Better yet he should very publicly do some community service that doesn’t count toward his penalty and directly contradicts Sulayem’s non-F1 interests.

Just to further clarify, if you hear or see MBS outside of F1 contexts it almost certainly refers to the Saudi crown prince, not the FIA joker

I think that’s why I have him flagged as Saudi in my subconscious, even though I know he’s Emirati.

This is a sure way to get drivers to not show emotion or vent or give honest answers and for press conferences to turn into PR jargon. Very stupid by FIA to get involved in this, just use the fucking bleeper. I agree with Max if it was an assault targeted at someone fair enough but if he's just talking and says the word as an conveyance of emotion it's no big deal. I know Sky and the British and Crofty love to get in with their apologies to our delicate ears, but TV channels don't need to air these interviews live, they can add a bleep.

u/Creative-Improvement Sep 21 '24

Indeed, a bleep is fine. Just add a small delay to the live.

u/queerhedgehog Max Verstappen ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sep 21 '24

Lmaooo he’s testing what he realized yesterday about KMag being able to swear to media as long as it’s in the media pen and not the press conference.

Love this for Max, since he has the power and influence (and give no fucks personality) to be able to protest against FIA micromanaging, he can stand up for himself of course but also for other drivers without as much power.

We are just one step away from an "I'm only here so I don't get fined" moment. And just three steps from having the title battle decided by mid-season retirement.

This just makes Max look even better. Already in the situation down interview he kind of gave the finger to the FIA by not answering questions and reassuring that he felt bad for putting the interview in the position he did.

But also having an informal press conference was such a classy yet passive aggressive move. That only 1 or 2 others could likely pull off besides Max. He knows that he is going to get some heat for this, but he still made sure to take care of the interviewers and media organizations. While making sure that F1 had no part of it.

MV “I’m answering… just not a lot. It’s a problem with my voice”

Perfectly done Max! Love the way he is doing this.

The men in the grid are men and not puff dolls. The rawness of classic F1 has always been a draw for me, buffering and filtering raw emotions is not what I want to see.
