Just because something is true doesn't mean you have to be an arrogant douche and say it.
Especially when the guy is fighting for his/a seat. That should be kept behind closed doors if it is going to be said at all.

Negative .

MAX says what "everybody has been thinking all season long" But when he says it out loud it's harsh ? This is top sport and Albon simply doesn't perform on a level that's acceptable. It's just not good enough and I see no reason to sugar coat that message when asked !

Albon was very lucky that Perez got bad luck with his blown PU , otherwise he wouldn't finish on P3 anyway ..
And actually Albon is very lucky that 51% of the Red Bull shares are Thai !
Otherwise he wouldn't be any longer in that RB seat ! But the clock is ticking..
Albon got already enough chances to show his performance on the track ..
So , NO excuses are required in this situation ..

Haha that and more.

I believe the Redbull camp to be ran rather authoritarian and see the evidence in this exchange. Albeit I could be perceiving what I want and it merely is Max's opinion, I see helmet and Horner in that response.

Easily the most toxic environment on the grid. As long as they have Darth Marko in a leadership position, they will continue to Dark Side young drivers careers and encourage the kind of drivel that Max spreads around. Sad.

then it can be a nice idea not using Albon as a test driver and build car just a bit less Max biased..

Plain and simple, HE didn't need to say it or anything. Do you go around your office telling people who sucks and who doesn't publicly?

.
Positive mate .
I have to do it at the company . By quarterly evaluations on paper .And weekly meetings .
If the third evaluation is still bad . They know what will follow ..
Publicly ?
Of course ! The paper will be displayed on the companies information board , why the person in question is fired and will be subject in the next meeting .
Note : Since this year I tolerate more , because the people are working during a damn COVID pandemic !
Quarantines , social distance , mouth masks , gloves, disinfect everything everyday , is no joke !

If "MY" performance is bad at the company .Even I would be fired as well..
The today's life and work performance at the companies is not a charity or a Disneyland !
Same in professional motorsports ...

If Max and Red Bull want to be competing for the constructor's championship, they needs a teammate that's not 30-40 seconds behind Max. If Albon's feelings are hurt that Max is pointing that out, too bad. Max isn't there to be his friend, and he's just stating what everyone else already knows.

Don't be worried guys !
Next weekend the Merc's pace will be even faster ..

Other parts of the Bahrain circuit will be used in Bahrain-part 2 (Sakhir-GP)
In other words : Now the longer straights will be part of the track .
By the longer straights the Merc's advantage is even bigger by the Merc's higher topspeed !

Last weekend MAX could it hold up (a little bit) but he had to ran with lack of wing and downforce .
MAX had to run with a lack of grip ,in a dangerous situation to gain in topspeed ..
But HAM ran out of sight anyway.. That's how fast the Merc W11 actually is !

Next weekend for MAX , run with lower downforce won't enough anymore . Because the Mercs will run also with lower downforce to get an even higher topspeed on the longer straights .

Max said today (PM) : At Sakhir our topspeed is not high enough . I don't expect anything at Sakir !


Congrats for HAM at Sakhir guys !

Everything is too PC nowadays, and everything is worse off because of it. Too much milk toast, wishy washy, nothing in your face anymore which is what keeps sports entertaining. If there are no rivals, nobody to hate, nobody to love, it's just BORING. It's why I watch next to zero sports anymore.

Max is entertaining and a Max is sorely needed in every sport. Even if you hate the guy, that makes him great because there's something to root against. There are no more John McEnroe's, Bill Laimbeer's, Terrell Owens, Barry Bonds, Schuey vs. McLaren, etc. Sports the world over has turned into nothing but corporate plain vanilla boringness, everybody loves everybody, everybody gets a trophy, we're all so amazingly talented, blah blah BLAH. Show me some HATE and some passion!

Show me the Pistons walking off the court without shaking hands after the Bulls finally dispatched them in four straight games. Give me Ron Artest jumping in the stands during the Malice at the Palace and causing a riot! Give me George Brett rampaging out of the dugout like a crazed mad man because of too much pine tar. Give me John McEnroe destroying the drink stand courtside at Wimbledon while all the swells sit there with mouths agape! Give me Mike Tyson threatening to eat peoples' children! Give me Schuey stalking Coulthard in the pits at Spa after he brake checked him and ruined his easy win! Give me Dennis Rodman kicking a court side camera man in the nuts! Give me Sammy Sosa sweating bullets and roided out of his mind, hitting ball after ball 500 ft. Give me Tonya Harding hiring a hit man to whack Nancy Kerrigan's knee so she'd make the Olympic team! Give me anything but this boring crap we have in all sports today!

All sports are so horribly repetitive, you need the villains and heroes to give you something to cheer for and the personalities are what make the historical moments.

I hope Max keeps that edge in a soft, and ever softening by the day world.
