Didn’t sound like he‘s in the car in 25..but it’s his decision? Has anyone at RB listen to his interviews?

yep! i get that people don’t like max but i don’t think anyone could argue that he isn’t honest or isn’t afraid to express his viewpoint. he’s usually very consistent too so i would get that george apparently NOT being consistent winds him up.

i really want to know what’s happened though as (like in the clip bla’s posted above) he’s very obviously talking ABOUT an exact incident without giving much detail and is clearly really annoyed about it.

(look at those two adorable work colleagues who STILL DO NOT FOLLOW EACH OTHER ON INSTAGRAM. charles even tagged max in his photo last week, hit the follow button mate they drive me crazy)

we also can‘t forget that George is one of the driver bit president, so maybe they clashed during the meetings & bits before

but think max is pretty right in the George characterization

he’s elaborated a bit more as the conference has gone on but it seems to be about george’s role in him getting that grid penalty and how george played it (which i guess also comes into gp making that “karma” comment on the radio if they think george overstepped the line). i need more details!

So the big question - will there be a driver dinner and if, is Estie & Jack invited and how far apart are max and George placed at the long table?

I can totally imagine George fighting passionately for nothing to the extent of crossing the line because he was angry he did not get the pole after Vegas skyrocketed his confidence over the roof.

He is good at arguing but he has a tendency to be overconfident and patronising. He might reflect Toto who is bitter about Lewis leaving and still praises him to show a polite face but at the same time you can see bitterness that sometimes shows as a dig towards Lewis like that shelf life comment that he tried to take back

As I said, I do not love Max, he is not an angel and he can be a bully on track, but he is predictable and consistent and doesn't care about being seen as a good boy only and that is what I actually appreciate.

as i have always said about george, he has the rosberg gene! the vibe is there! he’s got amazing media training but every so often you see (like you say) a little comment or incident where you can see it. and i absolutely agree that, to the other drivers, he probably can come across as patronising sometimes. lewis for one never appears to have fully vibed with him.

he and max are two personalities that seem destined to clash so i’m just amazed it hasn’t happened before. i know all the drivers tell on each other or go on the radio to report stuff and we joke about how george does it but i wonder what exactly he did where max thinks he’s crossed the line (taking into account that max very rarely thinks he’s in the wrong 🤣)

It is interesting cos as you say, we know full well from team radios that every single one of those drivers would tattle on their own grandma if it helped them get a better result in the race, so yeah, what exactly it is that George said/did that Max thinks is bigger than that and means he's as angry as he seems.

Not that I don't also think George is a tit stirrer or in any way innocent of course. Definitely agree with him having Rosberg vibes and wondering what happens if his new teammate out performs him.

Go Max! I’m sure George is shady AF!

SHADY seems to be the case:



i still feel like there’s more to it but this does seem slightly two-faced of george. just be honest and say what you actually mean! i kinda get where max is coming from if he feels like george played it down but was secretly always planning to make a bigger deal out of it. i feel like most of the other drivers would have said it outright.
