis said that he and Leclerc could safely go alongside in the turn, meaning/claiming that it was MAX' fault last year that they crashed.. And yet in this interview Max says he forgets and forgives quickly.. And HE was the one that crashed at 50 g's.. HE was the one that went to the hospital, and had a DNF which changed the season. And HE let it go.. And Lewis.. well he got a 10 second time penalty pointing him out to be the one that caused the collision.. (he hit the apex with leclerc but missed it completely with Max) Guess what.. Lewis still won that race. And yet.. Lewis just can't seem to let it go. Embarrasing. Max has the right idea, and can be proud how opposite he is on this to Lewis.

This max is genius and sounds fair. Its time for the media to show this side.

Max is really a good person, most of the people dont know him, unless if they have seen this interview, too. Watch his docuus, his past...for sure he is not arrogant. Some time he was in Amsterdam walking and shopping (mistake) so it went overcrowded, but still he gave all the people his time, no bad words, no escaping....and another fine story is that every year he gets on a holiday he takes his best friends with him.....and they never pay a share for the holiday. There are not much people who do this for friends, right? MAX IS A SUPER MAX.

I love Max just the way he is he's an aggressive driver and that's what you need to win a race MAX IS A MAN & THIS IS HIS JOB leave your emotions in your feelings at the door 🍻

max got beaten up by propaganda because he is straight to the point. he is the only one not whining and gets shit for it its upside down world. he beat the best driver with a worse car so that makes him the best no buts. and if some one says that its stolen id politely ask them to re watch silver stone and ask yourself who stole what

The more you see of Max the more you can understand what a good champion he is, and a great sportsman!

Really good job by David Coulthard! I enjoyed the self deprecation about his own achievements... to me it displayed humility but not a lack of confidence. David had a very fine career. Max I rate more and more as well. His calm and humble demeanor, and positive, realistic mindset makes him a great role model. Fantastic interview all round.

Max is simply the best ambassador for F1 since Nigel Mansell, such a down to earth straight forward person, no precious nonsense. He does all his talking on the track. 👏👏👏

max has learned a lot and has become an adult and the more I listen to him the more I also learn and I am 53yrs, he is doing great that max, respect for you

Cant believe there are people hate max. Honest interview

And just before he gets of the boat, he thanks the man sailing the boat. Great personality.

Max is amazing !! All the Haters are just missing to enjoy how good he is

The guy is very mature for his age and very down to earth. He is direct, what is very Dutch. Some consider that as being rude, but that has nothing to do with that. It is just honesty.

I am huge Lewis fan, but I will always have a soft spot for Max. I think Formula 1 wouldnt be the same without him. The 2021 title was such an exciting year to watch as spectators and both drivers deserved it. Of course I wanted Lewis to win and was pretty bummed out and upset when he lost but hey it happens. All I hope for is Lewis and Max to have some on track battles this year!

This right there is the reason why I am a huge Max fan. Let me put some context. We all know that most of us will never become an F1 driver, let alone be on the level as Max. We know that all celebrities try their hardest to seem relatable (which fails most of the time), however, listening to Max, how he carries himself, how he treats other drivers, how he responds to praise and criticism comes from a place where his family really wants the best for him. I am not saying that Lewis didn't have that, what I am saying is what you do with what you have and how you utilize what you have to best is what matters. There is this saying that my dad told me, "Treat winning and losing the same" What it means is don't give winning or losing more power than it should. Just as Max said, he stays in the middle. #MaxMaxMaxSuperMaxMaxMax

This conversation is pure gold. A truly deserving champion. He is matured and honest. Thank you channel 4 for bringing this.

Verstappen is so refreshing in his personality. Straight to the point, others can learn from that. Also, without him, the hybrid era would have been so boring, he is the only one that stood up against mighty Mercedes and beat them in the end. Refreshing. Keep it up Max.

Im a Hamilton fan for years but i stil have huge respect for Max atchivment he is no doubt a great racing driver.

He is a true world champion because he is so mature and level headed. Very impressive.

I cried when Ayrton died and he is my hero. But following F1 since then Max is the only one who could reach the level Senna did and I wish him all the best 👍🤞

Nothing like a very quick normal F1 driver with no agenda. The way I like my drivers. Like Michael. Bravo Max.

Really changed my opinion about Max after watching this interview, great driver, great champion, respect. David's interviewing skills are also impressive.

The name of the boat goes well with Max’ character: nicely chilled. He’s very straightforward and doesn’t play mind games or make back stabbing remarks like some other drivers do. More aggressive than some people like, but definitely a very talented driver who brings excitement on the track. Keep it going Max!

I love the combo of DC and Max. DC knows the ins and outs and how max is and it leads to such a relaxed interview

This was my favourite interview with Max verstappen when became world champion 🏆 🥇 in 2021 season and can remember them talking about other f1 drivers like Lewis Hamilton seven times world champion and Charles Leclerc the f1 drivers from Monaco 🇲🇨 and geart Max verstappen has been doing so in world championships in the 2022 f1 season.

What a fantastic interview this makes sky sports look even worse than what they actually are, I wish there was a channel 4 type team on sky Max Verstappen is a sensational racer and also very likeable and honest. The last lap or 2021 is one of my greatest ever memories of Formula 1 and also my life because I was celebrating with my family on that amazing night so that makes that moment even greater for me, Max is well on his way already to becoming a legend of the sport and he will win way more races and titles in the future but for now we can enjoy the Max of the moment fast, entertaining, thrilling to watch and very every exciting Best of luck for the rest of the season champ go and get world title number 2

Unpopular opinion as British fan but Max and K.Mag my two fav drivers in recent years, was very happy to see K Mag return. Ran round my garden celebrating his championship win in similar fashion to the way I celebrated the Trippier FK at the last World Cup 😂

I love Coulthard man. Even though hes connected to Red Bull he manages to do a unbiased interview.

I only started to get into F1 and I have no favorites at all, but Max is a real down to earth dude. He's straight forward, speaks his mind clearly and concisely, he's just there to do what he's been doing since the age of 4 and that's to race. Considering the drama behind the scenes that I've been reading about and seeing, he's got it right. Amazing.

Max is way more mature than I thought. Wow.

Great driver, champ and a funny honest guy.

I am very glad Max won the championship! It finally brought the end to the Mercedes dominance! It was a real pain to watch races knowing who would win and what team as well, with Max we got some great thrills and made 2021 so good!

Max, what you see is what you get ……brutally honest, no nonsense, not beating around the bush, not a pleaser, straightforward and chill

As a lifelong Hamilton fan, I don't understand the fans who hate on Max. He won personality of the year for 3 years in a row for a reason & his talent has been evident since his debut. He absolutely deserves his success

I absolutely love how straight talking he is.

Max has a pure soul, he deserves better:*

This is I want to see on Sky. But at Sky they only talk about Max as the bad guy and Lewis is the angel. 😎

Focussing on racing an not becoming arrogant.. Somebody could take a tip from that Edit: maybe also learn how to hit an apex or two!

Well, Channel 4 is quite new to me, but it's refreshing to hear an English channel to be unbiased, freely interviewing a non-Brittish WCD in this way. Thank you David Coulthard and C4. I think there are other presentators who can learn from this, though it might be a Demonic, too steep of a Hill...

Max is a great example for the dutch youth. He is a world citizen , open minded and sees the world from many different perspectives. Formula 1 world has really made him to a great human being. Max as a dutch citizen with a foreign background " I am really proud of you"! You set a great example for the rest of dutch the society. Keep it up brother!

What a fantastic guy. Good luck for the 2022 championship Max.

Zo mooi om te zien hoe intelligent Max is. Hij is capabel om zich te focussen op zichzelf. Alle omgevingsinvloeden lijken hem niet teveel te beïnvloeden en hoe mooi is het dan om je niet bezig te hoeven houden met alle bijzaken en emoties van anderen. Vergeet niet dat dit ook wel eens voor een bepaalde eenzaamheid kan zorgen bij hem. Maar hij is denk ik wel op een goeie plek en ik denk dat hij later ook een geweldige teamleider kan zijn… ik hoop het wel! Uniek persoon die rustig vooruit gaat in het circus van het leven… veel respect daarvoor! Gewoon normaal zijn… daar is hij een mooi voorbeeld van 👍🏼

I honestly can listen to this two forever. It’s one of the most perfect interviews I’ve ever seen. Seriously they hv outdone themself. It was just so nice to listen to them both, about their experiences and all.

What a simply lovely interview

David is an awesome interviewer! I like how his questions were more about Max as a person, and how he thinks and feels. Lovely interview!

max saved F1 from becomming a boring sport, a real champ and a nice example for al the youngsters that want to achieve something in live!

So glad DC is close to the Dutchies, he's always been loved here

How can people hate on this man?

I just can't believe how mature he is as a person! Blows my mind away.

I honestly don’t get why so many people dislike Max. He just seems so honest and friendly, don’t get where the rude and arrogant image comes from.

I love all the F1 drivers including Max.... and so should all of you

sitting down and taking life slower is the main thing of being dutch we call it gezellig

I was initially a Max fan because he contested Lewis, who I think is very fake, but as I saw more interviews and learned more about this young man he has earned my respect. He takes the worst that the British F1 press can shovel out and churns out podiums in return with a smile. #supermax

that was such an enjoyable and well put together interview

Very nice interview I like Max he is very hounest en down to earth!

Great interview with Max how down to earth and mature fantastic respect to him

I must be the only Lewis fan who also appreciates Max 😂

Excellent presentation,so warm and human, great interview.👍🇦🇺🇬🇧😎

Thank you, David, thank you, Max. Enjoyable, informative and quite relaxing! 😊

Max has always been a "future world champion" from the outset. It was always going to be when rather than if he was going to be champion. He became champion because he seized the opportunity rightly or wrongly presented to him in abu dhabi. An opportunity that was there because he had earned to be in that position from some fiece competative driving all season. Whether you agree or not over the outcome in AbuDhabi you cannot blame max for doing his job and taking the oppotunity which was presented to him as any champion driver would do so.

Max is a relaxed man. He is the same as 5 or 10 years ago!! And absolutely not arrogant! He stays humble. Doesn't think he is a better person only because of winning the WC!!! That's why he is a great person. And champion.

This guy is a class act and well on his way to becoming an all time great. Dont know why there are so many comments here about Lewis, he is irrelevant at this point, and always was just a half decent driver who had the fantastic luck to be driving some of the most dominant cars in history for his entire career.

What a nice guy he is! Let’s try a session like this with Lewis and Max chatting about their way up to F1

What a lovely guy,ever prouder of my countryman.great interview,nice touch to take Max out in a Dutch boat!

Really nice interview, thanks very much David and Channel 4

This should have waaaaay more views. If it were Lewis it would be in everyones recommended

I loved DC's interview! What a joy to hear intelligent questions posed to Max, who as always, answers them honestly. Very refreshing. Max is brutally honest and lightning quick! Love that about him!

Merc: huge party for HAM winning despite penalty for crashing out Max. Max from the hospital: "thanks for the motivation to overcome that points loss and grid penalties."

Max is the realest driver on the grid ... That's why he's a champion, i wish him and RedBull alot of championships! Great guy!

That was a really nice video. Nice to see a relaxed Max being himself

This is a very enjoyable interview with David Coulthard portraying to me the polite, friendly and still mildly 😃confrontational character of true Brits. Though I am a Max fan I love David even more. He has been interviewing on Dutch TV more often and is just a pleasure to watch. Chapeau David!

very interesting conversation. I love how max is such a sweet person but also so genuine

Its interesting, I used to think Max was arrogant but over the past few years I see a much different side and this interview pretty much seals it. David did a great job on this interview and the setting of a gentle boat on the Thames was perfect. Cheers
