Poll: Singapore Grand Prix 2022, Marina Bay Street Circuit - Race 17

[muon]

Max was on for pole so I'm not sure what people expect him to do when his team pull him in when he's a corner away from the front row, sing a song perhaps?

Is that how he would speak to Christian Horner to his face?

 

[Feek]

Haters gonna hate. Even with warnings in the OP we STILL have posters here using name calling. Says it all really.

Where’s the name calling? I’ve just been through and can’t find any instances at all.

Are we really going to have race conditions vs standing around doing f all conversation again?

I feel should always have some class without need to respond like that I know he doesn't care but would show him and Redbull in better light just my thoughts

So is it just him or do you hold other drivers to the same standard?

Everyone but he just sticks out known to respond to team like that just feel it's disrespectful

The team are doing the best they can and for reasons and this is like the best team on the grid in all regards

Have some respect to his team? Trust his team? I am sure there are more but those are the ones that spring to mind.

You mean like Charles or Hamilton when they've screamed down the radio?

Duration isn't as long

 

[uscool]

Be interesting how max gets through the field this time

 

[.:MBK:.]

the rage is understandable, especially given the team don't want to broadcast the why. Not much for you to process is there and that leaves anger and frustration.

 

[Jimbeam3678]

Agreed, applies to them as well. Show some respect and be courteous to your team mates. Seems to be more frequent with Max though do you not agree?

 

[uscool]

Imagine max was at Ferrari lmao

 

[Feek]

A much more grown up reaction from Max in the pen than we’d have had last year. Still not happy but not coming across as petulant has he has before. He’s learning.

 

[Kenai]

LOL

No wonder he was raging, they told him to abort the lap before to go again, then told him last moment he had to abort and box that lap.

When your boss tells you to do something you don’t want to do, do you react like Max or accept it and debrief afterwards? I know what I’d do, unless I wanted to be fired. He’s (supposedly) a professional. If the team are telling him to do something out of the ordinary he should know they have their reasons. I’m not saying it’s not his place to question it (it’s a team game afterall), but reactions like that are just embarrassing. It’s qualifying, in a mid season race, in a championship he’s already won. It’s hardly the final lap of the final race.

In DTS didn’t they have a whole bit about Yuki going to anger management classes for his outbursts? Max definitely needs similar.

 

[Junglist]

I give drivers a bit of a pass for angry outbursts. They're pumped full of adrenaline and under pressure. Lord knows I say worse when driving at 20mph in traffic.

And this is coming from someone who thinks Max is a gigantic knob.

Is there any need for the name calling / insults?

I just think he's a bit of a knob. I'm not calling him names or insulting him. If anything I'm defending him by saying his outburst is a storm in a tea cup.
