And Verstappen is significantly less popular than Hamilton (and pretty much any other recent champions). Dominance is boring but it’s even more boring when the champion is not that popular.
Max Emilian Verstappen born 30 September 1997 is a Belgian-Dutch racing driver. 2021, 2022 and 2023 World Drivers Champion. He competes under the Dutch flag in Formula One with Red Bull Racing. Aged 17 years, 166 days, he became the youngest driver to compete in Formula 1 at the 2015 Australian Grand Prix for Scuderia Toro Rosso.
When's Ricciardo was leaving Red Bull, max Verstappen and him did an interview together. Max was asked if he was going to miss Daniel. His reply was along the lines of "No, he is not leaving he is just going further back". Haven't been able to find a link for it now though.
Max Verstappen is rapidly moving through the ranks, he has now won 12 of the last 16 races, that is 75% of the races! After the Miami GP he currently sits on 38 wins, which is 3 wins away from Senna, 13 from Prost and 15 from Vettel. If he and Red Bull keep this consistency of winning 3 in 4 - which they probably will - then he will need ‘just’ 20 races to equal Vettel’s win tally of 53 ...

Yet Verstappen somehow survived 51g, and apparently F1 recorded even higher g's during crashes in its history. So either F1 measures g's differently, or Verstappen is not a human.
Sure, you know better than Max fucking Verstappen. He’s also not the only pro driver who has said ACC doesn’t have realistic physics. Reply reply Adept-Recognition764 •• Edited
Verstappen got caught up in it and ran into one of the the cars standing sideways and blocking the whole track. I dislike Jos Verstappen just as much as the next guy, but I'm not so blinded by hatred to blame him for every crash he was involved in.
But as a casual, I can say that swiping on tik tok I see way more Alonso, Vettel, Schumacher, Hamilton, and others than I do Verstappen. I think the only thing about Max I've seen is him choosing to be risky near the end of a race against his team's strategy to get fastest lap. Okay, I guess?
