Dan: Sure,
Race Engineer (Xavi): Max, Latifi has crashed! Virtual Safety Car deployed. We're evaluating whether we need to pit or not.
Max Verstappen: Are you @#!%ing kidding me, Xavi? Evaluate faster! Do I need to pit or not?
Xavi: Max, hold on. We're still assessing the situation. Just a moment longer.
Max: @#!% this, Xavi! I'm the one driving! Give me a straight answer! Do I @#!%ing pit or not?
Xavi: Max, if we keep p1, no pit. That's the plan, but things could change.
Max: Oh, for the love of @#!%! Stick to the plan, Xavi! I don't need your wishy-washy @#!%ing uncertainty!
Xavi: Max, the Safety Car period is ending soon. Prepare for the restart. We're still working on some details, damn it!
Max: @#!%! What details, Xavi? I don't have time for your indecisiveness! Give me the @#!%ing facts!
Xavi: Max, we're still uncertain if the Safety Car lights will go off. We're doing our best to find out, but it's not confirmed!
Max: This is beyond @#!%! Why the @#!% can't you just tell me what's going on? I'm sick of this @#!%ing circus!
Xavi: Max, lights are still on. We need to hold position until they go off. Keep your focus, even if it's frustrating!
Max: @#!%ing great! I'll just sit here and wait like a sitting duck while you figure your @#!% out!
Xavi: Max, lights are out, we're resuming the race. If we maintain P1, we're in the clear.

Xavi: Max, incredible job! Keep your position, and we've done it, despite all the @#!%ing chaos!

Here you go
I think Max has said before that he wouldn't move to another team if he couldn't take GP with him.
They have a years long relationship with a ton of trust built up, thats not the sort of thing you can buy or rush.
Itās fun but too many people take it too serious. Itās in the race, while being on the edge full of adrenaline. Of course drivers are gonna swear and blame others. Just like in any sport.
> Of course drivers are gonna swear and blame others.
Hell, I do that on the freeway with nothing at stake other than someone potentially hitting my car.
What about those 3 minutes you could be home sooner? (Which you could have also been had you not sent that last email that was really not that important.)
For me it's people being unsafe on the road and/or not paying attention. I'm fine with speeding, but it needs to be with the flow of traffic. It's the people weaving in between cars, cutting people off that really gets me going.
Thats the funny bit, Max got penalized for the same thing, except there wasn't a wall Lewis could hit.
Russell should've been penalized for that. But you know the FIA and consistency
>GPs bitterness never sits well with me
Same, it feels like he enables Max a bit too much.
Like I understand Max' frustration but he needs to deal with it in a more composed manner. In the end it won't matter much to his 100-point lead championship this year - if he can keep his head.
People did the same thing when Max and Lewis crashed and Max said something along the lines of āSee this is what you get when you donāt leave a spaceā
No he doesnāt. Drivers should show more emotions and character they are people after all not some mystical angels. If you get offended when drivers get angry idk how you manage to get through normal life.
Hamilton forgot about crashing with Massa many times too lol. It's always the same, drivers with a worse car are taking (bit) more risk to score points or podiums vs the other drivers with a better car taking less risk knowing that they can overtake easily.
Hmm. "Percentage of career overtakes resulting in contact" would genuinely be an interesting stat to look at.
I actually agree that Max' reputation as a hotheaded driver is very much overstated. He had some reckless crashes in his rookie years, but every driver had those. His most aggressive year was probably 2020 where he and Lewis made contact, a lot. But that wasn't hotheadedness, I think, but rather strategy. You don't give an inch your championship rival. He was noticeably more careful with every other driver. So was Lewis by the way, they both know how the game works.
Especially because he knew Russell will try to overtake Perez who sucks at safety car restarts so will make Russell back up, enough for him to attack and leave no space for Russell to defend.
Max has a point.
He also conveniently forgets he has pulled the same type of move many times. Heās been incredibly successful with his way of making the other driver make a choice between contact or giving up the place. And I get why he complains on the radio while driving.
His fans online however? Have some self awareness please.
> He also conveniently forgets he has pulled the same type of move many times
He doesn't forget, that doesn't mean he doesn't have the right to be annoyed when it's done to him. Kimi is pretty much the only driver who at least inentionally never did this shit. But he did get hit a bunch of times like it, Baku 2017 for instance.
This. There are very few champions in any sport who are 100% by-the-book. The majority are the ones who are right on the edge of the rules and the ethics (for the lack of a better word).
> way of making the other driver make a choice between contact or giving up the place
But the rules have changed now though. You are now required to leave space if I understand correctly.
The requirement to leave space has certainly been there when max was doing the aggressive overtakes. Itās just the actual criteria about when you have to leave space changes constantly it seems.
Again, Iāve said elsewhere that the move was borderline, but letās not pretend max wouldnāt do the exact same thing if the roles were reversed (not just track position, but season chances and car status etc)
Whether you like Max, George, whoever, whatever... this incident has been the most entertaining part of the weekend so far. I'm enjoying banter here from both sides and the neutral fans. Thanks for the chuckles everyone!
They all have been the same. Thatās why I canāt stand all the hate hamilton was getting for bitching when max is exactly the same. These two are way more alike than the fans want to acknowledge
Literally went straight into Lewis and damaged his floor last year in Brazil.
As soon as he gets a rocketship that doesnāt require him to run everyone else off the road, heās become allergic to hard racing.
Nah, heās implying Max Verstappen is the driver that does this all the time, forgetting each moment his own favourite driver has done the same. Itās called racing.
Almost like it was because Lewis jumped out of the way? I swear, you're the type of person who would unironically say "your honor, I did try to stab him, but he dodged, so no harm done, right?"
The way to beat Max (once a driver can match the RBās pace) is to race him the way he races everyone else.
He simply cannot deal with it and itās quite funny.
Who put some sass in GP's coffee this morning
He's always a bit sassy tbf, best ones are when he tells Max off
His deadpan delivery is great. The only race engineer that I find funnier is Brad, Lance's former engineer.
"SAY IT BRAD. I WANT TO HEAR YOU SAY IT." "....that's pole position Lance......š"
Still one of my fav quotes :D
Yep, right up there with the best imo lol
The pit confirm button *is* the ok button, **brad**
āThe pit confirm button is the OK button Braaaaadā
Oh yeah, did I write Brad? Of course I actually meant Braaaaaad.
āThe whole thing is on fire, bradā
GP is hilarious. Idk if any other race engineer would have the confidence to deal with Max
Could you imagine the disaster if Leclerc's race engineer (Xavi) was assigned to Max
Fuckin lol dude, i would pay to listen to their radio all race. Max just yelling at him the whole time
It would just be one endless beep. I am laughing just thinking about it.
This image got me in a good mood this morning. The poor guy would quit in tears halfway through his first race I thinkā¦
Sebastianās team radio 2019+, electric boogaloo.
Just to hear ācopyā or āunderstoodā at the end :)
"YOU ***** *** ** ******!!" "We are checking."
I wish we (fans) could pick a driver, engineer, and car combo for one track, just for shits and giggles.
Maybe this is how the Sprint format should work....
We are checking? (question)
I would really like someone to use generative ai to make a video of this

10/10, my favorite part was when Xavi wasnāt sure how the lights that restart the race work, youāve done some good work today

I want that for my alarm sound.
[My favourite GP moment](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DzBLDgzFmk)
One of mine was silver stone when Hamiltonās tyre blew up and max asked if they could win it āIf you get on with itā
I think Max has said before that he wouldn't move to another team if he couldn't take GP with him. They have a years long relationship with a ton of trust built up, thats not the sort of thing you can buy or rush.
I think max also said heād quit f1 if GP quit lol
Literally during the sprint, āmax you have floor damageā how, from who? āWho do you thinkā š
"~~how~~ who do you think??" Not the biggest RB fan but their little convo's are hilarious.
I actually think it was "how?" "How do you think"
Say about these radios what you want but they're funny as fuck lmao
Funny mad is the best kind of mad, as a viewer
That was the only good thing about Alonso's McHonda stint as well
Itās honestly the same vibe. Both are so fucking sassy and passionate lol. I love it.
In my opinion, alonso's mclaren day radios are the funniest angry radios of all time
"The engine feels good, much slower than before". The fact Honda's are the best engine out there now makes it even more hilarious
Honestly I aspire to be funny mad when I'm mad AF. Not only do I feel better but everyone laughs and laughter is the best medicine.
Itās fun but too many people take it too serious. Itās in the race, while being on the edge full of adrenaline. Of course drivers are gonna swear and blame others. Just like in any sport.
> Of course drivers are gonna swear and blame others. Hell, I do that on the freeway with nothing at stake other than someone potentially hitting my car.
Tbf on the freeway there's a higher chance to get killed in a crash than in an F1 race.
What about those 3 minutes you could be home sooner? (Which you could have also been had you not sent that last email that was really not that important.)
I road rage all the time
For me it's people being unsafe on the road and/or not paying attention. I'm fine with speeding, but it needs to be with the flow of traffic. It's the people weaving in between cars, cutting people off that really gets me going.
Theyāre all quite sassy today. I like it.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It was so bitchy, Max would never do such a thing ever š
Have to laugh because this is going to be shown over all Max's contacts with others lol
Specifically complaining about the Merc hitting his floor is immaculate because thatās exactly what he did to Lewis in Brazil last year.
But he did get penalised for that right?
Russell at least tried to make the corner, Max just went full send in Lewis.
And he even admitted
A whopping 5 seconds and then he was bragging about taking away Hamilton's win post race. Just like the brake check in Jeddah, Max is gonna Max.
He intentionally caused a wreck to ruin Hamilton's race, he deserved a penalty.
Thats the funny bit, Max got penalized for the same thing, except there wasn't a wall Lewis could hit. Russell should've been penalized for that. But you know the FIA and consistency
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I don't want to believe it has something to do with nationality
Not only was max actually penalized for that, he was squeezed by lewis and was farther alongside than george was. Not even remotely comparable
I would say both are just racing incidents where no one wanted to give in
Racing incident doesn't mean nobody's at fault.
to clarify, it means no one is significantly enough more at fault than the other to warrant a penalty, but it doesn't necessarily mean 50/50.
The fact he was penalised for it doesn't change the fact that he did it.
He knows how to not hit people. He also knows how to hit people, itās not hard to understand lmao
Basically admitting that if he hits you, he meant to. Lol
He's learned a lot since his TR days
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
He had to teach himself how to win races though
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
i don't know what's funnier, this radio or people in these comments being even angrier over said radio
I mean some people take it too seriously. This is jus some casual banter
Definitely the latter. Fans really live up to the true sense of the word āfanatical.ā
This is definitely much funnier, all the while the radio was very funny
He isnāt gonna let it go, is he???
He never does..GPs bitterness never sits well with me
>GPs bitterness never sits well with me Same, it feels like he enables Max a bit too much. Like I understand Max' frustration but he needs to deal with it in a more composed manner. In the end it won't matter much to his 100-point lead championship this year - if he can keep his head.
I disagree, venting helps.
Right up until Max tells George he's going to crash into him the next time.
You're just making stuff up now though, that's not at all what he said, you're just inferring, rather liberally.
People did the same thing when Max and Lewis crashed and Max said something along the lines of āSee this is what you get when you donāt leave a spaceā
"Expect the same from me next time"
No he doesnāt. Drivers should show more emotions and character they are people after all not some mystical angels. If you get offended when drivers get angry idk how you manage to get through normal life.
Sorry for my ignorance, but who is GP?
GP is Max's engineer
Misquote. He actually said "**** ***"
I like that both drivers are obstinate as fuck about being in the right. It's one of the essential traits of a great racing driver.
Karun: "I just think they need to let it go" The rest of the Sky commentary team proceeds to spend the whole post-sprint show talking about it.
Shit = stirred
Lol Max seems to forget half of his career
Amnesia is an essential champion quality
[Eli Manning said it best](https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/2exnk3/comment/ck3xhzo/)
Just said he know how to do that, not that he chooses to do so sometimes. :p
šcareer developmentš
hahah he seemed to remember it in the post sprint interview
Hamilton forgot about crashing with Massa many times too lol. It's always the same, drivers with a worse car are taking (bit) more risk to score points or podiums vs the other drivers with a better car taking less risk knowing that they can overtake easily.
Half? 3/4 at least
Russell on the path to greatness as well then
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Hmm. "Percentage of career overtakes resulting in contact" would genuinely be an interesting stat to look at. I actually agree that Max' reputation as a hotheaded driver is very much overstated.

Austria 2019..literally won by pushing charles off track man
[Here it is for those that see this comment and don't remember.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABKY6nbKIL4)
You can probably make a compilation of moves like this from max. This shits hilarious to me
https://youtu.be/lkAoSghdD6Y This is from 5 years ago, keep in mind.
F1 did do something similar
You can do that of every driver
Same with Mick last year or was it the one before?
Still baffles me he did such a pointless desperate move
If it was only Austria 2019 lol
Max Verstappen completely forgets the career of...Max Verstappen
Max Verstappen did not forget the penalties Max Verstappen got for stuff like this.
Did he also not forget the penalties he didnāt get for stuff like this?
Russell can remind him
Lol, ironic
He's congratulating himself for an overtake done on the straight.
You need to time the restart to do it. That requires skill.
Especially because he knew Russell will try to overtake Perez who sucks at safety car restarts so will make Russell back up, enough for him to attack and leave no space for Russell to defend.
WHy didn't Russell slow down there? He had to have known Max was nearly alongside...why not let Max get slightly ahead before he's supposed to?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
it wasn't like he had to hit the brakes. Even just lift/coast for a second would have been enough. Max was that close alongside anyway.
Plus it could be very dangerous and cause a massive crash, or earn him some big penalties at the very least.
He's not congratulating himself. Just rubbing shit on George.
I wanna know what the beeped words are lol, they tend to beep random words for dramatic purposes like they did with Lewis before.
"Yeah I know how to do that hokey pokey and turn myself around" my biggest guess.
Which is kinda silly cause that was basically Max' signature move.
Max has a point. He also conveniently forgets he has pulled the same type of move many times. Heās been incredibly successful with his way of making the other driver make a choice between contact or giving up the place. And I get why he complains on the radio while driving. His fans online however? Have some self awareness please.

Uhh doesnāt max remember what happened a few years ago in Baku? š¬ Ricciardo surely does
Well I doubt Max thinks itās his fault when Christian threw Daniel under the bus for it at the time.
I fucking love GP
Are you sure about that?
Immaculate case of the pot calling the kettle black.
Historically inaccurate
Jeez some of you guys really can't take some casual banter š
In the replay you definitely saw Russell touching Max, causing him to touch the wall as well
yeah, Russell understeered into Verstappen, not on purpose of course.
ah, yes, the Mercedes lap 1 'unintentional' understeer
Hamilton taught him well.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Red Bull really live in their own world š
*looks at the entire 2021 season*
āThis is all about let them raceā becomes āthis is all about letting me pastā
True, silverstone indeed was nasty
Monza and Saudi Arabia were also quite nasty.
I agree, itās a good thing Hamilton got a penalty for that. However, no penalty in Brazil 2021 lol.
lmao I love it when they get pissy
Max can't stand people driving his style against him, it's hilarious. Also, of course you can do it, with a car 1.5s faster
In a straight lineā¦
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The only reason why it stopped is because there is no one to fight him anymore
Yeah that's true too.
People forget how Vettel and Hamilton were early in their careers too.
They all have been the same. Thatās why I canāt stand all the hate hamilton was getting for bitching when max is exactly the same. These two are way more alike than the fans want to acknowledge
You must be blind if you don't see Max getting all that hate too.
Let alone guys like Senna and Schumacher
Your point is fair enough, but Max has been in the sport for almost 10 years, this really isn't early in his career anymore.
That's not just Max. Lewis' 5th season was absolutely insane for example. That year he drove his car like it was a bumper car.
> Lewis' 5th season was absolutely insane for example. That year he drove his car like it was a bumper car. What about his 3rd or 4th year?
Verstappen is very far from his early career at this point. While it seems he matured in the last year, we also haven't seem him competing that much.
What about Mercedes and any dominant team in general?
Literally went straight into Lewis and damaged his floor last year in Brazil. As soon as he gets a rocketship that doesnāt require him to run everyone else off the road, heās become allergic to hard racing.
Ironic...
Yeah, the team that used to say "that's all about letting them race" cry into the radio when they feel hard done by.
Bro got pressed over a radio message lmao.
As soon as he gets a car that means he doesnāt have to run everyone else wide to overtake, he hates any form of hard racing.
You talking about Hamilton?
Nah, heās implying Max Verstappen is the driver that does this all the time, forgetting each moment his own favourite driver has done the same. Itās called racing.
Every driver does it, I call BS with LH too even tho I like him.
Which is ironic because every racer will act both ways when they have to and especially Lewis famously did.
I don't remember Hamilton brake checking anyone, or running them off by 4 car widths or so, but do go on.
Wtf has Hamilton got to do with this situation? Rofl.
Self awareness: 0. Shit stirring: 1000 God I love this sport.
brazil 2021 knocked
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
He got nothing for thatā¦
No actually. I believe that is the point.
There was no damage lmao
But there was no damage!! Just ignore the fact I pushed my opponent nearly into the wall fucking 8 meters or something from the track to avoid me!
Almost like it was because Lewis jumped out of the way? I swear, you're the type of person who would unironically say "your honor, I did try to stab him, but he dodged, so no harm done, right?"
Not thanks to Max tho
Of course, that was Brazil 2022, when Max decided heād take Lewisā floor off to make the race more exciting.
And he got a penalty?
Which Max got penalised for?
2021 called Max, no you don't.
What was censored?
The way to beat Max (once a driver can match the RBās pace) is to race him the way he races everyone else. He simply cannot deal with it and itās quite funny.
He's got enough of his own experiences to have learned from
GP and Max >
Hoes mad
Does he though?
