Max is most likely on his way to becoming one of the all time greats, if not the all time great, but what he lacks is integrity, charisma and humility. Poor role model IMHO...

Autosport has been around since 1950 and is one of the most respected motorsport journals in the world.

Max Verstappen has also won the Autosport International Racing Driver of the Year Award for the past 4-years...as voted for by readers...so much for this bias that haunts you. The Autosport Awards are highly prestigious as well.

German Mafia :ROFL:
Or am I confusing it with "AUTO MOTOR UND SPORT" ?

Well must they give the award to someone that did not win the title, that would be awkward?
You fail to mention how many British awards are included in their award ceremony?

Why? Must he just sit and smile while being attacked for years by the British press?
All Videos of him I have seen outside of the track, with fellow drivers, sponsors, his girlfriend and her kid, he seems a pretty nice and fun guy.

Not always.

Mansell got it in 86, 87 and 93, Alesi got it in 89, Hill in 94, Montoya in 2003, Button in 2004, Raikkonen in 2005 and Hamilton in 2007.

They have both International and National categories. The International Award is joint oldest and the most prestigious of them. The National award also doesn't go to anyone competing in an international series, so no active British F1 driver has ever won it and a foreigner competing in a national British series can also win it (example: Takuma Sato won the National award for his success in British Formula 3). Last year the best British driver as voted for was the national touring car champion and not Norris, Russell or Hamilton.
 
Verstappen punting Le Clerc off the track in Austria back in 2018 or whatever always occurs to me whenever he has one of these incidents.
By allowing that incident, the precedent was set and here we are years later wondering when he'll be reined in

I disagree. Max does more for the sport than any other driver. Even runs a development team. He lives and breathes driving. It's easy to judge from an armchair; the reality is out on the track it's full on war and at blinding speeds. In the moment these things happen - same as a brawl on the rugby field. If anyone in F1 is dropping the ball it's Hamilton; he's not behaving like he used to.

F1 should not be soft. This PG era shyte is ruining the sport. Cant swear, no grid girls, can't race hard, everyone's feefee's are hurt when they collide..

True, sorry for my language but Ham has turned into a bit of a wuss. He needs to be more aggressive. Like Max.

Can't swear: Agreed, this is stupid.

No grid girls: I mean, I miss the German grid girls in their traditional outfits, but I understand why it was done.

Can't race hard: I mentioned this in another post, but I grew up with 90s touring cars and NASCAR where swapping paint and aggressive driving was the norm. But I can see why it doesn't really work the same way in F1. In touring cars, you can lose a bumper or side mirror roughing up another driver (and that happened a lot, the number of times you'd see a touring car dragging its bumper around)) and not lose any real car performance. And because a driver could almost always carry on after being punted, he could return the favour, so you had these running battles where you could be aggressive but then expect to have your own medicine a few corners or laps later. In F1, the slightest bump can break a wing, or worse, suspension component and end someone's race, and even a busted wing end plate can impact a car's performance. There is a very small window where you can be aggressive in F1 before someone's race is ruined and how much do you tolerate before intent starts creeping in, as we saw with Max deliberately running into Russell. The speed in F1 also complicates this. Drivers have split seconds to make decisions; hence the laws try and enforce a sense of predictability (move once, no moving under braking, etc). You can't behave like a moron in a braking zone where drivers have mere seconds to react to something.

Yeah ask Max. You’d swear he lost a limb at Silversone.

every single one of your comments is "....but Max"

WTF is going on in your head??? are you unstable

every great sportstar operates at a much higher level than you or I. Do you think Senna wasn't violent? FFS he punched Eddie Irvine for overtaking him! Do you think Schumacher wasn't angry? He wanted to beat up Coulthard in the pits! Do you think Hamilton hasn't exploded before or taken out drivers? Vettel? You think McEnroe didn't go bonkers? Or cricket players, rugby players, NFL, Baseball etc etc etc.

You clearly are the poofta eyebrow George type, they will never be greats, they may win a few races here and there but that's all they will ever be, just like Coulthard, Brundle, Bottas, Irvine, Berger etc they will never be greats of the sport.... they're good, not great.

Move on with your constant dribble 24/7 and actually talk about more interesting things in F1, FML FML FML
