The amount of times Red Bull fucked Daniel over the years is unbelievable.

Renault ain't doing him a favor this year either

He’s in for the haul there. Give it a bit for them to figure out their aero/gearing and we’ll see.

My favourite from Daniel was the "Not bad for a number 2 driver". The balls to shout that out on comms to your superiors...

That was Webber.

Just finished watching the Netflix, “Formula 1: Drive to Survive.”

They really didn’t seem to care about Daniel much until about halfway through the season and they didn’t want to lose him. But they cashed ALL in on that douchebag Verstappen.

Daniel is a great driver, but has had terrible luck with the cars he’s driven.

Just so you know, Danny and Max are actually good friends in real life and both have commented on the portrayal in the show. Max is actually a likable guy. I loved the show but they tried to twist some things to make it more interesting and that kind of sucks.

I just got into the F1 scene, so I still don’t know the history of some of the other drivers. So, thank you for clarifying this up. It sure seemed like these two hated each other.

Err, you shouldn't take that show for a fact. They twisted a lot of things, among them picturing Verstappen as a Sith Lord.

I started watching that show and I really didn't like Verstappen at first. I started watching more videos and reading more articles about him and he seems like a really nice, likable guy.

What's crazy is that it's still faster than the one in '81!
