Well done. :-) I don't know how anyone can drive a race and look at those others. [nt]

Perhaps he needs a big cushion in the middle of the steering wheel like bumper cars have...

Message: Verstappen drives like an infant
Bill,
Verstappen (to be clear...Max and not the pater) has crashed or contributed to crashing his expensive TAG Heuer Red Bull Racing F1 car 5 times out of 6 races this season.
Since entering F1, his dangerous driving has caused complaints by five World Champions: Raikkonen, Alonso, Vettel, Hamilton and Rosberg.
He cannot claim to be a rookie anymore being in his 4th season so he needs a driving lesson.
To be a winner is not about speed but to be a finisher.
Regards
MTF

Arie Says Check....Then Rocky Says Checkmate :)
Senna's Infamous Interview With Sir Jackie Stewart - One will have to go to YouTube directly to view this. Double click on the YouTube logo on the bottom right hand corner of video, and BAM, it will take you there faster than a Verstappen or Senna crash incident....

I wouldn't use Senna as an argument to justify Verstappen's driving habits.
Senna was reckless AND vicious.
My point is that if you hail one driver you shouldn’t condemn the other with similar driving style. [nt]

You are both missing my point
I am not, and never have been a big Senna fan, nor have I ever been impressed with his bad driving habits and how he influenced other drivers of his era and other upcoming future drivers. Arie was the one who dragged Senna quotes into this thread, trying to defend young Mr. Verstappen, not me.
I am merely pointing out the reality of to win a race you must first finish, without crashing. If you can't win a race, an intelligent and mature driver will then then devote himself to score points. Keke Rosberg won his lone WDC with just one victory that season, and then in most of the other races scored points.
Like I have stated in a previous thread, I was fortunate to have met Senna on different occasions, at multiple F1 races. He was a nasty piece of work, and if you were not his trusted friend, (he didn't have many) and especially if you were Press, he was completely hostile when approached. I once actually witnessed him tell a fan to fuck off when approached for an autograph. Try and digest that. He was usually surrounded by family members like his sister and brother. Don't believe me ? Pay attention to what Jackie Stewart states in the video I have already posted above. He made JYS wait 3 hours before he decided to show up. If it was anybody else representing the Press, Senna would have declined the interview and told the reporter to go get stuffed.
I can't remember who said this famous quote, but it basically goes something like this: You're mostly better off not meeting your heroes, because chances are, you will not like what you find. Worldwide fame and success is an intense strange mercurial thing to deal with, especially in the insane world of F1. It can be highly toxic, and some people deal with this better than others.
Young Mad Max is still coming to terms with all this vis-a-vis his driving habits, and has cost Red Bull Racing a shit load of money and points. I personally don't stress or lose sleep over this, because I'm sure Didi can afford it.
Mad Max is still only 20 years old. In the old days, he would not even be considered ready yet, and would still be racing in a lower formula. Even in the last race in Monaco, when climbing through the mid field back markers (can't be bothered to look up who the car/driver was), he came into contact with a car yet again after the tunnel before passing it, despite having been talked to by both Horner and Marko to temper his aggression after crashing out in qualifying. If I were the Red Bull Team manager, I would demote him and send him packing back to Torro Roso, teaching him a valuable F1 life lesson. Unfortunately-depending on your viewpoint- this is highly unlikely to happen because Mad max draws in the crowds at the gate and boosts TV ratings for Liberty Media, F1's new owners. At the end of the day, but not always just most of the time, decisions in F1 are based on the almighty dollar.
F1's new golden boy is the catalyst for ongoing negotiations to have have a Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort. Wait for it, it's close to being announced. In closing, his on track behavior this season is IMHO, completely unacceptable.
Let us all wait and see how he behaves in Montreal this weekend.
Non Crashing Regards,
Rocky
