When Marko gave Max a bollocking for worrying F1 overtake
« on: August 18, 2024, 01:06:31 PM »
Helmut read riot act to young Max for unbelievable move around the outside of Blanchimont at Spa in his first year in F1.

Thought it was only under 2 year olds that have no proper concept of fear so either Max is a late developer in that dept, or more likely hadn't really calculated risk v reward factor properly.  :swoon:

It was some feat though, but even Max agrees he wont be doing it again.  :D

I would imagine going from a lower series to an F1 car, with the massive increase of acceleration, grip and breaking, a driver might feel like a god who can accomplish anything.

As much as I enjoyed hating on young and reckless Max, he's not the first rookie to do things that 'seasoned' racers know is crazy.  Which is probably why F1 is trying to stop other ultra young drivers from joining the sport!
