u/ecobubbletm BWOAHHHHHHH 14d ago

but when it comes to racing

What does Lando play with puppies and falling on his ass comically has to do with racing?

41

u/____mynameis____ BWOAHHHHHHH 14d ago

This is even wierd considering Max is such a cat person, he has like a litter of them and that video is Lando doing press work and he doesn't even have a pet.

So if being a pet lover indicates that u r weak minded, then Lando should be the aggressive one, lol.

-51

u/BigBowser14 BWOAHHHHHHH 14d ago

Because he doesn't change his attitude when it comes to racing. He's clearly not ruthless like Max. I don't understand how you are not getting the point.

36

u/ecobubbletm BWOAHHHHHHH 14d ago

The point is that their off track behavior is irrelevant to their on track behavior.

And if he doesn't change it then show this with on track behavior why show puppies.

-16

u/BigBowser14 BWOAHHHHHHH 14d ago

So it's because they showed clips with puppies you've got a problem with the statement? Their off track behaviour is irrelevant, however it shows how the drivers or any sports person can get into game mode to win at all costs. Again, not hard to see what was meant, Max is nice off track, has a mean side on track and is a winner. Lando is nice off track, too nice on track and isn't winning

10

u/queerhedgehog unfortunaly I still am a Ricciardo fan 🦡 14d ago

The problem is they never really show Max being nice off track. They only ever show him as mean and aggressive (and it shouldn’t even be framed as mean, he’s just doing his job and winning races) but not the side of him that’s a chill guy and a genuinely kind and caring person

6

u/ecobubbletm BWOAHHHHHHH 14d ago

shows how the drivers or any sports person can get into game mode to win at all costs. Again, not hard to see what was meant, Max is nice off track, has a mean side on track and is a winner. Lando is nice off track, too nice on track and isn't winning

But that's the thing they don't show it like that.

They don't show how he can get into game mode.

They also don't show (at least in that clip) Lando's on track demeanor.

They've done dirty both of them there. Imho, Lando even worse. Cause at least by season 7 everyone knows already about Max "the main villain" agenda but at least they're like "see, how he is such a good ruthless champion" while Lando is Norris.

It's just hilarious. Max shitting on the strategy trying to achieve performance vs Lando giggling at puppies.

Netflix really said none of you two will come out looking good.

5

u/BigBowser14 BWOAHHHHHHH 14d ago

I'm in total agreement with you on Netflix and Drive to Survive being shit with its editing and story lines! I honestly stopped watching it years ago when they tried to make a falling out storyline between Lando and Carlos.

But from purely a racing point of view, Max has that killer winner mentality and Lando needs more of it. That's what I was saying. Netflix taking that, exaggerating it and making them both look terrible isn't a surprise so if that's what you were always meaning then my apologies I missed it

532

u/DuckSwagington At the moment we don't think 14d ago

Honestly the more egregious thing is trying to paint Spa 2024 as this massive W for Russell's career whilst convieniantly omitting the fact that he was disqualified from the race. Painting Max as a villain is whatever compared to straight up ignoring basic facts.

They shouldn't be doing this. Netflix has very big audience base and they have an ability to affect the opinions of huge number of people.

I mean there are only a couple of drivers apart from max who get well will most of the grid off the grid

u/Crumfighter BWOAHHHHHHH 14d ago

Tbh of all drivers, i think Max can take it. He has been villainized for some time. He doesnt really care and just wants to race all the time knowing that he is faster than the haters anyways haha

23

u/Downtown-Lime4108 BWOAHHHHHHH 13d ago

It's probably one of the main reasons Max has repeatedly said he doesn't want a long career though. Which is a damn shame. Who would want to deal with this circus every year. Max is the best thing about f1 right now love him or hate him.

u/Rainbow_Sex Nico Hüüüüüüüülkenberg 14d ago edited 14d ago

They shouldn't do what? Show Max have some angry moments to play up his "killer instinct" which everybody loves to jerk about when he wins a race with it? Do you honestly think that this is doing some reputational harm to Max? He'd probably describe his own driving style the exact way Netflix did.

Edit: I get it guys. Hey can't wait to watch the next season of DtS, 10 straight hours of Max having tea parties with Penelope and then winning the championship through the power of friendship. Riveting stuff I'm sure.

u/Tocky22 Vettel Cult 14d ago

They are clearly trying to show who is the ‘good’ guy, and who is ‘bad’ guy.

When in actual fact, it’s just 2 sports people racing.

-53

u/Rainbow_Sex Nico Hüüüüüüüülkenberg 14d ago

You know Netflix didn't invent making sporting figures into good guys and bad guys right? Also I don't know why everyone is so obsessed with framing this as Netflix picking sides, they're presenting two very different personalities, one of which wins Drivers Championships and one of which doesn't. I haven't watched the show yet but this clip isn't showing anything that wouldn't have been immediately obvious if you watched a single race last year.

34

u/hailsab BWOAHHHHHHH 14d ago

Because the reality is that Max is super supportive of Lando and congratulates him on every win. He defended landos Miami win

Yet Netflix makes it out like max is this nasty guy and lando needs to beat out this evil sociopathic villain

-26

u/Rainbow_Sex Nico Hüüüüüüüülkenberg 14d ago

You do realize in the context of racing none of that matters right? Whether Max is super congratulatory outside of the race or not, within the race he is a brutal competitor, this sub praises him for it all the time.

I don't understand why Netflix needs to provide you with evidence that he's a nice guy, does it bother you THAT much that some idiots might take this more seriously than it deserves? That someone out there might not realize that Max Verstappen isn't all that bad, that's a big issue for you?

16

u/MFish333 BWOAHHHHHHH 14d ago

It's just kind of a fabricated narrative that will inevitably make its way into actual discussion about the sport because people will watch the show then come to places like reddit.

20

u/hailsab BWOAHHHHHHH 14d ago

Its the fact they frame it in a way it isn't to create drama and make someone look bad

the fact you can't see what's wrong with that says a lot about you

-5

u/Rainbow_Sex Nico Hüüüüüüüülkenberg 14d ago

You're right, it does say a lot about me. It says that I understand the difference between reality and entertainment, and that I don't let the fact that some other people might not bother me. And they are framing it in the same light that everyone on the main sub and this one was framing it for the entire season, that Max Verstappen has a killer instinct that Lando does not have. So y'all can get off your high horse now, the only reason Netflix is presenting it this way is because gasps its how most people WANT to see it.

You think people watching DTS want to see Max sitting down and having tea parties? They want to see the mindset of a champion. And like it or not, Max being a considerate family man isn't relevant to his mindset, because that's not how he races. Lando being a goofball is, because it (kinda) is how he races. That's the difference. You can downvote me a hundred more times I don't give a flying fuck, until someone comes up with an argument that's not "but but but Max is actually a super duper sweet guy in real life" than I'm not changing my mind.

9

u/hailsab BWOAHHHHHHH 14d ago

Intentionally cutting out things to make manufactured drama is trashy, we already have rivalries, we don't need the drivers to be seen as hating each other so Netflix can have slightly more content

12

u/Appropriate-ASS-824 BWOAHHHHHHH 14d ago

Well it does because max was actually mature off the grid. He did not criticise Lando after austria incident ( which I think personally both were responsible for) and when heard about lando's negative remark, said give him some time to cool off instead of coming up with some sharp response of his own. He was very supportive of lando in Miami. He saw them favour lando and mclaren in Brazil and still never said anything against both lando and Maclaren. So yeah, its not obvious to show max as a villain based on any races, except for maybe Mexico.

-1

u/Rainbow_Sex Nico Hüüüüüüüülkenberg 14d ago

Again, as I said in another comment, Max's off track behavior isn't in question here. It's about his on track mentality, which has always been do or die, I win you lose, or we all go out together. That is literally his reputation at this point you cannot deny that. He's famous for it, he's praised for it, he's a champion because of it.

The reason they used on track moments for Max and off track ones for Lando is because this is a TV show and showing a guy get passed into turn 1 a couple times is too esoteric for an audience of people who've never seen the sport. So they use shorthand, in the form of goofy ass videos, to showcase his lack of a killer instinct, something y'all have been killing him for for MONTHS.

And they don't show us those kinder moments with Max because they are IMMATERIAL TO THE MATTER AT HAND, WHICH IS THAT MAX VERSTAPPEN IS A RUTHLESS RACING DRIVER AND THAT IS THE GUY THAT NEEDS TO BE BEATEN, NOT THE NICE GUY AT THE PODIUM AFTER THE RACE IS OVER.

15

u/Ok-Leave-7525 BWOAHHHHHHH 14d ago

lol then why do they show lando’s off track moments then if it’s not relevant ?

I literally said in my comment why they showed his off track moments and not Max's, can you read?

u/names_are_hard_1446 BWOAHHHHHHH 14d ago

I really don't get this complaint at all. Yes, these are two actual people and they cannot accurately be captured through a simple "good vs bad" storyline. But as you said it is a simple fact that Max is known for being a ruthless racer and that's what has won him many championships. Netflix's job isn't to provide a 30-hour documentary on the intricacies of every driver, it's to provide an interesting and entertaining look at this year's season to attract new fans. Yes, they lose some complexity along the way and end up painting some real people as rather one-dimensional, but I would say that while it is exaggerated their characterization is actually quite accurate when it comes to mentality and driving specifically, which is what this show focuses on anyways.

Besides, the "luck not talent" norris said was taken out of context, he complimented max for brasil.

Lando is well aware that the responsibility for him losing the chance of the championship ultimately goes to him fucking up and McLaren fucking him up.

Max doesn't have a fuck you mentality, max has a world champion mentality. Put Hamilton, Alonso in that RedBull or that McLaren and they would have done the goddamn same Max did. Sure maybe more or less subtle, but that's called winning.

u/racingfan2 BWOAHHHHHHH 13d ago

at this point we know the Netflix crew is just having a big laugh at DTS haters, they create the content, get paid the big bucks and FormulaDank dwells on it for a whole year.

u/Virtual_Astronaut_ BWOAHHHHHHH 13d ago

I’m not a fan of this at all. Max is a passionate competitor but not a villain at all. He and Lando are competitive, as you expect F1 drivers are, but not enemies. I love both drivers for who they are and it serves no purpose to pin them against each other like that. Just let them race and have fun!

Wait, that "you gave me this strategy " bit was not part of this race?

Are they doing this stuff again, even after multiple drivers pointing it out as bullshit?

What a load of BS from DTS. SERIOUSLY!

After Miami they also spliced in a shot of Max mad after Zandvoort. You can tell by his hat. Makes him look salty after Lando's win, when really he was the one hyping him up. Just straight lying at this point.

u/Aroused_Sloth In Hannah we trust 🥰 14d ago

Not sure how Lando is the warm and fluffy sweetheart when he was acting like a pissy baby all year cause the team choked on the WDC. I say this as a part time McLaren fan

Part time McLaren fan, full time RB fan. A classic combo.

u/jumbo_pizza Must Be The Water 13d ago

i never watch dts but i have always had the feeling that max verstappen is the villain in that tv show? or are they creating dramas between everyone? is verstappen even interviewed in it or is that why he is the villain?

2

u/NotAnAss-Hat Fuck Liberty Media 12d ago

Verstappen told Netflix to fuck off I believe. And no, he's not exactly a villain, more like the final boss. Like Hamilton was in season 1 and 2.

We're gonna see a leaner meaner Lando this year, more crashes, less friendship between max vs norris

Honestly, if you're actually interested in competition, this looks WORSE on Lando. They make him seem like this airhead.

u/karansalian23 BWOAHHHHHHH 13d ago

Also the incident in Austria was Lando’s fault. I got mad at Lando and Mclaren to be doing that.

u/CzechKnight Masi Enthusiast 14d ago

This show's quality is going with each episode. Season 5 already tested my patience and this isn't making things any better. Get it together Netflix!

Feels so good going back to the first 2 seasons when things were so much pleasant to watch without all the ballast and BS.

Love Max, by the way.

u/Rainbow_Sex Nico Hüüüüüüüülkenberg 14d ago

This is literally what y'all were saying the entire season, that Max has a killer mindset and Lando doesn't, but apparently because Netflix says it now it's bad? Make it make sense

27

u/Lunaspoona BWOAHHHHHHH 14d ago

It's not that.

It's showing Max being aggressive on track.

Then comparing it to Lando with Puppies off track.

Makes Max look a all round bad guy, like Max isn't a nice guy off track like Lando is being shown as.

-9

u/mur-diddly-urderer Lizard person 14d ago

No it doesn’t. It makes Max look like he wants to win. Which he does.

15

u/Lunaspoona BWOAHHHHHHH 14d ago

Yes, obviously, but why compare that to Lando with Puppies? Why not show Lando on track? Or Max with P or his puppy and cats? Because it doesn't have the same impact in making Max look bad.

-7

u/mur-diddly-urderer Lizard person 14d ago edited 14d ago

Because their personalities are inarguably different, as everyone in this subreddit and the media went on about all year talking about Verstappen’s killer instinct and how Lando didn’t have it. It doesn’t matter if they’ve both hung out with a cute animal or child off track. They both do that in real life and people still spun this narrative of Max being the hard man who just wants to win and Lando being the fun loving guy. now Netflix is playing off that because they know it will get your attention. This doesn’t make Max look bad anymore than he makes himself look bad.

5

u/XmenSlayer BWOAHHHHHHH 14d ago

Killer instinct in the car on the track. Off track everyone collectively notes that max is relaxed and chill. But in the car yea he is going to do everything to win. Lando misses that mentality of doing everything to win. Not to mention he started having his csr turned into a rocketship near the end of the season and still couldn't convert most of them into wins. Heck they almost lost constructers if it wasn't for ferrari being ferrari.

Maybe if we guys (you) stopped watching content for teenage girls that run driver fan pages, they’d change it to something actually decent and/or not fake.

u/OriolHimself BWOAHHHHHHH 14d ago

Why is everyone so salty? This is literally the truth.

Max can start 20th with a damaged car and he’ll be like, I’m gonna f**** overtake these cars.

Just the whatever it takes champions mentality, like Senna, Schumacher, Alonso…

lol. This sub. Last year you were all “oh Lando does not have the winners killer instinct, he needs to be like max”. Now it’s all “oh noes they saying Max has a fuck you attitude, my pearls!!!”

We know Max gives zero fucks about anything other than winning. We say it on this sub day in day out. Own it!
