some of u don’t get how funny max is. he held his own press conference RIGHT OUTSIDE of the room. then, an fia employee told him to leave and go to the TV pen instead. he said “fine, we’ll do it on our way to there then.” and just held his own SECOND mini press conference outside! (which also wasn’t allowed!!!)
INT: Orange of course is the colour here but orange is also very dangerous right now behind you, how difficult is it beating and being a lot faster than McLaren?
MV: [gestures to crowd] yeah but this is the good orange, the one behind me [McLaren] is ugly, so it's okay we'll deal with that.
Stella: if you don't address these things [Max's behaviour] honestly, they will come back. They have come back today because they were not addressed properly in the past when there was some fights with Lewis [Hamilton] that needed to be punished in a harsher way.
I have absolutely no idea what I did to get this on my TikTok For You page, but it legitimately made me cackle and I figured TBITB fandom would enjoy it as well since it's crew-related XD
he was and he is my hero (2013) / for me valentino has been and continues to be ... a reference for any driver (2024) / (2023) / (2013) / six #ranch pictures in four days on marc's instagram (2014) / that snake uccio (2016) / next year you'll race with rossi whose motorcycles you collect? (2012) / (2015) / (2012) / (2022) / it could have been a coincidence that the photo was taken at that time or perhaps placed there on purpose, knowing that the photo would be shared (2018)
charles: m-me and max are friends. 100%. pls believe me 🥺
seb: fernando didnt congratulate me after i won so i told bild that he told me to go fuck myself. also i stole his ferrari seat. i dont know why he doesnt like me. i once tried to stick a flagpole in his rectum
To be totally fair, we have to note that Seb wasn't quoted in the article where Bild claimed that Fernando said "fuck you, my boy" after Monza 2011, but the link is here:
As for the teammate situation...that was Mark and Nando. After Multi-21 happened in Malaysia 2013, Mark and Fernando shared a picture of themselves having dinner together in Dubai. Well, just to be extra, Fernando tweeted it with the caption "dinner with friends" and then deleted it, but Mark retweeted it before Nando took it down. The DRAMZ my friend.
And a ton of F1 news outlets seized on the photo as evidence of "mind games" and "scheming." Seb's response when he was asked if he'd seen the photo of them was (of course, because he's a smartarse) "what's the big deal? Were they naked?" And then something like "we all have to eat and it's boring to eat alone. I'm just glad I wasn't invited." Mark said the journalists should be looking for other work if this was all they had to write about. Someone asked Mark who paid and he said "you'd have to ask Fernando." So that was a whole thing.
THEN, in the cooldown room after a race (can't remember which race but some time Mark, Seb and Nando were on the podium) Seb literally asked the two of them "so are you guys together or what?" (That's what I meant by Seb trying to out his teammate and Nando - obvs am kidding but then so was Seb. As usual).
I love Seb, but in his RBR days he was a pure menace.
“You’d think he was raised in a lab for success, and there’s no doubt that Max was forged in the fire of a family quite literally geared towards accomplishment”
There’s so much I want to say on this topic but I’ll be here all day.
