GOOD TIMES ON METH

I think a lot of people upset about this are newer viewers that are used to team sports and don't understand F1 teammates are rivals you are forced to take marketing pictures with. Drivers are generally obligated to help the team maximize points when possible but, unless they are told they are the #2 driver at signing, their responsibility ends there. Sort of funny to watch the broadcasters all initially shrug about it yesterday and see reddit in a boiling rage about today

Max is almost certainly a twat because he is an F1 driver and they are all pricks. Lewis Hamilton has correct political views but he is absolutely a twat. Vettel was a notorious rear end in a top hat until he went to poo poo and stopped caring.

The greater the driver, the bigger an rear end in a top hat he is. Senna, Schumacher - absolute scumbags, Mike Hawthorn was a huge piece of poo poo taking great pleasure in teammate Luigi Musso dying in a crash and so on. They are all pricks, every single one of them, even the one you like.

e: except Lance, he is genuinely nice

Even Senna and Schumacher moved to let their teammates pass and get a better position at times.

The hilarity here is max just couldn't couldn't let this go in the most benign circumstances, couldn't make himself look like a team player in the slightest, couldn't even just keep his mouth shut and pretend he didn't hear, instead had to blow this up in the dumbest way possible.

Especially to replace him with a dude who has 0 podiums in 800 years in F1

Well he was better than Hulk last time Hulk actually had a regular drive, but yeah think everyone but Ricciardo thinks the same thing about not taking that spot.

It's gonna get real spicy when Checo knows his time is coming to an end and he has no reason to do anything the team asks to help Max. Red Bull is in a position now where they have to surprise-fire Checo to avoid this situation. So nothing new for them....lmao.

Max is a dickhead so anything he does is a dick move. That includes winning WDC.

Also I presume you get a lot more $ for being p2 vs p3 in WDC.

The real fun next race is gonna be merc vs. ferrari with now only 20pts between the teams....

I think Sky mentioned 2nd v 3rd in the CC is 12 million US Funbucks. I don't think there's any money in the WDC.

He did, but under duress. He kept claiming he was unfit and his leg was still not ready, until he got busted playing a footy game...

Schumacher tended to have little regard for his teammate, I know he asked once why he should help Barrichello, because "...what had Rubens ever done for him?"

That’s because Lance doesn’t want to be an f1 driver

Lance is a very nice guy unless you try to pass him and then he will literally try to kill both you and himself.

I made a (terrible) post a couple months ago about how Max had grown up and it was time for Worst Thread participants to give him another chance. People reasonably pointed out that it is easy to look magnanimous when you are running away with a championship, so the true test for Max would come when things got difficult.

But we actually didn't need to wait that long at all. For no reason other than being a petty little conspiracy minded twerp, Max was more than happy to make his teammate's fight for second just a little harder. WDC locked up? Check Team got the WCC squared away? Check. gently caress over Checo the one time you get a chance to help him out and already promised you would? Awww hell yeah.

Look - we need to have a stiff upper lip about this Black Death business.

I also find it very funny that some Max fans can't come to grips that he's a tremendous rear end in a top hat. The entire sport is full of tremendous assholes!

He's clearly a very good driver and ran away with the championship - he's also a big dickhead! It's OK! A lot of really good, really fun people to watch in sports are enormous cunts! You don't have to also pretend like he's somehow a good person!
