GP deserves immense respect for his result as engineer, look at what Ferrari does to Charles and Carlos all the time. If GP was ever that sloppy he’d be gone. GP is the “Max Verstappen” of onboard engineers because he elevated his game to Max. They are synchronized to a point where it’s GP, Horner and MV1 vs the rest of the grid. Other teams need to take notice and achieve that level of flow state

[@braindump1446]

Imagine Max being paired with Xavi..... Max: "This is shit! We need to do 'X'." Xavi: "We are checking." Max: "What?! ..... Hello!?! ..... F#%$! F&*^%!!!!"

[@thecompanioncube4211]

Max's comment about him not expecting replies like "Understood" felt a direct jab at Ferrari engineers. Ferrari communication is abysmal man...

[@fretlessfender]

Ferrari is unbelievable at times... GP would not stand it I'm sure... he would single-handedly reorganise the whole organisation. He is nice enough when he is happy, but I think when he's angry he is a force to reckon with. He would pull it off in the end I think....

[@jaguatiricaimediata5305]

Max is so incredible that he has elevated one race engineer (Gianpiero Lambiase) one car engineer (Calum Nicolas) and one strategy engineer (Hannah Schmitz) to the status of quasi-celebrities in the sport...Once behind the scenes, these fellas are now stealing the scenes because Max mentions them all the time and ensures that everyone knows his success is a collective effort. As a Brazilian who have no one to support directly, I have been in awe with Max since he has arrived in F1, and while I still don't support anyone in particular, he has my utmost admiration both as an athlete and as a person and I wish Max and his team so well.

[@janzwendelaar907]

Calum has ran with it. Hannah and GP seem to want to stay in the background still as much as possible

Over time not only the amount of points increased but also the number of positions still scoring points as well as the gap between 1st and 2nd changed up and down. For example Michael Schumacher scored 17 podiums out of 17 races in 2002 collecting 144 of maximum 170 points = 84.71%. However if the 2003 point system (awards more points behind the winner) would have been used Schumacher would have collected 156 of maximum 170 points = 91.76% Additionally up to 1990 the driver championship was decided not by the result of all races but the result of a driver best races. Ascari in 1952 won 6 out of 8 races and the best 4 results counted so he scored 36 out of 36 possible = 100% but counting all races he scored 54 out of 72 = 75%. Jim Clark achieved similar in 1963 and 1965 winning 7 and 6 races respectively out of 10 races with the best 6 results counting so both years he scored 54 out of 54 possible. Currently and in the past extra points were awarded for example for fastest lap during the race and since 2021 sprint races were introduced offering even more points. So at the moment Michael Schumacher is the record holder with 84.71% from all main race points. Max Verstappen however is going to break this record as currently after 20 of the 22 races he has scored 94.20% of all main race points (471 / 500). If you add the sprint race and fastest lap results into the total as well he has scored 92.25% of all available points (524 / 568)." - Verstappen has almost 93%, beating Schumacher.

[@steveb_]

As a person who loves motorsport, engineering, aerodynamics and ofc RBR team I love to hear GP's insights as I want to become on race engineer maybe even someone's personal engineer! Thanks for making this happen, it has been amazing to hear all the race stuff!

[@MrFloppyHare]

Go for it, kid!

[@suicidalbanananana]

Definitely strive for it if you have the opportunity! Really cool career and also pretty sure the paychecks are nice hehe 👍

[@midas7394]

This is the type of working relationship that unites the RB team into the juggernaut they have become. Maximum respect to both guys as they are cleanly 'on top' of their game and work well together irrespective of the curve balls each race throws at them.

[@valydobos6485]

My favorite interview of the year! Simply lovely to see G.P. up front and hear his clear voice 😊 Also Max seems more relaxed when chatting with G.P. alongside him 🙂

[@PortuguesePirate99]

The fact tthat Max has said hes willing to drive in Endurance has literally proved everything ive been saying for years haha. This man will take Fernando's crown of being the best driver ever, people will argue saying that Alonso has only 2 titles but forget the achievements outside of F1 which arent easy in the slightest. The ability they both have to just jump in any car and make it competetive and outdrive the limits of it is just unreal and people are too blind to see and appreciate greatness. Too busy looking at instagram followers and connections in the fashion world and when you compare that with pure racing talent that these 2 have its just levels above any other driver we have ever seen in any series

[@GriotDNB]

Oh he will be driving WITH Alonso some time in the future. I am absolutely positive about that.

[@PortuguesePirate99]

@GriotDNB i hope so, the things Max will learn from Fernando will make him even more unstoppable than he already is so im completely here for it

[@Topota_Madre_]

It’s so refreshing to read someone who actually knows what they’re talking about. Alonso is an absolute beast who’s dominated at every division he’s raced and, even though I’m team Alonso-Perez-Sainz-Norris, Max has an uncanny ability to quickly adapt to to different challenges he faces.

[@Reaz399]

Max is taking Schumacher‘s crown of being the best driver ever. Alonso is great but he was never as good as Schumi/Senna in their prime and never as good as current Max, be serious here.

[@pear4576]

I don't think Fernando is overlooked anymore as much after this season. It seems everyone is a fan of him and loves it when he does well. He's clearly one of the best drivers ever and honestly, it's weird how he's only got 2 titles. The man should've probably had at least 5. His bad luck has lost him a lot as well, but seeing him drive as well as he does in an Aston Martin right now is quite amazing. I think a lot of people are hoping for Aston Martin to get their shit together next year for the entire year not just the start. Idk if they would have what it takes to beat Red Bull and Verstappen, but I sure as hell hope Alonso can finish in second place and maybe pick up a few race wins... I'd love to see him stay in the sport for a few years as well, man is an absolute legend and a joy to watch.

[@pmia23]

Max is a legend, I love him. His relationship with GP is both wholesome and hilarious, but he's always thanking his team for their hard work and emphasizing how everything he achieves is also THEIR achievement. What a team ♥

[@brucecooley4170]

Max with in house interviewer=good vibe! May not be best PR guy, but no BS and definite champions mentality. He also tends to understate his success, not a self promoter, never brags and always credits team for his success.

[@OnionChoppingNinja]

2 things I like about GP: First he's crystal clear. No miscommunications with him, you know exactly what he tells you or asks of you. Unlike that broken google translate engineer poor Charles has to deal with every race. And unlike the race engineer of "that other multiple world champion" that shall remain nameless he's not a spineless yes man. Max starts whining on the radio, GP tells him to shut up and drive.

[@hankrearden5460]

That's what i like about GP he pushes back on Max when other engineers would be shitting themselves. I think Max in turn would be mad if he didn't cause it would just cost them if they were not doing this.

[@ericvandruten]

"Just keep your head down, Max. We're in this together" comes to mind. Legends!

[@jackjon7763]

Max strikes me as the guy who would fire a yes man. He seems like he’d rather you tell him the truth than bs him

[@suckieduckie]

Especially the relationship between Lewis and Bonno seems a little weird sometimes when things don't go Lewis' way. I remember Imola 2022 when Lewis was complaining about his car, which was indeed crap, but Bonno didn't say a word. It took Toto begging him to drive the car to make him shut up.

[@OnionChoppingNinja]

@@suckieduckie my point exactly. I've been watching Red Bull for years now, I can't recall I've ever heard Christian come on the radio before the race was over. Not even during the heated days between Vettel and Webber.

[@ugurcankoc6605]

Gp and Max you are the best. The best race engineer and the best driver combination. We are so Lucky to watch what you are doing absolutely fenomenal

Waaw Waaw Waaw! What an incredible podcast. The best ever. I'm a Max-fan, but I love GP. So cool. Finally an interview from Max together with GP! Thank youuuuuuu!!

[@the_fleeing_dutchman]

The podcast every RB fan has been waiting for!! The only disappointment was, that it was too short. Could have listened to this for a few hours. Thank you RB!

[@yeoldeyoungin9745]

I love that Max is only ever in racing clothes or a white tee shirt and jeans! Just a dude who loves to race (and win)

[@Chyeahokay]

He is the world champion of one of the biggest f1 teams ever. He HAS to wear/promote the brand for all media sessions…

[@gorgonzola8084]

Legends says he has a Red Bull pyjama. Super Max

[@tomsky9781]

The Johnny Bravo of F1😂

[@svdlaan]

When Max sits down with Dutch interviewers for longer interviews usually in informal quarters (which happens far to little) he wears his own casual clothing and those are the most interesting, going back together (and with his dad) way longer than the 'global fame era', for example when they discuss his personal development with the ups and downs, that familiarity and the lack of a language barrier lets Max open up (and show his sharp sense of humour) even better than in chats like these. Those can be found on YT but sadly hardly ever subtitled in English.

[@hansolo2121]

@@Chyeahokay No Verstappen doesn't have to wear anything he doesn't want to. Just look at Hamilton he has been wearing HUGE EGO clown outfits for years and years when he was driving the only car on the grid that could win. It is down to personality not contracts what clothes each drivers wears. These are millionaires, they have the freedom to choose what to wear. Some like Verstappen don't 'really care. Some like Hamilton really do care a lot yet they dress like a 15 years old!!!

[@rafiarehmat3292]

Like as Max says I am also not a big fan of podcasts because of their time length, this was my first ever podcast and I literally wished it was 3 hours or maybe more than that. Thank you so much guys for giving us this ❤❤❤

[@Fulltilt1973]

Max definitely has grown up, nevertheless GP is a legend for putting up with that level of intensity.

Max is pretty close to a cyborg. Very few sportspeople have such singular determination. Unbelievable representation of when innate giftedness is combined with unflinching dedication.
