Side note, and this is really pathetic on my part, but but I've warmed to Max recently.
First race back after the summer break, they showed all the drivers arriving to the race. There was the usual garb from many wearing outlandish shit, although George Russell was clearly the worst. Looked like an absolute penis.
Max & Carlos Sainz were the winners. Jeans, backpack, team shirt, cap. All business.
Sad, I know, but put them up in my esteem.

Don’t like verstappen. Every team message during the race is him having a whinge.

Yes he does come across was a whiny bitch. Not a surprise that he has teamed up with Horner who is cut from the same cloth.

He's ramped it up this weekend. Fucking whinging fluffybunny. Just had a clear run down a straight with two cars pulled over right out of his way and he radios that there's idiots everywhere right in the way.
I didn't used to mind him but he can fuck off and lose the championship.

So Liam Lawson finally going to get a go it seems.
Still rumours, but touch wood
Yep. Hate wanting anyone to do badly but hope all of the Red Bull and RB drivers shit the bed ( esp Riccardo but he’ll probably win the bloody thing and get a reprieve!).

@Machpants Riccardo known for doing “shoeys”?

Any twt that drinks out of a sweaty shoe does not deserve respect, IMO
Poor guy having to forgo your respect to have a little fun while earning millions doing a fucking cool job. I hope they don't tell him at the same time as they sack him.

The pressure hes feeling from Norris currently might be getting to him. The whinge factor is increasing and he’s threatening to throw his toys out of the pram.

I'm actually with Max on this one. Which has me in the same camp as the other drivers.
The stewards are getting ahead of themselves here & trying to turn the drivers into robots. Thats not what anybody wants to watch. He said his car performance had been shit & then he gets told he needs to accomplish some work of public interest?
What does that even mean? People want to watch high energy, high octane, exciting racing. They want to see pissed off drivers trash something, want to hear controversial statements.
It's been a great season, but there has been a little bit of a feel of too much control by the overlords IMHO.

@MajorRage
Oh I agree that it is overreach by the stewards and is indicative of the way the sport is being pushed at the moment but that does not detract from (IMO) that Verstappen is A. Feeling the pressure and B. A whiny bitch.

My comments re Red Bull were merely because I want Lawson to get a drive, not really related to Max at all, more Riccardo really. If Perez goes too, it opens it all up a bit more (and then there's Max / Jos). Don't know what will happen with Yuki, not much probably.

I suppose Yuki brings money from Japan, just as Perez brings money from Mexico. It also made sense while RB are powered by Honda. When that changes, who knows?
They will either need to give Lawson a drive or let him go. Judging from Ricciardo's body language I think he's done. Off to Indycar next year

Impossible not to feel sad for him as he seems a genuinely nice guy, but he's performing worse than Yuki.

@antipodean I note he refrained from swearing and he's doing it a helluva lot tougher than Max...
