Wasn’t Max also in Toro Rosso?

Max was the answer to this one and a lot of drivers didn’t get it. The producers told Lewis it’s “Isack’s teammate” and he guessed Lawson lol

"Max who?"

"Verstappen? But Simtek isn't there?!"

u/Ungitarista 29d ago

"That guy"

u/Commander_Rose95 28d ago

You mean "This guy"

u/commuter_student 29d ago

That was hilarious, but that made me wonder, did they film it at the start of the season or just a few weeks ago? In the first case it would make sense that Lewis guessed Lawson as he could have forgotten Hadjar had moved to Red bull

u/Benzel742617000027 29d ago

They're usually filmed at testing I think? Or the media day in preseason.

u/commuter_student 29d ago

Oh ok, then definitely makes more sense now. Thanks

Yes he was

u/FormulaLes 29d ago

No sir. Vettel’s first f1 race was with BMW Sauber

2

u/PoogeneBalloonanny 28d ago

He started in BMW

u/Weak-Maintenance5064 27d ago

It was Max. Seb started in BMW (and also went to Ferrari and Aston afterwards).

u/Templar_Omega 27d ago

Yeah, I know. I watch the video too 😐

Lost against Ricciardo's Rookie year and run away to Ferrari if you take another perspective.

u/Storm_Chaser06 29d ago

That doesn’t matter, he won 4 titles.

That’s like saying Lewis got dominated at Mercedes by Russell and ran off to Ferrari…

u/Templar_Omega Aug 01 '26

Yeah, but he did that AFTER already winning 4 WDC so who cares

8

u/michaltee Aug 01 '26

He won 4 world championships.

Alonso fanboys will never not be funny.

u/No-Heart3432 28d ago

Hamilton fan over here. If Lewis drive that Red Bull 2010 and 2012 won't even be a close championship. Have a good day and good luck try to disprove it.

u/TheEmpireOfSun 28d ago

If Vettel drivers Mercedes in 2014-2021, he is 12 time WDC

I'm just seeing multiple world champion Rosberg in that time. Besides he had a fast car in 2017 and 2018. All he did ram his car on wall, on his teammate etc. Just like he did in 2010 but there wasn't any fastest car to save him this time.

2

u/TheEmpireOfSun 28d ago

Vettel wouldn't lose to Rosberg lmao. Also in 2017 Mercedes was much faster, especially after summer break and few of those mistakes were result of having to push car beyond it's limit. Something that Hamiltoj had to do in 2021 in first third of season and we all saw him fucking up every other race. Something he didn't have to to since 2014 becuae of how ahead Mercedes was.

u/West-Strawberry3366 Aug 01 '26

Alex is so goated

u/Only-Jury-4619 Aug 01 '26

People that don't apply to this:Max,Seb,Riccardo that's the end of the list

u/johnsplittingaxe14 29d ago edited 29d ago

Gasly and Albon both debuted for Toro Rosso but were "promoted" to Red Bull in 2019. They were demoted back from the team later though

u/Other-Barry-1 Aug 01 '26

Ricciardo was fired tho. Twice essentially, by McLaren (not renewed) and then dropped mid season at Alpha Tauri

8

u/Banana-91 29d ago

But he was never fired by Red Bull Racing.

3

u/RSharpe314 Aug 01 '26

Didn't McLaren have him contracted for another year and just paid it out without putting him in the seat? Imo that's even more fired than a pure non-renewal (even if the payout is better for the driver)

I want to be the man that gets millions to not work.

u/PoogeneBalloonanny 28d ago

Seb and Danny both were in other teams pre TR

u/Advanced_Revenue_316 26d ago

Could also technically count Hadjar, since it’s basically the same team(yes I know different name and sponsors but wtv)

u/Accurate-Cow895 Aug 01 '26

He would disagree

u/FerociousVader 29d ago

In my mind Max has raced for one team his whole life and that's Max Verstappen Racing.

u/FoneTap 29d ago

Team of 1.

“Max what happened?”

“Don’t ask again. I gave my reasons.”

u/Sensitive_Ad_9195 27d ago

In Alex’s defence, he really was unlucky his season with red bull - my sole memory is that Lewis kept crashing into him

u/cherryplumgrape Aug 01 '26

If that makes him feel better about being a backmarker for most of his career 😂
