You're more likely to get Lando Norris in the second seat tbh.

He's basically Max's best friend and a talent RB would love to have, and Norris is having trouble getting a podium in McLaren and with how shit their development is going, I would not be surprised to see him leaving.

You can tell Alonso is so proud of Max, and was absolutely gutted he wasn't able to finish the lap.

Alonso has always rooted for Max, even defending him when people said he was too young to be in F1.

You really can't hate Alonso, I'm not sure if anyone saw his documentary on Prime, but it made me respect him more, and how much he loves racing.

He went to LeMans, won, then placed high in a Baja Rally and tried to do IndyCar.

According to several sources Verstappen's stamina is impressive.

When he goes into 'beast mode' he keeps going on and on (karts, simulators or cars on track).

First thing he usually does after coming home: racing for several hours straight on his simulator at home.

The man is a champion in every facet of life.

I love how people have the audacity to criticize Jos or feel "sorry" for Max's childhood. I'm sure Max wishes he was a basement dwelling loser who never succeeded at anything in life like those folks too.

It's well-documented that Jos ain't no saint: hot temper, messy divorce, court orders. But Max maintained a good relationship with both his parents.

In an interview Max told the story about Jos briefly abandoning him (karting kid) at a fuel station somewhere in Europe because he considered that Max had not performed as wished. The idea of "we're on the same team" and "be comitted because all this costs lots of money".

But you can understand from many sources that Max never felt pushed to race against his will. He spent countless hours on karting circuits because he genuinely loves racing, rain or no rain.

The eyes have it, very rare Fernie looks like that.

He went to LeMans, won, then placed high in a Baja Rally and tried to do IndyCar.
Interview by Coulthard the day after Verstappen's first WDC in 2021 (Dec 9, 2021).

Max discloses his bromance with Alonso ("really good friendship"), the F1 driver that inspires him + he hopes that someday Alonso gets a competitive car ("I would like to see him back at the front - he really deserves it").

Looks like that someday has arrived this season. Looking forward to Max-Fernie battles on track this year.

You could be right. Norris and Verstappen get along very well.

Spot on . You nailed it ...

I really wonder how such a track can be according to the FIA safety regulations ..

Probably by piles of cash

Fred's on the warpath...who's next, I hope he's got replacements or Ferrari is going down the tubes with the 'broom' being too big. I did say before Mattia was the friendliest and the changes could have been done gradually.

The changes to the track concern moving barriers to give drivers more visibility.
