Just been doing some reading about Jos Verstappen. He’s clearly not a very nice personality.

He has a history of violence against other drivers and his wives. A 5 year suspended sentence for fracturing a man’s scull and Even an attempted murder charge against his ex wife.

You can see where Max’s attitude comes from.

Jos the Toss

Didn’t he come from the slums of Stevenage?

Ghetto I think.
But he did have a very average upbringing and his dad was instrumental in his development making huge sacrifices to support his son.

Mercedes reportedly considering putting a fresh power unit in Hamilton's car and accepting the 5 place grid penalty that would follow.

Yes I found some similar reports when I did a bit of investigation . I wonder if his dad has an impact on things whilst he's at the race ?

I think that the culture Max has 'grown up' in both at home and also in Red Bull has been wholly toxic in terms of his development.

I went on record several years ago as saying that I thought Max would never have the maturity as a racer to be able to win a WDC across a season. I hope I'm right - at least across this season. If you think about it (or better still, watch Karun C's excellent little piece here)

Max would be just about home and hosed already if he'd backed out at Silverstone and played the season-long game.

Excellent exposure of Verstappen’s deliberately dangerous approach to racing.

You know when you do something really, really stupid?

Like allow your wife to book family tickets for an event, said event starting at 13.00 on 12th December?

That'll be me then

Don't think you'll make it there in time for the start.

I laughed.

Then remembered

Taking the wife to the opera and meeting her family for Sunday lunch.

This has been my view also. He's grown up being told he's fantastic, the best etc, no one has ever told him "no" - which is why he behaves the way he does. Very much like Ayrton Senna in fact.

The very best drivers e.g. Prost, Lauda were known for playing the long game. Max isn't even on the same planet as these guys. He is undoubtedly ridiculously fast, but hasn't developed that nous. And until he does...
