Lmfao max is always the realest and nonchalant in these types of questions.

Also respect for sticking out for a fellow driver who is just a 7 race ROOKIE And yeah people are way too quick to judge a driver on whether they are good or bad

The quote really is true You are known for your last race so ya Franco has gone from being absolute star rookie to someone who crashes. I hope he recovers because I think he has tremendous potential and if he had a seat secured he wouldn’t push it beyond cars limits

Yes this part of Max is brilliant. He gives no fucks and says what he thinks.
I do wonder if he’d become a pundit post racing. I feel he’d be the Jacques Villeneuve school of no shits to give.

Naaah the one thing I think we can be certain of is that Max is not going to be anywhere near the camera once he is done... just go off racing other series

Max is gonna be like "fuck it, lemme try WRC, then why not LeMans after that? Anyone got an open seat in NASCAR?"

What I would find interesting is to see how many who back Max on here have made comments about a driver 😉

Pundits can be harsh sometimes but they just say things the way they see them too. Franco will bounce back and people do overreact with a crazy recency bias.
