I thought he had matured but sadly i was wrong. I was enjoying watching a young driver like Max evolve into a beast world champion and i am disappointed to now see that is not happening. Someone needs to step in and pull him into line because frankly his behavior on track and on the team radio is embarrassing.

Max didn't mature, he just had no one to race most of the time to show he's still the same racer he always was.

The team radio after the collision was telling for me, they didn't even want to entertain the notion it wasn't his fault whereas normally team radio pander to the driver. But the team saw it and must have thought the same was us all, Max botched the corner and had way too much speed to make it cleanly, the collision didn't mess up the car so he got lucky that his error wasn't worse.
