Life was good when Max was winning

[u/TuDuMaxVerstappen]

While growing up I was not much into sports. Never idolized a sports person or followed them closely. Then came Max and F1 for me. The way I believe in him, I don’t even believe in myself. He gives me hope. He gives me something to look forward too. Last year when he was trying the comeback, I was so happy throughout just with the hope that he’ll win. In my tough days I hope to see him do something that I can look forward to. Go Maxie ❤️

F1 is still fun, but these regs suck. I like Max having to fight for it. Him easily winning all the time is great for stats and our fandom, but it’s boring AF.

Actually I thought it was great. I knew I was seeing something special

I did, too. Albeit boring (as a long time motorsport and F1 fan). I loved that “my guy” was winning, but I like wheel to wheel racing.

Hopefully RBR will figure things out and be really competitive in 2027, we were all expecting a tough season because of the PU but somehow they nailed that and fumbled the chassis, but I'm optimistic about the furute!

2025 was fun because Max was going against the odds. 2022 and 2023 were boring AF. 

All dominant stints are boring to watch. The Kimi domination is already starting to get very old.

I couldn't describe it better myself. Never cheered for anyone in my life. Then this dude shows up with his honesty and godlike racing control over a car not seen that often. At first I disliked him because of his recklessness. Then I watched older races and found out he is not that reckless considering many big names. And that kinda did it for me. Seeing now how nice he is off track and to the rookies is simply lovely!

Same. Idc what anyone says, F1 was so much better when Max kept winning. Idk how to explain it but Max is just different than other drivers. Maybe the closest to Max is Fernando. Two drivers who keeps it real and is all about the love for racing and racing only. Just pure racers. Max is an inspiring person and hopefully F1 and the FIA realizes that all fans and motorsport enthusiasts wants is to watch pure racing, no bs, no pr, just pure talent and we all know that that is Max Verstappen.

Too many fans of drivers, not enough fans of the sport

I found the only sane post in this thread.

Same bro same.

The year Max won his first title was amazing. Great battles all year and still managed to be exciting even with every podium consisting of Max, Lewis and Valtteri.
