[@mgecko2959]

@@wazowski97 you always see me? Or you discovered this sport two weeks ago and going through every video you can find? How does what feel exactly? You think somehow part of Daniel's career where he started declining somehow invalidates what he has done when he was paired with Max? He beat Max in 2016 by some 30 points, same in 2017 and in 2018 he was leading Max by almost as much until he refused to sign #2 driver contract and didnt finish ahead of Max since incuding 6 dnfs in 12 consecutive races plus 3 grid penalties all related to reliability. Same was then with Gasly who scored as many points in 12 races for RB as he did following year in first 12 races for AT. So how do i feel about it? Same !! Max so far proved nothing except for the fact that if you have by far fastest car and team that favour you over your teammate you can cruise to championship. So it was never about hate but facts, however you first need to watch as many races as i seen full seasons to even qualify for debate on this sport, you are likely van casual or SA casual
