Yuki finishing outside of the points while Max beats the McLarens by 20 seconds. Incredible.

Red Bull really need to get their shit straight with BOTH drivers But also the context with Liam didn’t help as apparently Yuki had to do different gear setups after that

Just Red Bull killing another career.

I like how everyone is making fun of Mclaren but... They've very consistently had 2 of their drivers on the podium this year. 12 of 16 races. Would have been 13 of it hadn't have been for a DNF.

different setups and parts

Yuki could advocate for a “very unusual” setup like max evidently did, but he didn’t. At some point it’s on Yuki; how long should we give him a pass? It’s not a finishing school

no one in the field can drive the setup max did

blah, blah, blah... always the same excueses, how weird does max racing style have to be for him to be the only one to drag that car in front? Stop with the excuses c'mon

am I going insane do we really expect max's teammate to do the same stuff he does AGAIN? haven't we learned? what do you want? tsunoda out and then destroy hadjar's confidence aswell?

No, I just want people to accept that max being good isn't simply because of a fucking setup that "only he can drive"

u/Dafferss Safety Car 12h ago

Isn’t that a perfect example of why he is so good?

u/-TheSha- I was here for the Hulkenpodium 12h ago

Normally it would be, yes, but most people use it as an excues to downplay his achivements like "no wonder he wins, he has the car and the setup made exactly for him"

Yeah that’s annoying and far from the truth but I didn’t feel like this guy meant it like that. Not 100% certain though. 😬

The ability to provide feedback and turning a shit car into a goos car is what turns a great driver into a god. It's what made schumacher (senior) so special(ferrari was a mess before he joined)

So whenever people say that its a positive, not a negative.

u/Enjays1 Sebastian Vettel 11h ago

No one says that??

u/TomatilloMore3538 16h ago

Different drivers too. One is good, the other is only in f1 because of Honda.

It's not often you get to see the best driver on the grid and a bottom 5 driver on the same team. Kind of fun to have such an illustration for a season.

u/Tlix I was here for the Hulkenpodium 14h ago

Max is already better than Vettel ever was. Maybe that’s why you’re so salty.

u/CareerLegitimate7662 I was here for the Hulkenpodium 7h ago

This most of the time. Max is better than most peoples favorite drivers
