That lap at Bathurst is ridiculous. I am not a Max fan, but that is a different level. 0.5 second in sim world is massive, really massive.
I think in single lap pace he could be the best ever. I hope when he is 30+ he becomes like the later-life Seb Vettel that we all cherished.
Yes, his one-lap pace has certainly never been in doubt. His wheel-to-wheel abilities have been, and rightly so.I think in single lap pace he could be the best ever. I hope when he is 30+ he becomes like the later-life Seb Vettel that we all cherished.
As you suggest, it will be interesting to see how he develops personally. I actually think, considering who he has around him, that he could be a lot worse than he is. He seems pretty inoffensive to me, on the whole.

And his ability to race cleanly or fairly full stop, brake testing Lewis for example, but then with "My Nose is Growing but we have the Data and Max did not Brake Test Lewis" Marko running the show, I guess that won't change.

Max taking out his anger over finishing 2nd in Saudi on iRacing.
9 one hour long races in 2 days in public lobbies winning every single one
These are top splits so the competition is the top 1% skill wise in the world on the game.
So, what you're saying is he's quite a good driver then? 9 one hour long races in 2 days in public lobbies winning every single one

Simply cherry picking historical events in isolation, to use to reinforce a biased argument is illogical, and very transparent in this thread.

So, what you're saying is he's quite a good driver then? I saw elsewhere that in 2019 the day before he left for Monza he did 14 online races - that's about 10hrs continuous then even raced online on the Sunday morning of the GP itself.
Alonso is fairly active on iRacing too and very good
but for some reason mainly sticks to Mazda MX5 races!
I do think Max and Alonso are very very similar in their obsession with racing.
Would love to see them endurance race together at LeMans.

If you think that’s casually placed there and not very deliberately done I’ve got some magic beans to sell you, 
He’s even got it perfectly aligned for his head height.
The location is casual even if the intention isn't. He’s even got it perfectly aligned for his head height.
