Do you have any other reason to hate on Max? Genuine question and don't give me the Franz Hermann bs because it's been confirmed by many sources that the organisers there ASKED him for an authentic german name. What would he have gotten out of naming himself after a Nazi Police figure? Also not to mention he didn't initially come up with it there was another person there who recommended the name when he heard what Max was trying to do. Also don't mention the whole racist thing with his FIL because he SAID it wasn't right and also how he would never condone racism etc.
(This is all coming from someone who's favourite driver is Lewis since 2018)
i have several reasons to hate on max, actually! a major one being people like you who excuse everything he does and add a lil "i like lewis" disclaimer at the end :)
"what would he have gotten out of naming himself after a nazi police figure" bro idk you tell me? i don't claim to know the inner workings of his mind. at best it's an idiotic name chosen by an idiot who doesn't know how to use google, at worst it's a nazi dogwhistle, and neither option reflects well on max.
"it wasn't right but nelson isn't a racist" in what world is someone using homophobic and racist language not a racist??
he is racist. period, full stop. he can say all he wants that he doesn't condone racism but the way he and his team treated lewis says more than enough. might i remind you he didn't take the knee either.
the way he races lewis harder than he does others even when they're not fighting also adds to the evidence of him being racist.
he's used slurs and doubled down on his choices when an entire nation called him out. another source. and another one!
stood by horner during the sexual harassment case and told him to punch any reporter that asked him about it
when asked the best thing he bought with his money, he responded "my girlfriend" but i know none of you actually take misogyny seriously lol
throws a tantrum when booed but when lewis is booed "he should close his ears and not listen"
the fact that he literally can't drive wheel to wheel and would rather kill an opponent than let them pass aka he cannot drive clean no matter what
the tantrum on the radio in brazil 2022 when the team asked him to let checo pass even tho he'd already won the championship and letting checo past would've benefited the team as a whole, he had nothing to lose
dating a fascist and defending her and her fucked up family
blew silverstone 2021 insanely out of proportion and did not respond to lewis's attempts to make amends, which led to a whole slew of racist abuse against lewis
monza 2021. "that's what you get" after nearly killing lewis
assaulted esteban ocon and had to do community service for it.
in fact he threatens to assault people quite a lot
fucked up another sim racer's drive out of pettiness and because that's the only way he knows how to drive
got rightfully penalized for trying to kill lando and insisted it's bc he has the wrong passport for f1. read that again. the dutch passport is the 3rd strongest in the world and f1 always favors white european men. he's an idiot with too much audacity and not enough sense.
doesn't actually enjoy racing lol why is he even here
abu dhabi 2022 during quali when he was about to go turn into lewis on purpose and his engineer had to calm him down
he's clearly ok with his stolen championship and how things went down in abu dhabi 2021, proving he has the integrity of a soggy teabag dipped one too many times in lukewarm water
EDIT TO ADD: that one time all the drivers were really shaken up after romain grosjean's horrifying crash in bahrain and max said "we're not sissies" to defend himself when lewis called him out for being callous
EDIT TO ADD AGAIN: that one time he said someone would have to be really stupid to crash into a recovery vehicle during the rain. here's the wikipedia page for jules bianchi for no specific reason :)))))
and finally, his fans who come into my inbox demanding i explain why i don't like this absolute necrotic testicle of a man, as if they too don't know how to google things
