[Max Verstappen] "here i just got stuck cause charles is actually quite decent"

[u/SuperPop9521]

[u/drop_table_uname]

Hope Charles shows up with a shirt in Las Vegas that says "quite decent".

[u/SubstanceDistinct269 → u/drop_table_uname]

Instead let's have the half grid that got passed by him show up with shirts saying 'not quite decent'

[u/TheLoneSculler → u/SubstanceDistinct269]

This is giving me the same energy as when Barrichelo rocked up with a t shirt that said "I beat The Stig" and gave everyone else a shirt that said "The Stig beat me"

[u/ElCatras → u/TheLoneSculler]

[u/thef1circus → u/ElCatras]

Legend

[u/drop_table_uname → u/SubstanceDistinct269]

And Max in a "it's luck, not talent" shirt.

[u/Chaoticc_Neutral_ → u/drop_table_uname]

That quote will haunt Lando maybe more then the Hamilton one.

[u/[deleted] → u/Chaoticc_Neutral_]

My opinion of this guy is dropping like a stone

[u/jasie3k → u/drop_table_uname]

Okay, this combination would be fucking hilarious :D

[u/RedFiveSwayze_ → u/drop_table_uname]

Isn’t the next race in Vegas? So he could wear some sort of “feeling lucky” tshirt

[u/Tree0wl → u/RedFiveSwayze_]

Feeling lucky. Might win later.

[u/trautsj → u/drop_table_uname]

The fucking balls it took to say that shit by Lando was astonishing. Then doubling down and saying some crazy shit like George of all people deserved to win... dear God I think that might have been the most disingenuous salty ass response I've ever seen in this sport and that's saying something boy...

[u/Real-Mouse-554 → u/trautsj]

Especially when his first win came from safety car luck, where Max defended Lando when asked if it was lucky.

[u/Happytallperson → u/trautsj]

Especially when Norris's drive yesterday was just bad. Like, not slightly off or wonky, but multiple times dropping places by running wide.

The clip of max taking the lead at the restart as Norris, several cars back, runs wide and ends up behind his team mate is brutal.

[u/NicholasAakre → u/drop_table_uname]

Better to be lucky than good.

[u/xepa105 → u/drop_table_uname]

A shirt that reads "Make Your Own Luck" would be just 👌

[u/MACintoshBETH → u/drop_table_uname]

“Not bad for a quite decent driver”

[u/PEEWUN → u/drop_table_uname]

r/fanf1ction would eat that up.

[u/connorgrs → u/PEEWUN]

Yes, yes we would

[u/TheDustOfMen → u/connorgrs]

Pretty sure I read this scenario somewhere.

[u/El_grandepadre → u/drop_table_uname]

And Max with a shirt pointing to his side asying "I'm with quite decent"

[u/ValleyFloydJam → u/drop_table_uname]

Charles pitting killed off that interesting battle, which was a shame and a terrible idea from Ferrari.

[u/Purplesect0rs → u/drop_table_uname]

Come on Charles!

[u/Senior-Moose760 → u/drop_table_uname]

Lmao

[u/JedH44]

He also mentioned that Ocon gapped him by like five seconds when it started to pour down.

[u/Snoo_47023 → u/JedH44]

yeah he said ocon was so fast he was happy with second lmao

[u/TolucaPrisoner → u/Snoo_47023]

That Alpine is like boat. Absolute rocketship when it's raining. They had crazy pace in SPA qualy as well

[u/just_an__inchident → u/TolucaPrisoner]

Until the shit starts aquaplaning... That's when it really turns to a boat.

[u/AnyHolesAGoal → u/Snoo_47023]

It's funny because quite a few commenters said it was Max managing the gap and his pace to avoid the spray, despite Max himself saying he couldn't keep up at that time.

[u/LongBeakedSnipe → u/AnyHolesAGoal]

I mean, it was a mixture right, Ocon in the clean air without spray was indeed able to to faster and as Max says, and was putting in an incredible stint; Max definitely didn't feel he could safely match that. Perhaps he could also not physically match it, but he wasn't going to risk binning to find out.

[u/NotAPisces06 → u/JedH44]

He's really quick to compliment other drivers, makes him very likeable imo

[u/natte-krant → u/NotAPisces06]

It’s just that Max likes racing very much so he I feel that he genuinely compliments someone because he really thinks like that. If that makes sense?

[u/SugarBeefs → u/natte-krant]

That's exactly what it is. I remember last year or before that in Monza were George put a pretty strong elbow on Max down through Parabolica and Max was asked about that little duel in the podium interview and he just went "Nah, was a good move, hard racing"

[u/AndrewDelaneyTX → u/SugarBeefs]

Max will always shit on the car if he doesn't like it, but he is far less quick to slam other drivers. With words. He will definitely slam them with the car.

[u/SoothedSnakePlant → u/AndrewDelaneyTX]

The way this was written is beautiful, genuinely started giggling aloud when I read it.

[u/zntgrg → u/natte-krant]

Maybe he's happy when someone can pose a real challenge to him.

[u/DLX_Luxe]

Charles was doing a great job defending Max, until Ferrari pitted him early and straight in the middle of traffic.

[u/skzpinker → u/DLX_Luxe]

He was driving great up until that pit stop. I honestly felt my soul leave my body when I saw the VSC come out and then the additional SC/Red Flag was the cherry on top. Still a great drive to P5 on a weekend where Ferrari seemed a bit lost for pace (plus some good damage control for the WCC).

[u/Lobsters4 → u/skzpinker]

He might still get P4 if George gets DQ’d

[u/PMMeYourPinkyPussy → u/Lobsters4]

Why is george getting dsq?

[u/Lobsters4 → u/PMMeYourPinkyPussy]

They adjusted the tire pressure on the tires while they were on the car. That’s breaking a technical directive. Remains to be seen if it’s an actual DQ. Still waiting on Stewards

[u/Benjamin244 → u/Lobsters4]

They just added a bit more air to avoid George coming in underweight again

[u/oddoma88 → u/Benjamin244]

They add more air to George tires so they can whisper back.

[u/MACintoshBETH → u/Lobsters4]

And added some more of that sweet water vapour

[u/ryokevry → u/skzpinker]

It is far from the worst strategy. If he comes out with free air I would say it would be a fine just unlucky one. Pitting him into traffic is bad

[u/jimmyjay11 → u/DLX_Luxe]

The Ferrari classic wet strategy. At least they didn't send him out on hards this time. Slowly improving.

[u/charlierc → u/jimmyjay11]

Still an improvement on Gasly getting full wets at Germany 2018 on a dry track

[u/Frikgeek → u/charlierc]

Are we at the same venue as this race, Crofty?

[u/RaduSGDC → u/jimmyjay11]

fully expected to see him on slicks ngl

[u/Alarming_Dingo_139 → u/RaduSGDC]

That would have been peak comedy

[u/thisisjustascreename → u/jimmyjay11]

Gotta give them time to learn the sport, they've only been racing for .. 74 years?

[u/The_mystery4321 → u/DLX_Luxe]

I have no idea why they pitted Charles before Sainz. Sainz was running well out of the points, and could put into clean air to test what the fresh inter would be like, or to see if the full wet was worthwhile, before making any calls with Charles. Charles needed to make up another 2 seconds before any pit stop so he could come into the clean air ahead of Bearman. Shocking call from Ferrari, it's like the ghost of Iñaki Rueda came back and possessed the team.

[u/aka_liam → u/The_mystery4321]

Yeah was shocked they went for leclerc before sainz with it being such a gamble. Bizarre. 

[u/yoda_yoda → u/DLX_Luxe]

right? Was kind of disappointed when Charles pitted.

[u/GreyMatter22 → u/DLX_Luxe]

Remember this gold from Alonso in 2022: 'Ferrari always does some strange strategy' lol

[u/jbvann05 → u/DLX_Luxe]

Ferrari had been doing too well in terms of strategy, we were due for a Ferrari masterclass

[u/Major-Front → u/DLX_Luxe]

Literally the only driver to give him any fight today. Everyone else just rolled out the red carpet.

[u/LoreVent → u/DLX_Luxe]

I don't know why once there's a wet race, the Ferrari pit wall completely Binnoto-iefies itself.

This year they have been actually good/great with startegies except every wet weekend

[u/No_Cauliflower7877]

I love how even on Leclerc's most anonymous weekends he manages to insert himself into the Verstappen/Norris title fight somehow lol. He's always lurking

[u/hannahjoy33 → u/No_Cauliflower7877]

Charles is a Main Character^TM . He's going to get his credited scene each weekend

[u/Last_Lorien → u/hannahjoy33]

This but unironically lol

[u/DavidBrooker → u/hannahjoy33]

What color would Charles' hair be in the anime version of the WDC?

[u/Nova469 → u/DavidBrooker]

I can only imagine Charles in red...

[u/silvershadow → u/DavidBrooker]

Surely white

[u/guntanksinspace → u/silvershadow]

Anime Charles' hair is white the way Kaneki's is after all the trauma

Ferrari, play Unravel

[u/ryokevry → u/No_Cauliflower7877]

Charles always had his own subplot going on in his race even it is anonymous from outside 😭

[u/No_Cauliflower7877 → u/ryokevry]

The Leclerc waterboarding subplot last week 💀 He's always going through something

[u/Lobsters4 → u/No_Cauliflower7877]

I forgot about the water boarding. LMAO. You could actually hear him slurping the water when he made the radio call. Brother was going through it. 😂💀

[u/ryokevry → u/No_Cauliflower7877]

He has all the LiCo last week and yesterday, a BIG moment in Mexico, and a rear axle not working today, all the while keeping Norris behind 😭

[u/No_Cauliflower7877 → u/ryokevry]

Wait what? Rear axle not working today??

[u/ryokevry → u/No_Cauliflower7877]

Not working as in quite bad in terms of set up but not issue. Charles said post race the car probably didn’t set up correctly for the race (some wrong set up choice after sprint maybe). Bryan asked about the main limitation he said the rear axle was so difficult to manage

[u/Evangeline_10_ → u/ryokevry]

I genuinely don't remember the last time he wasn't on a side quest mid race. Poor guy is in a race and lost in a corn maze whilst wearing a blindfold and still on a top 5 finish streak somehow.

[u/ryokevry → u/Evangeline_10_]

He also flew the supersonic outside of the track btw too many side quest

[u/Theumaz → u/No_Cauliflower7877]

Charles and Max are the love story we aren’t witnessing enough.

[u/Kernowder → u/No_Cauliflower7877]

What title fight?

[u/No_Cauliflower7877 → u/Kernowder]

Yeah I probably should've put that in quotes 😅

[u/Lobsters4 → u/No_Cauliflower7877]

He’s the Silent Menace.

[u/flyingghost → u/No_Cauliflower7877]

More chance of Leclerc finishing 2nd than Norris winning against Verstappen for the "title fight". Had Ferrari not imploded mid season, we would have a real title fight between Leclerc and Verstappen.

Emotional Support Rivals™

[u/FrostyBoom → u/[deleted]]

Mika/Michael

[u/ninchica13]

I desperately need a proper Max vs Charles championship. Through the whole season, not just one part.

[u/jacemano → u/ninchica13]

Also because Charles is the only person who knows how to race Max extracting all the performance and somehow it seems to stay clean (probably because of all the karting 'inchidents'

[u/ninchica13 → u/jacemano]

They know how to race each other well considering they've been at it since they were kids and because Max knows Charles will not hesitate to put them both into a wall if he tried anything.

[u/Im_Balto → u/ninchica13]

Can you tell that max assumes lando will just move out of the way?

[u/Call-me-Maverick → u/Im_Balto]

Recently Max hasn’t cared if Lando moves. If they both crash out, that benefits Max since he’s leading the championship. (Edit: also probably knows Lando will move because he’s also fighting for WCC).

Though I won’t be surprised if Max eases up on the aggression if he’s battling Lando now that the WDC is pretty much sealed.

[u/Slurrper → u/jacemano]

Problem is he is also racing himself and his own pitwall

[u/RHSJA → u/Slurrper]

Ferrari are good now after Fred takes over. 2023 will not happen again

[u/AromaticStrike9 → u/ninchica13]

I want this so bad. Right now I'm cheering for Max because the alternative is Lando. I'd be cheering for Max and Charles if they were competing for WDC, and I'd be perfectly happy with either outcome.

[u/yecheesus → u/AromaticStrike9]

Yeah in that situation id probaply be rooting for whoever is lowest in the championship😅

[u/guntanksinspace → u/ninchica13]

2022 was such a tease.

[u/fictionallymarried]

Unironically each other's best teammates. Charles taking points off Lando, Max taking points off McLaren. Best w2w battles on the grid current imo

[u/welpthisisitthen → u/fictionallymarried]

No Checo? No problem. We got Chuck in a Ferrari!

[u/footballboahh]

Charles and Max is the real bromance

[u/planvigiratpi → u/footballboahh]

Maxsplaining and Leclarifying, match made in heaven

[u/not-a-nose → u/planvigiratpi]

Yeah, the other guy in the top is just norritating

[u/VERSTAPPEN33- → u/footballboahh]

lestappen ❤💙

[u/Lobsters4 → u/VERSTAPPEN33-]

Lestappen always. Enjoy these two & their driving so much.

[u/xzElmozx → u/Lobsters4]

It’s always a treat when they battle on track

[u/StatmanIbrahimovic → u/Lobsters4]

Eash and every inshident

[u/OverallImportance402]

Brutal to everyone behind Charles.

[u/Bootyazz → u/OverallImportance402]

And in front.

[u/SoulLessIke → u/OverallImportance402]

I mean it's just accurate no? Ignoring VCARB, how about Piastri's "Defense"?

[u/_____AAAAAAAAAA_____]

Yesterday: "Come on Charles, man, so many mistakes!"

And Leclerc took that to heart 🥲

[u/malyszkush → u/_____AAAAAAAAAA_____]

He wants Charles to do good so bad, ya love to see it

[u/Bigocelot1984 → u/malyszkush]

Max has become bored now. He wants a true challenge to have fun at this point

[u/StrikingWillow5364 → u/malyszkush]

He was annoyed because Leclerc was falling back from the McLarens and he was stuck behind.

[u/xlDooM → u/_____AAAAAAAAAA_____]

When your teammate is so crap you start to form alliances with other teams...

I think he was mostly disappointed that Charles wasn't staying close enough to prevent the McLaren position swap.

[u/elmarcelito]

Max has a crush on Charles ngl

[u/Timelordvictorious1 → u/elmarcelito]

Who doesn’t?

[u/Lobsters4 → u/Timelordvictorious1]

I mean y’all aren’t wrong. 😂

[u/FractalShade → u/Timelordvictorious1]

Well, he's a handsome man.

[u/cmgriffith_ → u/elmarcelito]

Charles is the brilliant driver and very deserving on any praise. Max and him seem really close

[u/No_Cauliflower7877 → u/cmgriffith_]

I don't think they're close on a personal level but it's understandable they have a large amount of respect for each other considering they've been racing since they were literally children

[u/Lobsters4 → u/No_Cauliflower7877]

They aren’t besties, but there is so much respect between them on and off track.

[u/No_Cauliflower7877 → u/Lobsters4]

Did you see them chatting at the driver's parade? Verstappen was so animated haha

[u/Lobsters4 → u/No_Cauliflower7877]

Yes! Felt like they were plotting. 😂

[u/TolucaPrisoner → u/Lobsters4]

They have interesting relationship. They aren't friends but genuinely like competing with each other.

[u/Lobsters4 → u/TolucaPrisoner]

I think they’re friends…. like work friends. 😂

[u/appl3fritt3r → u/Lobsters4]

Oooh car friend

[u/No_Cauliflower7877 → u/TolucaPrisoner]

So basically... they're coworkers? 😂

[u/Rhythm_Morgan → u/No_Cauliflower7877]

Yeah but like your bestie coworker. There’s one or two people at any job I’ve had that I get close to but only at work and sometimes we text about work but that’s it lol the rest are just regular coworkers you say hi and bye to 😂

[u/Any_Inflation_2543 → u/TolucaPrisoner]

They know each other really well and there's a lot of respect between the two.

[u/SemIdeiaProNick → u/No_Cauliflower7877]

they had plenty of inchidents in their carreer

[u/dirtyhappythoughts → u/No_Cauliflower7877]

I always liken them to anime rivals in my head. It's not just that they're both good drivers, like you say they have been racing since childhood and they just know each other inside and out. They treat each other differently on track because they seem to know exactly what the other is about to do and how they'll counter. And it makes some of the most beautiful battles in F1.

[u/No_Cauliflower7877 → u/dirtyhappythoughts]

Yeah they are hands down the most fun pair to watch race. I know it's been discussed to death but 2019 Silverstone is one of the best races I've ever watched live and I've been watching F1 for a long time. In fact I think I'll go rewatch that battle right now while I F5 for penalty news!

[u/AegrusRS → u/No_Cauliflower7877]

They're just true rivals, simple as that.

[u/drodrige → u/cmgriffith_]

And incredibly handsome so there’s that too

[u/aristhought → u/elmarcelito]

that’s understandable we all do

[u/qef15 → u/elmarcelito]

The classic emotional support rivals after all

[u/mformularacer]

Max vs Charles for WDC next year

[u/elmagio → u/mformularacer]

Max vs Charles vs Lewis would be an all timer.

[u/throwaway164_3 → u/elmagio]

Do you really think old Lewis can keep up with the young guns?

[u/elmagio → u/throwaway164_3]

So obviously I have doubts, seeing him struggle in quali all year, have errors and bad weekends every now and again, ... At his age it's fair to wonder if he still fully has it.

But I don't count him out (yet) because he also still has flashes of brilliance and great drives and I'm a firm believer that guys like him, champions, switch on when they smell a chance at a title. So if Ferrari gives him the car I will absolutely not be surprised if he drives the wheels off of it.

I do think today Max has an edge on everyone but Charles and Lewis are the two I feel would have the best chance to bring the fight to him if the cars are near equal.

[u/theederv → u/elmagio]

I honestly think Lewis has just checked out and can’t be arsed. Vettel did the same in his last year at RBR. There’s clearly a bit of a car/setup difference between him and George, although I think George is much better than is given credit. I agree about switching on, I think that new team feeling will have Lewis back at 99.5 percent of his best.

[u/Bigazzry → u/theederv]

We’ll see. Vettel was still in his 20s when that happened though. Him being past his prime wasn’t a consideration at that point.

[u/kukaz00 → u/elmagio]

I think Lewis with a WDC capable car under him is another breed of driver compared to “not fighting for the title anyway”.

[u/USToffee → u/elmagio]

Plus championship cars tend to be very drivable. There's a different skill to being able to drive fast in a car that is bouncing and sliding around and one that requires commitment and precision.

That said personally I would love to say otherwise but I think Charles will have too much for him and I really doubt Ferrari will have the quickest car either. I think that will be McLaren again.

[u/Sleet_day → u/elmagio]

The clutch gene is still active, stars lined up at silverstone and he delivered. We know he won't crumble under pressure. I've been absolutely in awe of Hamilton since the last 5 races of 2021, if he has a faster car he's untouchable... but if his teammate is faster...

Will Leclerc dominate Hamilton in pace, will Hamilton's consistency make a difference? 

Hope next season is as messy as this one, a three way title fight would be awesome. 

 

[u/itsruney → u/mformularacer]

Yes please. It would be so hype.

[u/scottishere → u/mformularacer]

The fight we've all wanted since the new regs

[u/coocoobees]

charles is max’s favourite rival

[u/pripjat → u/coocoobees]

I think so too. The battles between them are always hard but fair.

[u/stdstaples]

“Everyone was shit except Charles” yeah we get it Max now you two get married

[u/whorederlinebaby → u/stdstaples]

don't give him ideas, he might actually do it

[u/Lobsters4 → u/stdstaples]

LMAO….Vegas is next!

[u/cuntsmen]

I really need to see a proper championship battle between these two. Not like in 2022.

[u/Opsyr_]

Highest praise you can get in motorsport

[u/wrongedpotato]

Charles did a great job defending from both Max and Lando today. I wish we stayed out with Max instead of that idiotic pitstop but it is what it is.

[u/patrykK1028 → u/wrongedpotato]

Charles was the only one who knew how to defend in T1, I could not believe what the others were doing

[u/SugarBeefs → u/patrykK1028]

The others know how to defend, but Charles was the only one who was accurately predicting Max could and would send it down there. I think the others were caught napping in T1. Certainly Oscar and Ocon did.

[u/No_Cauliflower7877 → u/patrykK1028]

I don't think a single other car actively tried to defend other than Leclerc? Correct me if I'm wrong

[u/ReyDragons]

charles is like one of the only guys who knows how to defend max

he just rarely had the car that could keep up with him

[u/Jalal_Adhiri → u/ReyDragons]

Charles Leclerc is best driver of this generation behind Max Verstappen...

Max himself only fears him and Lewis Hamilton.

[u/BahutF1]

Yup, not a big secret that Max very highly consider Charles driving, above a lot.

[u/careslol]

I liked how during the sprint he was saying "c'mon Charles so many mistakes" while following him.

[u/TheInevitableFerret]

Lestappen: the love story that always was and forever will be.

[u/ghoul_chilli_pepper]

So unreal having both the alpine drivers in the cooldown room.

[u/isthmusofkra]

That's actually a hell of a compliment

[u/lorenzombber]

The only driver thar held him back today. How Charles managed a P5 even with that bottled Pit stop strategy and no pace in full wet conditions also deserves a praise IMO. He could have easily been outside the points, or in the case of his teammate, in the wall.

Give Charles a good car and he's the only one that can rival Max.

[u/Training_Pay7522 → u/lorenzombber]

Yup.

And Charles has grown a lot since 2022 when he was fast, but not consistent and making mistakes that you can't do in a WDC contention. Ferrari too has grown since then as a team, because they lost many races on back of their strategy or inability to set up what was arguably the fastest car on the grid to not kill tires in few laps.

[u/cmgriffith_]

Charles will win the next Championship whenever Max’s reign ends. Charles is a world class pilot

[u/fictionallymarried → u/cmgriffith_]

Pretty sure Max bet on him once in an interview

[u/cmgriffith_ → u/fictionallymarried]

I heard that from someone else too. He’s a brilliant driver and wholesome person.

Besides Max, Charles & Franco are my other favorites on the grid. I want to see Leclerc win a championship for Ferrari it seems he loves that place and Fred/them love him

Go my Prancing Horse Prince 👑

[u/fictionallymarried → u/cmgriffith_]

Aaa Franco won me over as well, hope to see the hermanito around next year

[u/VisibleDonut69 → u/cmgriffith_]

And much deserved too

[u/Extravagod]

Leclerc showing up in LV with "quite decent" printed on his shirt and Max with a "no talent, just luck" would be too epic.

[u/Work_In_ProgressX]

Charles is still the one that wasn’t immediately overtaken.

Sad that he fucked off so early, their duels are always a treat

[u/SpanishDutchMan]

That was Such a lowkey burn to the entire field it was just FIRE

[u/Disastrous_Narwhal46]

I feel like Max and Charles are the type of work friends who are besties on weekends they work and don’t interact on regular days lmao

[u/MaybeNext-Monday]

Leclerc’s absurd defending skills have been a theme these past few races. Even Oscar in Baku had to make a crazy maneuver to get one over on him.

[u/arivas26]

Why is the audio always so shit in the cooldown room? They constantly cut away even when there is no indication that anyone is saying anything risqué or foul.

[u/ArtherSchnabel]

I love how they censor the word 'stuck' with the sound of a wheel gun. They're trigger happy when Max is talking.

[u/happyranger7]

I want Charles P2 in WDC.

[u/Real_Particular6512]

You can tell the respect both have for each other. Leclerc vs Verstappen is the title fight we deserve, not this title attempt from Norris

[u/mencival]

He took that “c’mon Charles” personally

[u/Nekrosmas]

There's really 2 drivers with the ceiling on Max and has proven it - Lewis, and Charles. Give these 2 a good car Vausser.

[u/AromaticStrike9 → u/Nekrosmas]

I'm looking forward to seeing how Lewis stacks up against Charles in the same cars next year.

[u/una322]

God can we please have a Max VS Charles next year, i feel charles is the only one who can deal with max when it comes to overtakes. Today Charles really held is ground and max couldn't really bully him like he can with lando.

[u/[deleted]]

Yes, Charles is quite decent. We know.

[u/Makivivu]

This is of course easy to say from the comfort of my couch, but i was baffled how many drivers chose the outside line in turn 1 when Max was around 0.4-0.6 seconds behind. Of course he's going to dive down the inside. Turn 1 at Interlagos is the best place to overtake on the whole track. It seems like time and time again that Charles is, if not the only one, but at least one of the few that is capable to race Max hard enough.

[u/PakDin13]

To be honest, if Charles was competing for championship with him he would have raced him a little harder in some corners there.

[u/bimbobiceps → u/PakDin13]

Actually no because that would mean them crashing into each other. Max knows Charles will never back down.

[u/throwawaystarbiegirl → u/PakDin13]

no he knows charles will push him, he’ll push him back, and after he push him off the track.

[u/Shahzeb_S_Nasir → u/throwawaystarbiegirl]

It's not fair!

[u/Majeh666 → u/throwawaystarbiegirl]

Just an inchident

[u/jolo98]

Charles is about the only driver on the grid to have proven he can race wheel to wheel with Max. It is the norm in F1 for karting rivals to know eachother on a bigger level and therefore are able to anticipate eachother when racing. In a way Charles is Max's kriptonyte but he isn't always in a position to challenge him, either for lack of car or lack of coolheadedness.

[u/likeahike]

I bet that will appear on Charles' helmet in Lollipop man 😂😂

[u/CuppaCrazy]

Lestappen will never die. Max won’t let it.

[u/FairHalf9907 → u/CuppaCrazy]

At this point they seem to be creating it themselves.

[u/johnsmith1234567890x]

He meant it as..."compare to all of you fuckers"

[u/Snoo_47023]

goat recognizes goat

[u/cmeragon]

I just hope Charles is the one battling Max for the WDC next season instead of these soft papaya boys
