not sure what your thoughts are about. not many people are afraid of racing Max other than Lando. and maybe Oscar if he starts to think about the WDC, but then again, maybe not. yes most people will lose out when they race Max but that doesn't mean they are scared of him.
for example, I know for sure Charles is not scared of inchidents, even though he acknowledged that Max beat him real good and disappeared into the distance. Others I'm thinking are there or thereabouts.

I don't think anyone is necessarily scared of anyone else on the grid. I do think most guys do not want to race as hard as him, but that's primarily where I see the delta. I lean towards much more penalty lenient atmosphere that allows drivers to be a bit more forceful and hold their ground. Then again, you see the very biased nature of 'it's ok to force a guy off or hold your ground' as long as it's not Max making the maneuver.
