    I agree and another part that made me question what Russell claims is this:

    “I was going to not even race you tomorrow, I was going to let you by”.

    Does that sound like Max Verstappen to you? It doesn’t sound like Max Verstappen to me. GP literally felt the need to tell Max to not race and risk the WDC because Max is a racer first and foremost and he’s not just going to give up a position. He’s going to race and he’s going to make you fight for your position and the only exception to that is if he has a really good reason to let you by (and even team orders isn’t a good enough reason). Considering he’s already won the WDC and there’s nothing to gain (or lose) for the WCC Max was there to race last week, why would he ever choose to not race George and just let him pass? He wouldn’t because that’s not who Max Verstappen is. If he can race he will race.

      “I will purposely go out of my way to put you on your f****** head in the wall”

      This is George speak, this is not something Max said either, it just does not sound right. But if you think about how George would phrase this sentence then it absolutely 100% tracks. This is his version of what he thinks Max would say and sound like and he formulated that sentence in his head, ready to be used in public to try and steer the conversation and “guilt” towards Max.

      The more I think about it the more I realize how much of a snake that little boy george is…

        You think George would say something that grammatically weird in English?

        You’re concocting some weird conspiracy about George making the entire thing up.

        Perhaps the one you should be complaining about is the one who took complaining to the stewards (something which Max also does any time he can gain an advantage, just like any other driver. In fact he did it to Lando literally the day after.) as a reason to throw his toys out of the pram and threaten to crash his competitor out head-first into a wall…

            The irony is incredible. You are the target audience Verstappen is banking on.

            This entire ordeal is the usual behaviour from Max. More of his bullying people bullshit.

              Did…did you just reply with something what could only be described as the equivalent of a 4th grade schoolyard retort?

              Holy crap, how old are you? Scratch that, do not answer, I don’t want to be accused of slapping down a idiotic child.

              Have a great day at school kiddo!

                No, I replied with the retort because you’re clearly projecting.

                You’re here and elsewhere acting like Max can do no wrong and as if this isn’t something he’d say, when it absolutely is. He has form on this, being the most aggressive and dirtiest driver on the grid. You’re also dutch. Clearly you are Verstappen’s target audience.

                Projection is all you have.
