Average Max statement lol
E: downvote all you want, Max fanboys. Saying you intend to crash a competitor out of a race head-first into a wall is not acceptable, particularly not in a sport where people have died and the last death was due to a head injury...
Max has been acting in this way ever since he joined the sport and nothing is ever done about it.
I see that Max stans are out in full force with the downvotes. F1 fans think Max is their god or something, it's weird.
They really are.
If it was Stroll or someone who had said he intends to "crash someone's fucking head into a wall" there would be zero excuses made for him. But of course, because it's Max, people bend over backwards to make it seem like he's in the right, as usual.
Max is a hot head but do you really think that he would say that he would deliberately crash somebody out and put them on their headยฟ? Verstappen never went to this level even though he was sent to the hospital by lewis (for standard checks only). I somehow don't see him making that specific statement - both parts, the one about letting Russell through and about shoving him into the wall doesn't sound like something that max would.
He did say it.
And wdym? Max has definitely deliberately crashed before. Saudi Arabia 2021 is an obvious one.
Shoving someone into the wall sounds exactly like something Max would do, he's well known for being overly-aggressive and shoving people off track.
We have had no third party come out and verify what happened between them. How can you make such a concrete statement is my question.
Odd that he hasn't put anyone (other than himself) in the wall in Monaco, Baku, Las Vegas, Singapore, Sochi, Montreal or any other track with walls close by. Max often goes over the line when fighting with a car on traditional circuits and is often not punished appropriately for it but he much better behaved on street tracks because he knows the consequences.
