The best part is the free shipping to the US, which totally caught me off guard. Probably going to get dinged on import duty, though.

Also I was going to pay $70 and I was ok with that but then after checkout I look on my card and it says it was only like $55 real dollars. Win win.

I want classic lovely cars in F1 2017. Like the Andrea Moda, Mastercard Lola, Earth Honda, and the BAR 01. Call it the F1 Rejects Expansion Pack.

Or at least the option to run the BAR 01's livery as my helmet design in career mode.

Introducing Perry McCarthy Mode, where you try desperately to qualify with a broken steering arm or not to stall at pit exit.

Or a Burnout-esque minigame where you attempt to do more damage than Villeneuve and Zonta at Eau Rouge.

quote:

In 1996,[30] Verstappen married Belgian ex-kart driver champion[31] Sophie Kumpen, whose cousin is NASCAR Whelen Euro Series racing driver Anthony Kumpen, and whose uncle is former motocross and GT endurance rally driver Paul Kumpen. Verstappen and Sophie Kumpen have two children, Max (b. 1997) and Victoria (b. 1999), both of whom have gone on to become racing drivers.[32] In December 2008, with the couple effectively separated, Verstappen appeared in court in Tongeren, Belgium, charged with assaulting his wife.[33] He was found innocent of assault, but guilty of threatening Kumpen in text messages and of violating a previously issued restraining order. He was fined and sentenced to three months probational, suspended prison sentence.[34]

After a 1998 incident in a karting track, in which a man suffered a fractured skull, Verstappen and his father were found guilty in court of assault but were each sentenced to five-year suspended sentence after reaching an out-of-court settlement with the victim.[35]

On 29 November 2011, the media reported allegations that Verstappen had assaulted his ex-girlfriend; Verstappen claimed to only have had a discussion with her.[36] In January 2012, he was arrested on attempted murder charges following accusations that he drove a car into his ex-girlfriend in Roermond,[37] but released two weeks later, after the charge was withdrawn.[38] Verstappen and his ex-girlfriend got back together and got married in 2014. They have one daughter, named Blue Jaye, born in September 2014.[39]

Jay-sus Christ I had no idea about the attempted murder charges holy poo poo Max must have had one traumatic childhood. No wonder he's so good so young he's just channeling all that built up rage towards Jos and watching him land blow after blow on Sophie Kumpen like the savage loving maniac he is that piece of poo poo. Max is out to destroy Jos and he'll do that by becoming world champion and dedicating it to his mom while spilling all the hatred out on the podium interview.

Poor Max.

Has Jos ever been convicted of anything? Both the charges against women didn't go anywhere and if you're going to judge him for wanting to punch a karting Dad in the head you should head down to your local kart track sometime

But, I do pick up on an aggression in him. You can see it in his eyes.

This one is great you can really see the concentration in Max's eyes. That thousand yard stare as his mom cries on the floor with Max hiding under the bed with Jos taking off his belt screaming at her Sophie. In fact, they made a Netflix show about it and recreated the entire scene from Max's journals.

Yep I saw that one too and agree the way Max is staring off really looks like silent hate. Just sick of his bullshit. But that's just drawing conclusions from a youtube video and they're dutch, so me trying to interpret a family dynamic from a totally different culture just from youtube videos probably isn't fair.

A reminder that Max is only 19 years old. Watching these videos are making me into a huge Max fan now. He's such a relaxed kid just enjoying his time and seeking to utterly crush his piece of poo poo woman beating murdering garbageman dad Jos The Boss (why did you make me hit you why) Verstappen

Jos never won a race, Max topped that on his debut drive for a top team

I'm going back and which of Jos's cars were actually good.. probably his first drive in the 94 Benetton

After a crash in pre-season testing by regular driver JJ Lehto (who broke a vertebra), Verstappen drove in the first two races of the season as a substitute, partnering Michael Schumacher and made his Formula One debut at the 1994 Brazilian Grand Prix.[2] During the race he collided with Eddie Irvine, which triggered a multiple accident also involving Éric Bernard and Martin Brundle. Verstappen's car somersaulted, but he emerged unharmed.[2] At the Pacific Grand Prix Verstappen ran 6th but spun off on cold tyres immediately after a pit stop.[2] Lehto was fit for the next race at Imola, but his performances in subsequent races were disappointing and he was rested by Benetton following the Canadian Grand Prix, allowing Verstappen to return to the race seat.[2].


yeah, I think Max has already proven himself over his Dad. Man, we read some of those earlier stories where Jos would berate Max for racing 'stupidly' and that story of when he went off in the final because of a dumb accident and Jos wouldn't load his kart in the van. Talk about kettle calling pot black, but perhaps Jos is identifying what held him back and wants to make sure his son doesn't make the same mistakes.

combined with "well his kid is successful, I guess that's what it takes", is one of the predominant attitudes allowing sports parents around the globe to get away with major child abuse.

I guess, but with any evidence or convictions or anything aren't we all just making poo poo up?

I mean I agree, look at some of the pics when Jos was racing. He does look like a crazy motherfucker. But as I said, he's Dutch. Maybe lots of people walk around there looking like that. My experience with Dutch people is they are very serious, I once had a boss that was going to send me to a Dutch client and said 'remember, the Dutch were traders. They don't gently caress around. Be careful'. It's like saying every Finn is autistic or something because they're not as outgoing and charismatic as an Alonso or Vettel. It's just how they are and I'm sure they're probably thinking you're an over-the-top idiot who gets too emotional about stuff.
