    15:28 It was extremely telling that he didn't just say NO to the team order, he actually changed their mind by showing he was faster. After the race many people expected him to get reprimanded for ignoring the team order, but instead the team backed him up publicly stating Max made the right call by ignoring the team order. It proved how strong minded and confident in his own ability he already was and the team fully acknowledged him.

    This is why I think people who dismiss him for winning just 1 championship in 8 years are just being ignorant. Every other driver spends 2-4 years in junior car racing before coming to F1. Even Hamilton had 5 years of open wheel car racing before his 2007 debut. By the time Verstappen was winning F1 races, other drivers are preparing to start F2.
    He basically had his junior career in F1.

There are so many young drivers now that are doing amazing things in these cars, and I like that the teams are seeing the wisdom in getting these guys while they still have plenty of prime years left in them. From the perspective of a middle-aged man, if you're good, your age simply does not factor in. It's making the sport so much more interesting, and I hope guys like Verstappen, Norris, and Leclerc are around for a very long time.

He had many mistakes but he was super young and restless but his race craft is unique. .

With the ferrari, you can set the fastest lap with how much speed they can carry through corners, but it is harder to pass with the lack of straight line speed compared to RB. Therefore, when max gets ahead, he will stay ahead, and it is easier for him to pass if he gets a perfect exit from a corner with the straight line speed. The battle is all about keeping the RB out of DRS. Max just hasn’t made as many errors this season so far as charles, but I’m sure that will turn around and hope to see a close title fight.

      I became a new fan last year and was drawn to Red Bull for the exact same reasons. Max is FIERCE. I’ve watched all the races back to 2007 now (when I find a sport to cheer for, I COMMIT lol) and F1 was turning into a gentleman’s sport where you passed either on the DRS straights or with the pit strategy. Max nearly single handedly brought back ferocious wheel to wheel racing, and now the cars match his style!
      He’s been in beast mode this year and would be far ahead had it not been for his car deciding to go on strike…twice. And Checo is a fantastic driver and teammate but people forget he’s also got a race more than Max completed due to less reliability problems, so you have to look harder at the data to see just how strong Max is this year. I think he’s even stronger than last year and he will win the championship as long as his reliability issues are done with.

    Max, and I truly feel this doesn’t get appreciated enough in the media except Alonso mentioning this, made F1 fun to watch during the Mercedes era. His aggressive driving style got demoted and criticized, I say BOLLOCKS that is what racing is and should be all about. Making your car 5 yards wide and defending every inch of racetrack for dear life is what Senna was all about, we hail Ayrton for and slam Max in the dirt for. He truly made F1 fun in a era where hybrid took all fun and spectacle and turned it down to about “2”.

    At the age of 24, Max is already by a huge margin the best F1 racing driver ever under the Dutch flag.
    But also growing up here in Holland. Max to me seems just like all the other kids I know growing up here, whom some might enjoy sports and gaming ... and be gawddamn competitive about all of it, while trying to have fun doing it and make a job out of it and what makes you wanna come out the bed for every single day at whatever time necessary doing whatever necessary to keep it going and see where it goes.

Max is mentally incredibly strong, especially knowing the fact that he entered F1 when he was 17 and how many opinions from so many people, positive or negative, have been about him and about his driving style. Personally, I believe he is extremely talented and surrounded with the right people protecting him and providing him with a fast car. Hence, I honestly believe he will become very successful. I just hope he will also do Indy500 and LeMans. Racing is much more than just F1…

    The fact that Red Bull put max in their factory Red Bull RB12 which was the 3rd fastest car of 2016 f1 season with max being only 18 years old gave him plenty of time to adjust with Red Bull f1 cars and fight for the championship whenever Red Bull comes up with a fast car and that's exactly what happened in 2021 now max has enough experience to win championship in fast cars and claim at least a podium with slow cars in the turbo hybrid era an era where racing is very distant and overtaking almost impossible in some circuits and f1 cars's performance playing an even bigger and significant role than before is truly a supreme stat
