2021 Hungarian Grand Prix - Hungaroring, July 30 - Aug 01

[GOAT]

Easy for him to say this now when he has never been deep into a championship fight before.

Looking at it from your perspective; wouldn’t it be easier for Max to ‘loose’ his self-control, never been deep into a F1 championship fight before?

The fact Max’ so calm and relaxed about it, show there is not a single dent in his armor.

You have no way of knowing how calm or relaxed he actually is though. All you know is what gets out via the press, and that's never very much. The teams have a representative with a driver all the time when talking with the press for a reason!

[Wouter]

If it was Hamilton and Verstappen together, I would suspect that Hamilton would play the "Ocon" a bit. Just relax and "oh well, yeah, that's racing, but I don't believe it's my fault", provoking Verstappen in not acknowledging him in his anger.

.
Max doesn't care what Lewis says. Nothing he says can make Max angry.

Max yesterday: " I don’t have much to say on all the media hype and to be honest I am not interested in getting involved in any of that.
I know what happened at Silverstone as I was in the car and obviously I feel a certain way about how my race ended but now
I’m just focusing on making sure we are the best we can be on track so we can stay ahead in the championship."

.
Well all Lewis had to do was celebrate a win and it drove Max crazy.

.
How do you know? Because the statement from the hospital Sunday evening 7:45 p.m.? You think that was written by Max?
Those were clearly the words of Horner and/or Jos Verstappen. They were very dissapointed about the celebration..
When Max speaks, he uses other words/sentences.
Max only made a statement about what happend at Silverstone yesterday for the first time since the moan during the crash. He only said he wouldn't talk about it, he wants to race this weekend.

Yes. They didn’t read like Max’s words.

Guys, enough of these nonsense. Stay on topic. This is the Hungarian GP thread. Let's focus on the weekend ahead.

Children, children....Please stop this puerile "discussion". It is clear what the thread is supposed to be about but a number of the usual suspects have lowered it into an insult trading platform. Please behave like mature adults and actually discuss the upcoming race. If you want to trade insults, please do it by PM, so that genuine F1 fans do not have to see them.

[politburo]

This is quite easily the most important race of the season for some of these drivers looking to secure the futures like Perez, Latifim, Bottas, Russell, Raikonnen. before the 4-week break. I suspect a lot will happen in the driver market during the 4-week layoff.

Lets hope for a change we can have normal discussions about the race and all the actions not just one thing
