Red Bull’s car isn’t built for Max Verstappen—it’s built for pure aerodynamic efficiency. It’s a wind-tunnel-perfect machine, designed with a razor-sharp front end and optimized by the team’s aerodynamicists (formerly Adrian Newey, for example) to maximize performance and tire management.
The difference with Max is that he adapts better than anyone to a car in its purest, fastest form. While most drivers require adjustments—less aggressive front-end response, softer rear stability, or reduced tire wear—Max thrives with minimal changes. The car that is theoretically fastest in the wind tunnel? He can drive that as is.
That’s why the idea that Red Bull “designs the car around Max” is misleading. Every team develops cars suited to their drivers, but Verstappen simply demands less compromise. When Alex Albon said, “The car is what it is,” this is what he meant. The Red Bull is not built for Max—it just so happens that Max is the one who can extract its full potential without needing it tamed.

i always appreciate you for not giving a fuck about the f1 wags. you always put my thoughts about f1 wags into words and i love that you don't give any shit about it (you said what you've said and i love you for that). i also don't care about the f1 wags, but some fans try to mix the professional and personal aspects of the drivers' life during the race and it's starting to anger me lol.
"oh max wins because kelly is there! she's his lucky charm!" "oh charles wins because alexandra is there to watch him race!" "oh how sweet that rebecca is waiting for carlos and look carlos kissed her!" for fucks sake people, can you at least acknowledge the cars that the team has built and developed and the talent that they showed throughout the race? you can't always say that a certain driver's winning a race just because their "supposed to be lucky charm" is there. they drove beautifully during the race and they so much deserve that win and their! talent! should! be! acknowledged!
i think it's because some of the f1 fans now are teenage girls-early 20s women (i join an f1 discord and tbh i was shocked to see that most of the accounts there are still late teens-early 20s). i believe they tend to focus on the private aspects of the drivers' life (and frankly, also the physical aspect of the drivers' appearance), rather than the technical and talent aspects of the drivers' professional life. and tbh i kinda "understand" because at their age, i was also focused a lot onto my idol's face and personal life rather than their achievements. so yeah, it's funny that at the start i say i'm bothered but i also acknowledge this kind of behaviour because i was like that too when i was at their age lol.
but i like that your account is a save space for me to enjoy f1 drivers as f1 drivers, and i hope you continue to be like this. i sadly have to block a lot of blogs that post and praise a lot of f1 wags (i like their posts but i don't want to see any of f1 wags around my dash, no matter how much i like them, so yeah, judge me all you want but i have my own preferences). i personally am bot bothered to always see them in team kits or racesuits or just seeing them during the race weekends, because that helps me a lot to see them only as f1 drivers.
personal opinion but i dont need the broadcast to cut to a wag looking at the tv a hundred times while dying from stress whether if my driver will lose position or not. or trying to keep up with the grand prix scrolling on the race's tag to see a wag post 3rd 4th most popular instead of actual racing. and give the guys their privacy... i dont want to know which country Max is at for holidays through nonconsensual pap pics unless he wants to share it with the rest of the world.

Raymond Vermeulen in Formule1 magazine, edition 3, 2025
"Max is a world star based on what he does on track. He feels no need to do anything, like fashion for example, outside of that. He wants to be the best, as long as it fits, like with his GT-team. He doesn't like malarkey, such as you see here [ed. Melbourne] at the track. He feels uncomfortable with that." Vermeulen continues: "To give you an example: Max was in Milan for a bit last week to work with the GT-team. Then he sits among the mechanics in a truck, eating a bread roll, and he's in his element and comes back home to Monaco completely happy."
[...]
"Of course Max has changed in the past few years, in the sense that he's become a man. He always had the final say but besides that he now also has a clear vision," Vermeulen states. "As in: this is how I want to work and that's how we're going to do it. He does what makes him happy. Which he is. He doesn't need much guidance any more. Figuratively speaking he's now sat himself behind the wheel and is making the decisions."
[...]
The dominance of Red Bull has been past for a while. But for Verstappen that secretly makes the challenge all the bigger, Raymond Vermeulen admits. "The car itself is at the development ceiling so Max is going to have to make the difference himself. It's going to be a very exciting season. Look, Max will say he prefers winning races with a ten, twenty second lead, like it happened often in the past. But I think that as a racer he will enjoy this season immensely even though he won't say it out loud."
