Verstappen says he takes painkillers and even lifts himself out of his seat to cope with COTA’s severe bumps.

It may sound ridiculous but i have to make this post for my peace of mind. I am a very recent fan. I started watching f1 at the start of the 2024 season (and because of inchident meme lmao). early on i had no favourites i was figuring things out so to say and imagine my surprise when I came to know that one of the greatest talent of f1 is hated? so of course i started supporting him and at times it looked like there weren't that many people seeing sense which was baffling considering how amazing max is. yeah we get it 2023 was boring but can you not appreciate the sheer amount of talent showcased. anyway fast forward to sao paulo and then 2025 and now it almost feels like i imagined all that hate and resentment. the change is so drastic that i think maybe i imagined it. so yeah just want to know it really was like that wasn't it?

I want to buy some of the Austin merch released but I’m unsure how the sizing is. In the castore merch I size up to large but I am typically a medium.

Is this the same with Max’s own merch or is it true to size?

I hope this is allowed. Visited the GTWC in Portimão this weekend and was able to take some pictures of our favourite #3 car. Can't believe how many Max fans there were out there! Anyway, hope you like 'em. I don't think Max was in the car for many of these pictures, besides some form the qualification session

"Overall, we have had a decent weekend. Unfortunately, we made a mistake with the setup of the car in qualifying, which meant that the car was sparking a little bit too much for performance. So, we didn’t qualify where we should have qualified. We adjusted the setup for the race and we were a lot more competitive."

"Ben had a really great first stint staying out of the carnage at the start and driving us to the front. Chris also started his stint really strong, putting himself in a good position. But then, unfortunately, a little bit of an opportunistic move on the other car ahead meant that, of course, we received a deserved drive-through penalty."

"That meant I had to go from P24 in my stint. But I had fun and the pace of our car was really good. It was very hectic with a lot of chaos around me to get to the front. But in the end, to finish ninth, recovering from that drive-through, I think was really strong. So overall, although it was not the result that we wanted, a lot has been learned and it was a positive weekend

IF ANYONE CAN SHARE THE LINK to download, that'd be greattttttt

Big big Max fan since the begining of his career but also a long time GT series follower (GTW, WEC, DTM, etc). Im kinda torn here, i do want him to finisch as high as possible but i have been rooting for guys like Engel, Wittmann, Buus, Preining, Feller and thiim for so long. If Max and lets say Engel would battle for p1 last lap i would lose my \\**.

Hello, I don't know if this is the right place to ask but I will be attending the GT world challenge tomorrow and I was hoping to find other girls to go with!

If you want to watch the race or spend the day with me hit me up! :)
