Really glad I stuck with it, but a big part of that was having an emotional, talented young driver in Verstappen who didn't play nice due to his passion and drive to win. Sure as a purist it probably comes off arrogant and unsportsmanlike, but to a casual fan it was something actually happening from time to time. Made it more exciting.
Verstappen is interesting. I don’t hate him all the time. I respect his skill. Same as I respect Hamilton.

But sometimes Max just does such idiotic things on track it infuriates me.

It’s what makes F1 so interesting to me. I rag on Max and Hamilton quite often but the truth of it is I like everybody on the grid. And it’s fun to be able to watch a sport where I cheer for everyone. I just want good racing. Although I do have favorites.
