I actually, you might've seen last year when he did a race there, um, a, a well-known drive, like one of the very best GT drivers tried to call him out on the internet.

And, um,

Was it Mario Engel?

I can't remember who it was.

I think it was Engel, yeah.

Basically called him out and said, you know, either he's not as great as he thinks he is or his balance of performance was out compared to what else is.

And of course, Max replied and then the Max Verstappen fan base piled in on this bloke and he realised that he'd poked a bit of a tiger and he shouldn't have done it.

But I do think that in the reality, Max turned up and the only test he had to pass was he respected the event and he respected...

Everyone around him.

He didn't turn up and I think have expectations of being treated differently.

I suspect moving him around was a bit difficult because he's so famous.

But he played by the rules.

And they very nearly won.

If it hadn't been for a drive-shot failure, they would have won.

They were ahead.

But the most telling thing for me was I was just looking for that nugget of...

The Car Podcast with Chris Harris & Friends

sort of brilliant racing brain that we see from him week in, week out, where you just think he's operating on a different level.

And he gave, I'm not sure it was a quotation or it was reported from the team, but I think they wanted him to start the race.

They wanted him to start the race because he's the big name.

And he turned around and said, no, I won't start the race because I'll get involved in dust-ups straight away because I can't help it.
