I'd like to see Max racing outside of the Redbull umbrella; the mark of a true great has always been WDC with multiple teams.

Since when? Senna is regarded as the best ever and he won all his titles at McLaren.

Because I said so.

So it's nonsense.

Yes and no - but it's an interesting benchmark, bit like doing the tripple...few have managed it.

You mean the Triple Crown? I think that's only been done once.

I think if Max has enough piss me off juice (his best motivation), he’s going to be hard to beat - anyplace. I’m not sure how he’s doing it in iRacing or whatever SIM racing is called. Most I’ve talked to say it‘s pretty hard. Other makes/brands are using (paying $$$ healthily) him for testing. I think we’re not alone in assuming he’d be pretty solid anywhere.

He's already proven it the other day by beating the GT3 lap record by 5 seconds on his first try ?

The guy is unbelievable lol.

I can see him going to Aston Martin with a contract clause to race the Valkyrie AMR at Le Mans.

I was going to mention it but you already did. I showed the wife ofc, to feed her already overboard obsession ? of Max GOAT status. It used to be me ? (in my hause at least ?).

I hope it’s Mercedes. Toto seems better matched to Max and his family values of for the sport. As long as they have Lance in there, everyone knows what comes 1st, it ain’t racing. The rest is a mirage imo, until they do that. Let Lance go and enjoy his rich life. Daddy needs to put the team 1st and get two amazing drivers. Until then, Mercedes would be the most logical.

In all seriousness, you don’t have to convince me my Dutch brotha. Hopefully he can make it as long as Hamilton. But time is ticking & these youngins are hongry. Lewis & Alonso being mega exceptions but not the norm. I’m sure he knows that as well. Question being can he convince RB to match his level of expectations and stop screwing around with all this 2nd seat drama and get their house in order? I dunno ?‍

he meant the Kentucky Derby, then two weeks later win the Preakness Stakes, and then three weeks later win the Belmont Stakes.

last one that did it was Justify in 2018.

wait… what are we talking about????

Lol, the Triple Crown in racing is winning the Monaco Grand Prix, Indy 500, and 24 Hours of Le Mans. Only Graham Hill has done it.

haha. I know. I was joking.
Interesting fact:

Juan Pablo Montoya, Colombian ?? legend, someone I happen to know in person, won the Indy x2, if I’m not mistaken, also won Le Mans and won Monaco.

EDIT: well… technically, he won Le Mans in his category, but not overall. So maybe the has the 2.5 crown. ???
Still a legend tho.

Yeah he was great in his day. Loved watching him fight Schumacher.
