    Surprised to see Max do this these days when he’s matured a ton in f1 and he’s trying to do a lot for sim racing.

      He doesn’t need to race anyone in F1 at the moment. When there’s an occasion where he does, he always shows himself either during the move (last year Silverstone against Mick) or afterward (this year forgot where - Baku? against Russell).

    When I read the other guy had hit him first, I could imagine getting mad at some asshole…but, after watching the video, yeah, the other guy tapped him in a tough corner when everyone was fighting. Didn’t seem intentional and tough stuff under breaking. Max on the other hand, totally intentional.

    I would’ve shunted another player too, but it probably wouldn’t have been intentional but rather a consequence of me being terrible at racing.

    Sounds like Max in his element alright.

    Ed: after seeing the vid, holy shit. What a manchild. Shit like this should get anyone banned from every sport for a year.

          They really don’t. He got DQ’d from the race, nothing else is necessary. It’s not like you can compare this to a similar action in actual racing as no one was put in danger.

      Man. I really want to like max, but sportsmanship and respect is something he does not seem to have. The way he races and responds on track when being pushed gets real ugly, even though he has the skill and ability to not make it ugly…ugh.

        He looks to be well adjusted because he’s not being challenged. I’m expecting him to start acting up again should he end up in another close fight. He really would’ve needed some correcting in '21.

        That and not cutting ties to his cunt of a father makes him very unlikeable in my eyes.
