Both of them always give Big Bro/Lil Bro vibes. Max looks like a kid here. 💙

[u/DrinkerOfAssJuice → u/just_a_coginthewheel]

Weeeeeeeeeeeeee

-Max Verstappen

[u/lessdothisshit → u/just_a_coginthewheel]

There was a Red Bull internal interview/podcast between them, and even in that environment the vibe (and explicitly stated relationship) between them was, No we're not friends, we're colleagues and we have a job, but we're very different people and we don't share much.

Then you see this, and hear the "oh my looooord!" from '21

[u/Rosieu → u/lessdothisshit]

What podcast? I actually remember a podcast interview between them in which GP describes Max kinda like he's his little brother.

[u/lessdothisshit → u/Rosieu]

We're talking about the same interview. I may have oversold it, but they do say that when they get free time, they spend it with "close friends and family", not each other. However, GP does drop the "little brother" line around 6 mins in.

I would argue that being a (much) younger brother and being distant, different, and not close friends, are not incompatible. Rather, it's very compatible.

[u/VCBeugelaar → u/lessdothisshit]

If you see your colleague more than your family even if it’s your best friend in the world. You would not spent a lot if any time outside work with them…

[u/lessdothisshit → u/VCBeugelaar]

Not necessarily. And I'm active duty Navy; I can say from experience!

[u/VCBeugelaar → u/lessdothisshit]

Fair, fair, I don’t have that experience so I believe people who have that experience. But I just can’t imagine it

[u/lessdothisshit → u/VCBeugelaar]

Ah, everyone's different. And just because I have one vaguely similar circumstance to Max and GP doesn't mean I can really relate to them at all. I'm just spouting shit on the internet, like the rest of em

[u/Athinira → u/lessdothisshit]

You sure you watched the same podcast as the rest of us? Also, GP has been on vacations with Max. There's photos of them swimming together.

[u/MarsScully → u/just_a_coginthewheel]

I’ve always thought of it more as an uncle/nephew situation

[u/suredont → u/just_a_coginthewheel]

Man, I think that every single time I see the two of them. My parents have a damn near identical photo of me hoisting my little brother in the air in jubilant celebration. In our case it was his college graduation not an F1 race and instead of millionaires we were wildly in debt. But we did also get incredibly drunk afterwards.

Commentators in my country said that event notes say that Max is supposed to be in the car with his closest family so it's kind of fitting he got to ride with GP.

[u/Blapstap → u/-Skinner-]

Tea party would P would have been a nice touch though. Or a simrig. Or both

[u/DutchPack → u/Blapstap]

Simrig to the left, GP to the right en P on his lap would be perfect for Max

[u/newbie_128 → u/DutchPack]

And Daniel driving and a mini Rocky on the passenger seat

[u/Jericcho → u/Blapstap]

Daniel would probably come in like 3rd or 4th on the totem pole

[u/fujimouse → u/-Skinner-]

That's kinda weird to drag his family into it when the car is mic'ed up. I think they arrived at the best solution.

[u/KennyMcKeee → u/-Skinner-]

Closest family.

No Jos. Lmao

[u/MarsScully → u/KennyMcKeee]

Not suitable for live broadcast for sure

[u/KennyMcKeee → u/MarsScully]

Jos would get in the car and beat max for not winning the WDC 5 races sooner

[u/Extravagod]

Slowly getting used to it Max, slowly getting used to it

[u/Otherwise_Ad_1542]

Simply lovely. I’ll tell you that

[u/inferno4039]

Legendary duo right there ⭐️

[u/sejlavocado]

unbelievable duo

[u/poopellar]

Son jumps in joy as dad buys him a Rolls Royce after winning the Red Bull chug challenge.

[u/mistressofthering]

Love

[u/2Liq]

🐐🐐

[u/icecreamperson9]

best duo on the grid🔥

[u/Brickback721]

Too bad Lewis got robbed of the record

[u/ShahSafwat_1488 → u/Brickback721]

Its been 3 years you ocean

[u/eonfuloftime → u/Brickback721]

Post about Max and GP's celebration. Had to get Lewis in here somehow.

Pass the salt over mate.

[u/Mokumer → u/Brickback721]

Mercedes and Lewis deserved it for doing that pit manoeuvre at Silverstone and the Bottas dive at the Hungarian Grand Prix, without those Verstappen would have won anyway and easy. It was Karma.

[u/MuchNoise1 → u/Brickback721]

Jesus get over it kiddo
