F1 Has A Max Problem

While there’s no doubt that Max is one of the most skilled drivers the sport has ever seen, his unprecedented success raises some intriguing questions about the competitive landscape of F1.

It's mainly British exceptionalism that has a Max Verstappen problem.

If Max is a problem then so were Lauda, Prost, Schumacher, Vettel, Senna and Hamilton. We are witnessing history in the making. The rest of the grid needs to step their game up. Plain and simple.

At one point Formula 1 had a Lewis Hamilton problem. Max isn't the problem, it's just the way the world works.

[reggaesurvivor]

there is nothing more statisfying than one fucking godly driver shitting on every1.

[mindsofeuropa]

It's not a problem that the best driver in the sport is successful. It would be a problem if he weren't.

[Mike.Mendes]

There's no Max problem. There's a drive to survive fans problem.

Lewis Hamilton: Wins 7 times
Max: Wins 3 times

People: MaX iS a PrOblEm!!!!

[superkoosable]

We don´t have a Max Verstappen problem. We have a lacking competition problem. Never blame the champion.

Djokovic, Federer, Nadal problem for 20 freakin years, the same players winning grandslams (Nadal 15 Roland Garros titles, turning the tournament in a sleepfest for over a decade), Phelps destroying the swimming field 15 years ago, Phil Taylor winning 16 world darts titles, Magnus Carlsen untouchable chess genius for 10 years, Tiger Woods, etc etc etc etc, , Max Verstappen a racing phenomenon. Get over it.

Blaming the winner for winning instead of the losers for losing. Welcome to F1!

[heindiebels]

It is clear that they are still not over the 2021 season on that island in the North Sea.

F1 had a hamilton problem
F1 had a vettel problem
F1 had an alonso problem
F1 had a Schumacher problem
F1 had a prost and senna problem
Nevermind, it's just how f1 has been for decades.

[watdeneuk]

He never stated he was bored of winning, he has counterdicted that time and time again so that's BS. He said he might quit F1 simply because it requires basically your whole life to participate and he would like to participate in other sports as well.

[hiufgterde]

What a load of crap, other teams simply need to get their sh*t together. Remember, RB brought a completely new concept this season and they're still ahead of everyone else. The other teams are sleeping.

[quentinruggles]

I genuinely don't think people understand the work he's putting into his driving. It's sad to see people talk shit. I get it, but you don't see any of the other drivers pitting in the hours. I could be wrong. But he is blitzing the field for a reason. I actually love watching people's criticism, because it makes me understand that they are a bumb ass. Lol

[deanpellewever]

Sees a channel talking about Max Verstappen, hears the accent *sighs*

[nawaryn]

Yes it will be fun to watch more people winning but max is not a problem.

[nadiaslijter]

I don't get it. We have had long time dominant winners in other sports as well, for example skating, cycling, boxing. Nobody was complaining about that, but for some reason, it is a problem in racing.

[modelt]

Have been watching the sport for over 30 years, this is not the first and certainly not the last time that the sport has undergone a dominant period due to one driver
Afterwards they are all mentioned as legends of the sport and people would have liked to experience a driver's peak, this is such a peak and I really enjoy it
Every race we sit here with a group of friends to look at all the data, this is really very special what he is doing and I have never seen it before, driving the same time for 35 laps within a hundredth
Of course you want him to be challenged and I have been hoping for a long time that they will put Norris next to him, in my view someone with the skills to challenge him.
And two good friends who don't give each other a yard on the track can create a spectacle

[nicolefrie]

Other teams need to step up their game to compete, don't blame the best driver on the grid just because they can't keep up
