@FlatOut If you prefer your full name and would like it to be respected, and you write mine abbreviated, already in previous posts and later in the same text. Do you respect that or not? It is known how to quote a text, it is put in quotation marks. That was not the case with you, and I referred to what you wrote. If you do not want that expression to be used, you are careful how you handle it. If you use it, I take the right to refer to you, and I use it in the same way. We can have two different discussions about Max. Name the rules, and if you will abide by them, I will abide by them too. Max's narrative. I have nothing to prove to you. You see it as forcing. We are only praising and writing about the driver we love. That is what you cannot accept now, that he can be praised so much, you hate his success. You can be happy that he is finished, I see that you are enjoying it. You are in every article about him. This is the time of the internet and instant information. Much more than it was just a few years ago, and that's why it seems like there's so much going on about Max. If it were Lewis, Schumacher or Senna today, it would be exactly the same. Everyone would write and praise them in the same way today. Your perception of everything to do with Max is very negative. You can't stand him, and that's why you're sensitive to everything to do with him, especially if it's positive. He's on every post he makes. I don't know what to call it, but it definitely bothers you. You know I've said it before, it's a red flag for you. You'll say it's not, but it is. Max, Max, Max. blah blah blah. - like you're allergic to everything to do with him. And you are:))) I don't know what opinion you're asking me about? I think I was talking about Max fans. Those who think he should shut up or leave, I've already talked about that. I think these statements are clouded by dislike, because Max wants betterment for racing and is fighting for what he thinks is the wrong direction. If you think they are blackmail with possible retirement, I even think that is true. I believe that he could leave everything if changes were not made. It is not disrespectful to media towards Lando. It is just a fact. It just shows how important he is. He is nowhere. You said it right, as if it did not happen. People do not perceive him. There is no mandatory equality, that everyone should be treated the same way, and that is right. Mike Hawthorn or Denny Hulme were champions but nobody cares, and many F1 connoisseurs have never heard of them, but they are famous for Fangio, Clark or all that we know well. There is no mandatory equality, but how the public perceives you. That is why I say, how Max will be perceived - time will tell. It was 3 years ago for me. Max spoke about it, and that is a fact. Now that the problem is real, and it turns out that Max was right. Did you make fun of it three years ago? There are a lot of you, I wouldn't bet you didn't. If you say: "Yet people make a big deal out of it as though the entire F1 world should have bowed down to his every word." There's no need to bow down, but such a statement makes it seem like every word of his is a red flag. I said about Stroll that he didn't say anything "back in" 2023, that's what I meant. I assume that the drivers you mentioned, you meant 2026. As I said, no one else except Max said that, and criticized it even then. So why wouldn't you praise it, if you were in my place. Especially since you know that a lot of you commented on it derisively? That's what you call him derisively Nostradamus. But if Lewis had said that, he would have written about it in the same way as I do now. Actually, in a much bigger way. Ludi-Flat The problem with everything and all these discussions and arguments of ours is that we constantly promote the correct way and fight against communication that we consider to be incorrect, and then when we need to show it in part, it is missing. In my opinion, this example is that you criticized me for something, because it bothers you, and you had every right to. You warned me, and I changed it. There was no hidden intention on my part. I already wrote that way for the sake of speed, it is important to indicate who my comment refers to. I didn't even need to. If you think I offended you with that abbreviation, that you are flat? For your information, you call me Ludi - which in my language literally means crazy. You're literally calling me a lunatic. But I didn't see it that way and I have no problem with that. If you want to correct something that you disagree with, be an example. We disagree, which is perfectly fine. That's why I say, then I will tell the truth, it cannot be fooled, nor will any fanaticism have any influence on it.

@FlatOut Okay, I'll use your full name. I don't see why it suddenly became a problem. You express frustration with the definition of "true racers", but you used that definition in the post I was replying to??? FlatOut: "True racers would stick it out and compete no matter what the rules were, as long as they were the same for everyone." No need to argue about it anymore. I explained my opinion about Max, I can't provide you with evidence and quotes because I don't have any. If you disagree with that, fine, that's your opinion, this is mine, no need to prove it. I agree that we are united about the rules, and I don't think that's questionable in our discussion. I found your statement, which I quoted at the beginning, where you say that drivers (I intentionally didn't quote) would stick it out and compete no matter what the rules were... I reacted to that, and I wrote my opinion about it. Nothing more. Why are we arguing? Because it's about Max, that's the simple answer. From your side (anti-Max fans) you keep pushing the narrative: Max fans and the media are putting Max in the middle of everything. You portray it as if it's some kind of conspiracy of all of us, and it's done to glorify his greatness, which is actually completely false. That's the problem, that you don't agree with it, and you can't accept that all of us who praise him really mean it. It's not false on our part, we really mean it. His fans, and I believe that many journalists share the same opinion. At least there are certainly a lot of articles about him, because they are read and encourage discussions, as we have been tirelessly doing for years. Which isn't strange and I don't know if you've noticed. Lando is the new champion and who is writing or talking about him. How many articles have there been this year about what the new champion or Max is saying? And all your comments, I believe that most of them are about Max. Your vehemence in this answer says it all. I say that Max spoke about the rules 2 or more years ago, I knew it was close to 3. But your answer 3 years, not when humans began to evolve from the descendants of apes. Sorry, but that sounds very frustrating. Who spoke about it 3 years ago? Who? Max did. I haven't read any similar reviews from other drivers. I haven't seen anything like this from Stroll. I haven't seen anything like it since Stroll. Max already 3 years ago (thanks for the information) directly stated the problem that is happening now. It's true, it's not as far away as evolution, but it's still very far away. He recognized it even then. I remember very well that time, when you made fun of his statements and attributed it to the fact that the RB engine was probably bad, so that he had an alibi. That's how it was, were you among them? I know for sure that Vegan was. By the way, I'll notice that you address me: "I know what the complaints are, Ludi" I thought from your criticism from the beginning that it was important for you to spell your full name? Decide. Ultimately, I agree with most of what you wrote, except for your misunderstanding that those of us who praise him really mean it. That's our opinion, which you may or may not agree with. I understand you when you say that you're happy to see him in midfield and that you want it to be like this all year. I would like it if the possible change brought real improvement, with which Max would be happy:)))

@Vegan The quotes you cite as evidence for your claim are exactly what I keep repeating that you are doing. Those quotes are just one part of the statement, and if you look at them on their own then they can lead you to the wrong conclusion, as is the case with you here, mate. I used to think and say that you are manipulating information, but now I am not so sure. I don't think you are doing it on purpose, you are simply being hasty and then you come across as superficial. That is why you are drawing the wrong conclusions and not recognizing the context of what was said. You should read everything. I apologize if I am being too direct. You are asking yourself: "How is that making any sense to you, 24 races is too much & he takes on more racing?" If you had read the whole article you would have gotten the answer to your question. With the new rules, Max no longer enjoys F1 racing 100%, but there are races where he enjoys it. Max: "“I have a lot of other projects that I have a lot of passion about. The GT3 racing. Not only racing it myself but also the team. It's really nice and fun to build that…” How much more clear can it be mate.

@Flat So you probably understand what "real racers" means if you write that yourself? There is no definition, but what we think and understand it should be. If for me it is Max, for you it is someone else, but we will both agree that it is Ayrton. That is why I quoted him, and for me it is the closest definition or description. That is how I imagine it. That is exactly what Max is saying now, in F1 driving must always be an imperative and everything must be subordinate to that. Energy management and control can be an addition, but not to such an extent that it slows down drivers from pushing the car to the limits. That is how I imagine it. Max already recognized this long ago in the simulator, and even then he criticized it. His criticisms were directed precisely at the fact that it is no longer about having to push the limits of the car to the limits of your own capabilities. Now you have to deliberately slow down in order to press a button to be faster. What would Ayrton say to all this? I don't put Max on a high pedestal for no reason. That's my opinion and that's how I see it. You hear whining from him, I hear criticism that I can agree with. If he's going to say stupid things that I don't agree with, I can say that without a problem, and I'll say it out loud if I feel the need to say it. If he was now leading the championship and RB had the best car, surely his criticisms would be absent and the comments would be toned down. I believe it would be so, but again, I wouldn't be surprised if he commented on the forced mode of slowing down to manage the battery. Max doesn't want to leave, he wants the formula to be what he thinks it should be, that the driver should primarily decide the speed of the lap with his driving. I don't see that people are making fun of him, but on the contrary that more and more people are joining his opinion. The only time you made fun of him on this blog was when he already hinted at it 2 or more years ago. You laughed then, but now it turns out he was right. I can't and don't want to comment on your opinion of Max. Feel free to think what you want, and only time will tell what kind of image he will create. Why didn't noris join in the criticism in the same direction later? Your directness doesn't bother me at all, but if nonsense bothers you, then don't write it. Let's be clear, Max is not some superhero saving F1. He primarily only looks out for his own interests. He wants to have the fastest car, and for driving to be about the driver having to push the car's limits to the limits of his own capabilities

@Vegan Don't worry, I'm responsible and I manage with all available tools. Your posts were not clear, if you took out only the parts of several different statements that you wanted to emphasize, and wanted to present all these parts in a common context. That is not right. Max did not personalize the statements in the way you want to present them. First you say one thing, that he did include the team, and then you go back to the old way, and again you mention that it is not good for him personally. Your inconsistency? Remember that he also mentioned races outside of F1, maybe you will agree with that later. Yes, Max wants to have fewer races on the calendar, just like other drivers. Other drivers do not drive other races, I am sure that all of them are much less on the simulator than he is. That is why I say that your claim and attempt to prove what Max meant with your criticisms is completely pointless. Your initial post is based solely on your own erroneous and nonsensical assumption.

@Vegan You're pushing a negative narrative towards him that's really pointless. Now you say you agree, is that new? "I agree that he also talks about impact on teams & I have never disagreed with that." This is the first time I've heard that from you. Until now you've always claimed it was personal. When you say I deny it, that he takes it back to himself. What do you want to prove, that Max made those criticisms, and that racing 24 races a year is too much for him. Sorry, that's total nonsense to me. I think Max could race 50 races a year and would still drive a simulator at home. But he'll still say that 24 races on the F1 calendar is too much. He'd like to have 20 races at most. That's why it's totally pointless to me that you want to portray it as inconsistency or hypocrisy. Especially since other drivers think the same, and I believe everyone on the grid would like fewer races on the calendar. It's less work for all of them, but that doesn't mean they don't want to or can't be involved in racing in any way. I can't explain it any better. Regarding AI and how you say you've got on my nerves with it. I wrote to you honestly about it, what and how I use it. It's just another example of your wrong reasoning. What I'm posting, are these my thoughts? Look at it this way. It's like driving by the new rules for now. As you said, now drivers use the tools they have, it's their skill to use them properly. Are the races now their driving or energy management. In this case you praised it as the whole package. Right;)

@Flat You are right. Let me add another. "To all who love him, his arrogance, rudeness and "bad" manners, overtaking, "pushing" off the track, racing, winning his first championship will be acceptable. You said it right, not that we accept it, but we like it in him. Is that the norm? When it comes to Max, yes. Basically, everything opposite to you. That's exactly what I'm saying. I didn't like Lewis from day one, and everything he said, did, won, I viewed in a negative way. I had my reasons, I found them. The same way you view Max now. Who is worse or better, it doesn't matter. Fans will always find something to vilify or praise. You said it right, that Lewis is less brazen, or less arrogant, but there is always some other reason. Whether it's clothes, braids, or choice of partner, there are no rules, everyone has their own reason. I'm speaking from experience, because I was one of them. I didn't like him from the first day he came. Probably the primary reason was that I supported Ferrari, but from those beginnings I created an image of him as an arrogant rookie and I supported him and enjoyed the fact that he did not become a champion right away. It has remained that way, I did not like him and I found my reasons in everything he did. That has changed now that he has moved to Ferrari, my perception of him has changed. Now I see him with different eyes. That is why I say, not all people are the same, and you cannot judge everything in the same way. I do not understand the statement that trolls do this, because I say that our perception is attributed to hatred. I believe that is so, I have just described above how it was in my case. And yes, I admit that it determined my speech and my opinion towards him. As you write criticism, others do the same. As for journalists. On this blog and in general, statements are always made and everything we read on the internet is taken for granted. That is it. Nobody knows what is true was. We read about it, but that's just what some journalist wrote and told us. Whether that's all, or there was something more, no one knows. Maybe it wasn't just the question, but the way he asked the question. Who knows, but it doesn't matter. Max was revolted, and he did what he did. You see, that incident in Spain is something I didn't approve of. I mentioned his upbringing as a possible reason for Max's directness and rudeness in his statements, and I'm sure in his driving too. That's my opinion. What he'll do in the future and how long we'll be watching him, no one knows, it all depends on him and how long he'll be happy with it. He's not happy with the new rules at the moment, because according to him, racing should be about driving, not managing. I hope that will change and that we'll be watching him for many years to come.
