Μια ψύχραιμη άποψη για τον Μαξ που διάβασα και νομίζω δεν είναι αρκετά μακριά από τη πραγματικότητα. Ειδικά ο μπαμπάς Τζος είναι απάλευτος και όντως στη Redbull το μονοθέσιο ήταν φτιαγμένο γύρω από αυτόν. Όμως είναι ταλέντο και αν τον βάλεις σε ανταγωνιστικό μονοθέσιο είναι άπιαστος.
Max his management can explore all they want. No serious team wants the Verstappen circus anywhere near them. Jos Verstappen is one of the most toxic figures in the sport, (there’s a reason why the convicted criminal fled to Belgium, nobody wanted to work with him) and the moment Max started winning, everyone suddenly forgot the toxic baggage that came with him.
That is where the problem lies for the Verstappens. On top of that, Max is massively overrated. He’s the Taylor Swift of F1: a product built on relentless marketing and promotion. (F1TV and Sky are so far up Max his ass he should charge rent).
Meanwhile, drivers like Alonso, Hamilton and Senna are the John Lennon and Paul McCartney of the sport. Their reputations were forged through years of proving themselves at the highest level. They worked to earn their status rather than having it handed to them on a silver platter or manufactured around them.
At Red Bull, the entire structure was built around Max. One-man team, political protection, endless excuses, and a media machine selling the “generational talent” narrative. Any top driver can look untouchable when the whole operation is bent around them and the FIA repeatedly looks the other way.
But other teams are actual two-driver teams. They are not going to dismantle their structure for a faux champion who still has not proven himself against a WDC-winning teammate, without heavy favouritism or a car designed entirely around him.
It only worked at Red Bull because Horner and Marko were the toxic glue holding the whole thing together. Now that Mekies is pushing for a more equal team dynamic and Hadjar is getting close because he is allowed to have a similar spec, the myth is starting to crack.
Just look at Red Bull now. The Verstappen project tore that team apart from the inside out, everyone capable left or got fired and the whole thing is now collapsing, with the only toxic factor left being the Verstappen clan.
