He's an irritant.
Max Verstappen is an irritant in terms of the way that he just pushes, pushes, pushes.
There's a story from Verstappen with the GT3 stuff where, I don't know if this is true, but I'm just going to say it because I can just well believe it.
It fits the Verstappen psychology so much where apparently he's sourced different
shock absorbers or something and just turned up to a test and said I want to try these because I think they'll make it better I think I say that story because I can 100% believe Verstappen doing something like that just going that like extra little bit to try and sort of force something through and
The way, Ed, you described what Leclerc does with the radio calls and things like this, we've seen it in a different form, haven't we, with the way that he ends up being, I think Mark used the word passive as well, but passive in race in terms of when there's a decision to be made about changing conditions or strategy or something like this.
How many times did we talk in his time as a teammate to Carlos Sainz that Sainz would basically race engineer himself?
during Grand Prix, because he'd just go, no, no, I know what we need to do here, let's do this.
He won at Silverstone, basically, by doing that, didn't he, Sainz, in a race that easily could have been a Leclerc win if the situation had been different.
It feels a little bit like, this is probably going to sound a bit too harsh, but it feels like Leclerc
is happy I'm not sure but happy to kind of like there's a certain amount of stuff here that I just want and need to trust the team to do and I don't know if he has quite worked out really how to impose himself enough to sort of
just force through changes or whatever it ends up being which just means when there are moments where the narrative is oh Hamilton's doing this Hamilton's doing that Hamilton's changed this maybe Leclerc can go along for the ride like a little bit
But that doesn't change the fact that if he gets what he needs and Ferrari's capable of doing that and Leclerc's capable of working stuff out because he's a fantastically adaptable driver as well, he will just, because this is what he's done up until now, he will just often rely on ability because the level of ability is ridiculously high and that will overcome most of, maybe even all, of what I was just talking about.
I mean, the thing that always follows him around is that spin and crash in France in 22, which was when that championship situation was already slipping away from him.
And there was no title fight to be had that season.
You know, hindsight proves that, but it was already in that moment going away from him.
But that's the thing that always, I see it a lot on social media.
Like, that's the thing that sort of, oh, you know, this is the driver they say would be amazing if he gets a championship fight.
This is the driver they say is unfair, has never had a championship fight.
Look what he did the last time he was in the championship battle.
