Max Verstappen

[Scott]

I thought it was about time we simply start a thread on him.

So the latest out of Monza is MV's response to yet another current or former driver criticizing what they perceive as dangerous on track
moves by Max.

This one gets ugly...

Typical silver spoon jerk.He goes past arrogant and shows
a total lack compassion for human life.Who knows maybe
he sold his soul for his fame and he'll have to pay one day.

I was impressed with Max when he first moved up to RBR. Now, not so much, and even less with every race & certainly every time he opens his mouth. I just hope that he's starting far enough back that he can't wipe out any of the top 4 at the first chicane.

I'm no fan of either driver, but if Verstappen did actually say that and the quote hasn't been 'jazzed up', he is out of order.  I watched the 2001 Australian Grand Prix live, and that collision between Villeneuve and Ralf Schumacher was very serious and pieces of both cars flew everywhere.  That is not something a driver should be held accountable for.

I feel that the governing bodies need to take responsibility as they have justified what he did and Charlie having a word in his "shell like" does not go far enough!
The current regulations are confusing for drivers let alone us fans so they really need to be clear on rules and make it simple so everyone understands.

Turning into a bit of a loose canon is Max, I hope some action is taken before a serious accident occurs
 As far as JV is concerned I remember that accident and can't see how the marshals death can be attributed to him. The wheel, as far as I can rememberl went through a gap only slightly bigger than the wheel itself, an unbelievable set of circumstances.

Max is throwing a tantrum. He's tired of experienced drivers telling him to behave, so he's throwing his toys off the high chair. I think he's right that the FIA is afraid to penalize him because he brings "new excitement" to F1.

It's funny they weren't afraid to get on Maldo or Grosjean
when they were driving dangerously.Max has a punching face to me

I mentioned in a previous thread that Max would probably end up in the NASCAR Truck Series. This is how they handle drivers like him:

[Scott]

Hehe

You've gotta show the "why"  This was an insanely dirty move to take the win...the Haas truck was pinned against the armco by Nemechek.  Namechek deserves more than just a little tackle.

Yeah, but in NASCAR that's considered "Just Racin'"
