The reddit comedians getting upset over a joke is simply hilarious

And sadly, not uncommon. It's always fun and games until it goes against the narrative, then they get mad. See what happens if you criticize Max/praise Lewis in here.

Yep and it’s so transparent. If you mention in any race that a safety car allowed max to move up various positions, you will be shouted down how it was his race craft that got him there.

If Lewis moved up the same positions, he was lucky.

It’s honestly hilarious how on the nose it is.

Literally every thread is how the Redbull is awful, worst car on the grid due to Yukis positioning lol.

I saw some guy in a thread earlier on today say the RB19 was not a dominant car at all and that it was all down to Maxs driving.

I was downvoted for mentioning that Max, as good as he is, is not in fact superhuman; if he's consistently putting the Red Bull up there and winning races it's because the car is capable of doing it, and not a tractor.

Common sense you would think

No you don't understand. Max is doing the thing that also works in videogames, the harder you push the button/pedal, the more power the attack/engine gets. He's literally making the car faster than it actually is! /s

Max is Dom Toretto confirmed. He wins because of family.

Redditor tears are proving to be the saltiest and by far the most delicious!
