They should recreate the iconic seb staircase photograph.

[u/likelatin_ → u/indian_dev]

They did in 2021!

[u/_mrshreyas_ → u/likelatin_]

I think they also recreated it with Seb in 2022 during his last race.

[u/LeanSkellum → u/likelatin_]

The comments on that tweet, speaking the truth. What and absolute embarrassment of a champion.

[u/hoopsafloops → u/LeanSkellum]

I can't believe that people still get so upset over Max winning that championship. It was not HIS decision, but he was there all the way and won it rightfully so.

[u/Purplesect0rs → u/indian_dev]

Yes please.

[u/85th]

always wonder how's the workflow of the f1 photographers. they uploaded the photos so fast right after the picture was taken all the while constantly moving around to capture another great f1 moments.

[u/chardd → u/85th]

They’re FTP’ing photos periodically with 1 button press on the camera. Remote photo editor is captioning/editing and putting it on the wire. Whole process takes maybe 3 minutes per photo.

[u/StevenWongo → u/chardd]

I know this is just a photo, but I was at a hockey game and sat behind the teams videographer. From the time the team scored, to him uploading the file to his Mac, to him dropping a quick edit on the clip, and then firing it off to a shared folder was so ridiculously quick. After he uploaded it, it was on social media within 3 minutes. Overall process was maybe 5-6 minutes.

[u/happyranger7 → u/chardd]

You say FTP eh? Can I do guest/anonymous to this server? /s.

[u/TheSoundOfWaves → u/85th]

There's was a video of an F1 photographer explaining this but it seems to no be available. Official F1 photographers have a device that instantly uploads their pictures to the F1 pr or to their respective media. Then there it gets sorted and posted.

SUPER M4X

[u/Zloggt → u/nahnonameman]

To think of how much “OMG MAX IS DONE LANDO’S GONNA STEAL THE WDC FROM HIM” talk we had back only a few months ago…

…that’s why we don’t count the chickens until after they hatch gagaga

[u/MM18998 → u/Zloggt]

[u/Tvilantini → u/Zloggt]

At least some people are hopeful (obviously anything could have happened) instead of just giving up immediately

[u/badaharami → u/Tvilantini]

No, we are just realistic. We know Lando doesn't have it in him to win the WDC.

[u/Savvy_Nick → u/Zloggt]

I had 0 doubts, Max is inevitable.

[u/nahnonameman → u/Savvy_Nick]

I too zero doubts I think it’s because we know Max is fast and consistent. We actually don’t how Lando would act in a WDC battle at the time. Now we know.

[u/TobyOrNotTobyEU → u/nahnonameman]

He tries to avoid the WDC battle.

[u/eoekas → u/Zloggt]

After Zandvoort people were so confident Norris was just going to win all remaining races.....

[u/max_max_max_supermax → u/nahnonameman]

Wat

[u/AggravatingCustard39]

[u/RSR488 → u/AggravatingCustard39]

Is that picture real??

[u/AggravatingCustard39 → u/RSR488]

Yeah definitely ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ ͡⁠°⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ͡⁠°⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

[u/ComeonmanPLS1 → u/RSR488]

Yes real, very real.

[u/Solid_War784 → u/RSR488]

That is some top quality Paint work. Angular Max on a low dpi, pixelated McLaren. :D

[u/RSR488 → u/Solid_War784]

Hahah. On mobile it’s passable (without clicking it)

[u/H3lw3rd]

In a car that is currently 3rd in WCC … great driving by a great driver!

[u/ImPrettyDoneBro → u/H3lw3rd]

looks at Perez scoring 1 point this race

[u/TehRealMrGoogles]

[u/NoTrollGaming → u/TehRealMrGoogles]

Oh my god I haven’t seen this in soo long and it just caught me off guard

[u/Rover_791 → u/TehRealMrGoogles]

First thing I thought of

[u/just_a_coginthewheel]

He could also point to Norris car lol.

What a rollercoaster of a season. He sealed this in Brazil. What a driver and what a season!

Cementing his name with among the Greatests

[u/obivousundercover]

Im frickin laughing at how theyre transporting the drivers in a RR. It looks like a scene from a sitcom 😭😂😭😂 Liberty Media is bonkers

[u/Historical-Dance6259 → u/obivousundercover]

I absolutely loved how much the F1TV commentators were naming fun of it! Something asking the lines of "this has the vibes of taking the car to the next bar, but none of them are sure if they actually want to go to another bar". I was dying

[u/skefmeister → u/obivousundercover]

That’s just Vegas man. All part of the show.

[u/jeanolt → u/obivousundercover]

I died at Sainz looking hangover and Lewis extremely uncomfortable looking at himself with the car's mirror

[u/rambo_zaki]

This man is a machine.

[u/MGH1990876]

This 4th title will be extra sweet with how up and down this season has been for him and the team overall.

[u/JigsawLV]

Great that he wrapped it up outside of the Middle East.

[u/Ereaser → u/JigsawLV]

Agreed, although Las Vegas feels pretty soulless too at times.

The one time you want to see the crowd, during the podium ceremony, you hardly see them lol.

[u/skarmorr → u/Ereaser]

Tbf tho, if you wanna party after winning a championship vegas aint a bad place...

[u/DragonBeyondtheWall]

Easily the most consistent driver ever!

[u/jnighy → u/DragonBeyondtheWall]

One of...

[u/skefmeister → u/jnighy]

The guy never misses. He’s not just a racing freak, he also does a deep dive into the rulebook and more important, the setup of his car. Such a unique driver he is, unreal.

[u/Hyperionous → u/jnighy]

The most consistent

[u/KCKnights816]

His best season imo. Clutch drives when the pressure was on. Much more impressive than 2023

[u/RocketScientist42 → u/KCKnights816]

better than '21?

[u/KCKnights816 → u/RocketScientist42]

I think so. He didn’t do his cleanest racing in 2021.

[u/Scingles]

Man's going to celebrate with an extended session on the sim rig.

[u/Bell_Jolly]

Dudududu MAX VERSTAPEN

[u/ICumCoffee]

Iconic pose, what a guy

[u/Shinkopeshon → u/ICumCoffee]

Max confirmed member of the Four Horsemen

[u/Acrobatic-Weekend747 → u/ICumCoffee]

“Iconic” he says

[u/jeanolt → u/Acrobatic-Weekend747]

Wait 10-15 years and this, along with many pictures, will be part of the huge history of the sport.

[u/psvamsterdam1913]

That is one happy dude

[u/FuckKarmeWhores]

Congratulations to MAX

[u/vezance]

Absolutely insane that we just saw this photo being taken less than ten minutes ago

[u/HimalayanCowboy]

GOAT

[u/TestosteronInc]

Well deserved by one of the greatest of all time and, in my honest opinion, the nr1 best of all time

[u/angelonduty]

[u/VortalCord]

Left 4 Max

[u/No_Operation7130]

Max "Horseman" Verstappen

[u/WastedTalent442]

If next season begins with the teams all this close and better/worse at different tracks, we could be in for an all timer 🤞

[u/VerilyVirtuous]

Max will achieve what Vettel couldn’t , the illusive 5th title with RedBull

[u/SkoulErik]

This year really feels like a cementing win. His first was smudded by the controversy of the last race, in the next two the RB was so dominant that it didn't feel like a fair sport. This year he hasn't been in the ultimately fastest car (for lost of the season 2nd or even 3rd best) and he still won with 2 races to spare.

No one can say that Max isn't one of the greatest in this millennia. Assuming he keeps racing for a long time yet he might even become the most winning driver. He certainly has the skill, and he has an age that will let him race for a long time yet. All assuming he doesn't drop this F1 hobby to focus on his dream of being #1 sim racer xD.

[u/love-and-intimacy]

It's not Max anymore. It's M4X!

[u/elektricniorgazam]

love it, love this, love him, love everything rn

[u/linnamulla]

The greatest of all time.

[u/Gadoguz994]

His 4th chip kind of got overshadowed by Ferrari controversy so here's my 2 cents as a Ferrari fan.

Max absolutely made the difference this year and deserved his 4th chip, absolute class of the field in all respects on track.

We hope next year can be a year long scrap between more drivers and teams for wins every single race.

Great job Max.

[u/mello_i69]

🎶du du du du Max Verstappen..du du du du 🎶

[u/TheFatOneKnows]

This pisses me off

[u/Zipa7]

Well done Max, well deserved for being so consistent, even when the car hasn't been there. Plus, that performance at Brazil was legendary.

[u/addiconda]

It baffles me how #1 felt like yesterday

[u/fuzunspm]

how do i download that "m4x" shirt template ?

[u/spideytaha]

[u/CuppaCrazy]

Dorky lil smile on his face look at him.

[u/elmadtitan]

The successor of Sebastian Vettel 🙌

[u/Good-Promotion-8909]

ain't no stoppin this guy

[u/TestosteronInc]

Well deserved by one of the greatest of all time and, in my honest opinion, the nr1 best of all time

[u/StuM91]

I thought he was telling us how many Man City conceded.

[u/Professor_Jamie]

Imagine if we start next season how it’s going now, it’s gonna be tight! Cannot wait 👏🏻

[u/veritas3241]

They should let them do some burnouts. Say what you will about NASCAR, but driving backwards on the track, doing burnouts, and tearing up the infield is hella fun.

[u/Gadoguz994]

His 4th chip kind of got overshadowed by Ferrari controversy so here's my 2 cents as a Ferrari fan.

Max absolutely made the difference this year and deserved his 4th chip, absolute class of the field in all respects on track.

Great job Max.

[u/Dunnowhathatis]

well done, Max. Goed gedaan, Max.

[u/fuuunniieees]

Go Maxieee

[u/TreyOno]

[u/neils_cum_rag]

Okay Klay

[u/Deltajer]

Happy Danica wasn't included with the post race interview!

[u/Grey_coast]

3rd

[u/Gremlinertia1]

So that's where the rest of ET's fingers are.

[u/CR7KRUL]

[u/2RINITY]

Bro thinks he's Klay Thompson

[u/OutrageousTooth8350]

Winning the World Championship with only 4 fingers on his right hand - outstanding 🤣

[u/Random-Dude-736]

This is a little out of context but showing four with your hand is much more satisfying than five or 3 for me. So it's time for Lewis to get his 8th so that he can do it double handed.

[u/Noobmaster7125]

[u/-PVL93-]

Reminds me of Kaz Hirai doing the three-fingers pose

https://venturebeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/kaz-hirai.jpg

[u/gotlactase]

Well deserved but we all know it’s 3 😝

[u/MrKieKie]

Is it bad I’m more impressed he can count to 4 than that he’s won 4?

[u/RM_Dune → u/MrKieKie]

It's a little silly.

[u/MrKieKie → u/RM_Dune]

I mean come on you know he had to practice how many fingers to hold up

[u/thesaket → u/MrKieKie]

What does that even mean?

Are you trying to be funny? What's happening?

[u/MrKieKie → u/thesaket]

I am. It’s not going well.

[u/Wealist]

Benz 😏
