He knows. From a guy who is not only a great F1 driver but has done what few have and had success outside F1 (where there is parity with BoP) he tells it like few will admit. Max >>>>> rest who are there or have come before him. Max might be the only other guy to win the motorsports triple crown whereas others are afraid to race where cars are equal and the driver counts for it more than even in the current regulation of F1.

Horner can't believe it, he's on cloud 9 and Marko must be having a little chuckle somewhere.

A McLaren [Norris] has the fastest first sector and then Piastri has the fastest second and third sector ?"
Andrea Stella (McLaren): "Uh, that's somebody. Definitely hats off to Verstappen. He pulled off a lap which, uh, was quite impressive considering that performance he has had until the last run of Q3. But as you say, he's the, you know, world champion for four times and there's a reason for that. So, well done to him. (...) Putting everything together is easy to say on paper, but it's not easy to do when you are in the car, especially at such a track as this one in Suzuka."

Yeah .

We MAX fans need rain

Wow, fantastic lap! It always amazes me, the whole weekend VER an RBR seemed to be to slow to play a role in the poleposition battle, and "poof" there he is with a remarkable lap. Unbelievable, and not the first time he did this.

And still, some here will not give the credit where credit is deserved. Or stay awfully quiet.

Feel the heat at rows #1 and #7.

Again, no one else could do that in a car this difficult to drive and why no one else would have won in his car in 2021 through 2024.

Right? We just need to appreciate what this man is doing while we have the chance. One day he’ll be done. I want to know that I watched how great he was during his time in F1. His ability to feel what his car is doing, adjust, and go beyond what his car is capable of performing, is frankly otherworldly.

You’re absolutely right. Nobody on the grid would be able to do what he’s doing with this Red Bull car.

Geduld is de boodschap Robin. Dit was YUKI's eerste kwalificatie in de RB21.
YUKI maakte 2 kleine foutjes in zijn laatste rondje anders had hij wel in de top-10 gestaan.
Laat ons morgen maar de race in de regen zien , ik denk dat een top-10 voor ons Japannerke best wel haalbaar is .
Punten scoren in het WCC is zijn opdracht en MAX helpen indien mogelijk.
Nautuurlijk en hopelijk ook zonder kleerscheuren (!)

MAX dacht tijdens zijn pole lap , minstens 5 keer te crashen .
Zo schandalig slecht is die RB21 Frankenstein auto , enkel de MAX-Factor kan zoiets uitzonderlijk haalbaar maken (!)

Not that dissimilar to what Senna was thinking when he was streaking away from Prost at Monaco all those years ago
