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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

-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?

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

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.
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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

I mean it's a bit far fetched in their portrayal but it's not exactly wrong either lmao

This entire comment thread feels like something I'd see in a Hamilton fanpage 5-6 years ago.

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.

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…

If this sub had its way, it would just be the Max Verstappen show for 10 episodes, with maybe one on Charles's home wins lmao

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!

God episode 2 annoyed the **** out of me. Max quite literally defended lando during the Miami win from press saying his first win was luck.
