Max is automatically very happy and giggly around checo😂

[@MikeWoot65]

You can tell he's a good guy.

[@theGoogol]

Around everyone except Lewis, really. In reality Max is a no-nonsense, amicable guy. No-nonsense the Dutch way is a bit hard to swallow for non-Dutch people, though. We're known for being pretty straight forward (even considered rude) but even by our standards, Max is a lot more straightforward and, as our motto goes : Act normal, you're strange enough as it is, he is that pur sang. And we love him for it because he represents the Dutch spirit well. Around Lewis he's respectful but not giggly (although they certainly had their moments).

[@YeetIord]

@@theGoogol why bring Lewis into this? I'm a Max fan but we have to move on, it seems like a huge portion of fans think about Lewis more than Max himself would. Just leave them be.

I guessed all without knowing Dutch, you just need to know Max says the true ones in a slower pace and ends the sentence with lower pitch, while the false ones he goes faster and ends with higher pitch

[@jerriejoen]

it's also that spanish is used way more worldwide, so it is easier to know spanish when you don't speak spanish than it is to know dutch when you don't speak dutch

That is because Spanish is Latin, and a lot of languages on the grid are Latin. Dutch on the other hand is closer relate to German subsects of the language, and German isn't really Latin. The harder languages tend to be Indo-European and not latin.

I like how Max handles language. Even though you know only a little about a language, when you know certain keywords you can reconstruct meaning. That's almost impossible with Dutch reverbs, though ^_^

[@stackercoding2054]

Damn I love how this two get along so good with each other, from my point of view they are the best duo of the grid, not only because of their friendship but how well they fit as teammates when it comes to racing. Thank you so much RedBull for believing in Checo at the end of 2020

I liked Max's support for Checo with the insane Dutch idioms during this video, too. The team relationship does actually work the other way around, as well.

I love Checo BUT : He should fear for his seat. Nyck de Vries might be / is coming to Alpha Tauri and Checo's contract ends end of next year.

@@thandontantiso3744 We don't really know what is going on. So we cannot judge. But people these days tend to focus on others and judge without knowing exactly what is going on. Especially with winners of course.. Red Bull wants to keep some things behind closed doors so they don't provide insight in what really happened. What we know is that there was an internal conflict that wasn't resolved. Checo hasn't exactly been a saint either.. Max's message didn't land well with most of us though. It is unfortunate how this played out. It seems things have finally been properly discussed now within the entier team and all are on the same mission again. We are all human, sometimes our strengths have elements that can make us week in other situations. We are all learning and growing still.

Also Spanish is like the 3rd language of the world? I don't know where Dutch would come in on that list, but it would be a lot lower. So, it makes sense that a lot more people know (some) Spanish (words), than there are people that know Dutch words. I mean, when was it if ever that a Dutch song became a world-wide hit?

"choro" es una palabra vieja (80's tal vez?) es una plabra similar a "rollo" cuando la frase es acerca de hablar, en ambos casos significa lo mismo: dar un discurso largo y aburrido ("aventar un choro") Lol

[@EAGLEBLACKInquisido]

@@vaznatt @guillermomartinez8471 It seems they translated "Choro" as a "Mussel" which, to be fair, it also translates to, but: A) It's certainly not what it is used for in that saying and B) It's not that common to use the word "choro" in Spanish to refer to a "mussel" (I even had to look it up to confirm that it was a mollusc as well) unless you are someone who works/trades with them. For context: "Te avienta un choro" would normally refer to "It gives you a lecture*/discourse*". *Choro is like a slang/informal way of referring to an unnecessarily long and rambling monologue about something. Safe to say by Checo's face that it caught him off guard as well, he probably didn't even know what a "Mussel" was.
