Finally the Max Verstappen Podcast is real!❤️

GP deserves immense respect for his result as engineer, look at what Ferrari does to Charles and Carlos all the time. If GP was ever that sloppy he’d be gone. GP is the “Max Verstappen” of onboard engineers because he elevated his game to Max. They are synchronized to a point where it’s GP, Horner and MV1 vs the rest of the grid. Other teams need to take notice and achieve that level of flow state

GP should use his voice for audiobooks or a movie or something. I love hearing his voice (and he's also a solid dude too!)

Max is an absolute machine. Love to see GP when he’s not speaking into Max’ ear at a race! They really get along well, I’m loving this.

Max is so incredible that he has elevated one race engineer (Gianpiero Lambiase) one car engineer (Calum Nicolas) and one strategy engineer (Hannah Schmitz) to the status of quasi-celebrities in the sport...Once behind the scenes, these fellas are now stealing the scenes because Max mentions them all the time and ensures that everyone knows his success is a collective effort. As a Brazilian who have no one to support directly, I have been in awe with Max since he has arrived in F1, and while I still don't support anyone in particular, he has my utmost admiration both as an athlete and as a person and I wish Max and his team so well.

Enjoy this run while its happening guys. This is history in the making. Max, GP, Hannah Schmitz, Adrian Newey. Insane powerhouse.

Max is a very funny guy, only his absolute domination of F1 causes people to dislike him

This is an interview I've always been hoping for ! GP is the unsung hero. What a team they make. 👑👑

The nice thing with Max is that there is no drama and he is balanced as a person.

The Man, The Myth, The Legend... Gianpiero Lambiase.

"Not a fan of podcasts" the man hosts one every race weekend in the cooldown room lmao

They've both embraced the martial arts philosophy. Striving for perfection, but acknowledging to themselves that perfection is impossible.

Over time not only the amount of points increased but also the number of positions still scoring points as well as the gap between 1st and 2nd changed up and down. For example Michael Schumacher scored 17 podiums out of 17 races in 2002 collecting 144 of maximum 170 points = 84.71%. However if the 2003 point system (awards more points behind the winner) would have been used Schumacher would have collected 156 of maximum 170 points = 91.76% Additionally up to 1990 the driver championship was decided not by the result of all races but the result of a driver best races. Ascari in 1952 won 6 out of 8 races and the best 4 results counted so he scored 36 out of 36 possible = 100% but counting all races he scored 54 out of 72 = 75%. Jim Clark achieved similar in 1963 and 1965 winning 7 and 6 races respectively out of 10 races with the best 6 results counting so both years he scored 54 out of 54 possible. Currently and in the past extra points were awarded for example for fastest lap during the race and since 2021 sprint races were introduced offering even more points. So at the moment Michael Schumacher is the record holder with 84.71% from all main race points. Max Verstappen however is going to break this record as currently after 20 of the 22 races he has scored 94.20% of all main race points (471 / 500). If you add the sprint race and fastest lap results into the total as well he has scored 92.25% of all available points (524 / 568)." - Verstappen has almost 93%, beating Schumacher.

The most awaited Podcast in the history of F1

“Mode 1, Strat 1, Max. This is it….This is it.” Greatest radio call I’ve ever heard.

The calmest and most willing to share I've ever seen MV in an interview. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I HAVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS EPISODE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

Just the fact that GP said Max got him used to winning races shows how much respect he has for Max.

The grandma comment in 2020 was the moment I became a huge Max Verstappen Fan. These two, absolute legends

Max is just the perfect storm. He is what happens when you max out every stat you need to be a F1 champion. Tonnes of raw talent rammed into shape by a ruthless but effective upbringing by a man that knew exactly what mistakes to avoid, because he himself made them all.

He voice is soo soothing and his choice of words are perfect. Never thought an italian has so good of an English

When Max said "we're both in this together" that summed it up for me. Doesn't matter if it gets tough and sometimes a bit feisty, they're both in it for the same outcome which helps them get over it

I wish more people would see this side of Max and not the villian dts edit that F1 is trying to sell. He's funny,polite and humble and is clearly loved by the team💙

Find yourself a girl who looks at you the way GP looks at Max 😂

I love that Max is only ever in racing clothes or a white tee shirt and jeans! Just a dude who loves to race (and win)

Its so nice to have a champion that is real. He isn't scripted and is straight forward. Absolutely what the sport needed.

as a mercedes fan , max is such a funny character , as person he is so lovable.

GP is such a nice person i think it's really amazing, it's also kinda weird that you can see the man whose voice you hear every race

Nice to hear GP says Max is like his little brother 😊

LH fan here, but as a racing fan first, you have to respect their achievements👏well done to both

Max is a machine and GP and Hannah are exactly what he needs. I hope Red Bull knows they shouldn’t break this team up if they want to continue winning. “If it isn’t broke….”

Ive said it before and I’ll say it again, GP is one of the best race engineers in the game. He always stays calm and clear on the radio, his relationship with Max is like yin and yang

Between, Newey, Horner, Lambiase, Schmitz, the mechanics and of course Max, Red Bull definitely brings their A Team! Edit: and of course Marko, for all his issues, he found Seb and Max and I’m grateful!

"Let's just get on with it." Max's hatred for podcasts is hilarious, even more so with his birthday falling on International Podcast Day 😂 GP-Max, the best combo on the grid, hands down!

I remember hearing Max say that GP's last race would be his last race. Neither has won a race without the other, so in a way, they're each other's lucky charm.

27:57 living for GP’s smirk 😂 he knows what Max is alluding to

This is the interview i was craving for. So fun to watch that relationship. How people can hate Max is beyond me.

I've never been a fan of his dad, but he raised an amazing young man .

It was about time... Max and GP. Legends and awesome talk

Lovely to see and hear more of GP. And so nice to hear how fluent max' English has become and also has matured in such a level headed way. Not arrogant just Dutch. Dikke klasse.

Max has the least damage cost form crashes and incidents of the whole grid this year, even that is almost perfect

Both GP and Max don't want to use perfect. Let's just say their combination, commitment and cooperation is as close to optimal as is possible. Epic duo. Thanks for showing us more of GP.

Oh man, imagine the hype if Max, Seb and Fernando do the Le Mans together with GP being one of the engineers. That would be so damn epic. Please, make it happen!

FINALLY we have GP on the stand! Thanks for that.

I love that Max is always repping the Red Bull shirt and cap.

THANK YOU RED BULL for this episode! When Max & GP talk to each other during the races, it's very entertaining. Max Verstappen is the best Formula 1 driver of all time! Red Bull Racing has the best team! All the people who work for this team are heroes!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

30:31 This moment felt like a couple’s therapy session. 😂

The fact tthat Max has said hes willing to drive in Endurance has literally proved everything ive been saying for years haha. This man will take Fernando's crown of being the best driver ever, people will argue saying that Alonso has only 2 titles but forget the achievements outside of F1 which arent easy in the slightest. The ability they both have to just jump in any car and make it competetive and outdrive the limits of it is just unreal and people are too blind to see and appreciate greatness. Too busy looking at instagram followers and connections in the fashion world and when you compare that with pure racing talent that these 2 have its just levels above any other driver we have ever seen in any series

I never used to like max but iv grown to like his humour lately he’s a funny lad

Max's recollection of his first win says a lot about him as a person - it says why he has a winning attitude and the hardwork that goes into winning. He is the real deal.

This was awesome! Great questions, great people and great banter😁 Thank you Red Bull for making this happen!

Loved every bit of it! If anything it was way too short, I could have watched and listened forever to GP and Max. Thank you so much Nicola and Red Bull Racing for giving us this interview, brilliant! ❤😘

I'm not here going to sit like grandma... A champion speaking his heart ❤️ btw GP is so underrated

This is such a treat! The podcast we’ve all been waiting for. The best people are the ones who also lift the people up around them as they are winning. This is what makes Max and the whole Red Bull team so formidable and dominant like no other. Go Super Max and the best race engineer on the grid, GP! 💪🏼🙌🏼

We love GP! Very nice guy and the right race engineer for Max! Kudos.👍

MEGA of them to give a little peek into the dynamics of their relationship. Like Max clarified, most people think they are actually fighting while on the radio sometimes, which they are obviously not.😊

Dynamic duo. Absolute legends!

Some people in the comments are only now finding out that Max is actually a funny, likeable guy, it seems. Clearly indoctrinated victims of the toxic British F1-media. Anyway, that was great. Especially GP, who seldom gives interviews and prefers to stay in the background. But he's such a great, knowledgable guy I'd love to hear more from him.

Their chemistry is awesome

"And it's lights out and away we go! Max Verstappen gets a good start and immediately wins the Grand Prix!"

Weird but GP is becoming my favorite personality in F1… would love for him to tell us all the behind the scene stories.

2 things I like about GP: First he's crystal clear. No miscommunications with him, you know exactly what he tells you or asks of you. Unlike that broken google translate engineer poor Charles has to deal with every race. And unlike the race engineer of "that other multiple world champion" that shall remain nameless he's not a spineless yes man. Max starts whining on the radio, GP tells him to shut up and drive.

This is why i like their relationship so much, they both are so committed and they just want more which shows the dedication towards the sport

i think Max is such a lovable guy with a great smile

Greatest F1 Driver Engineer Duo

Man, I love them both so much! Such incredible people and pairing. No wonder they are dominating this sport at the moment.

Max definitely has grown up, nevertheless GP is a legend for putting up with that level of intensity.

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST CONTENT ON KZfaq EVER. Ofcourse we all glad to see Max in a podcast but also having GP in a podcast is something else. Can't really tell how awesome was that.

My favorite interview of the year! Simply lovely to see G.P. up front and hear his clear voice 😊 Also Max seems more relaxed when chatting with G.P. alongside him 🙂

Finally a full length Max Verstappen Podcast 😅

I wish GP was my Dad. He honestly reminds me so much of my Dad who has been gone for 10 years now. These two are amazing and I love thier constant radio interactions.

we all needed this episode.

I love how the engineer is always polite and calm, calling Max by his name on the radio

The podcast every RB fan has been waiting for!! The only disappointment was, that it was too short. Could have listened to this for a few hours. Thank you RB!

As a person who loves motorsport, engineering, aerodynamics and ofc RBR team I love to hear GP's insights as I want to become on race engineer maybe even someone's personal engineer! Thanks for making this happen, it has been amazing to hear all the race stuff!

Max is pretty close to a cyborg. Very few sportspeople have such singular determination. Unbelievable representation of when innate giftedness is combined with unflinching dedication.

Of course this guy has a can of Redbull with him

The dream interview, amazing, wow. Can't believe this actually happened with Max and Gp interviewing together. Thanks for making this possible!

Max with in house interviewer=good vibe! May not be best PR guy, but no BS and definite champions mentality. He also tends to understate his success, not a self promoter, never brags and always credits team for his success.

This is y i love Max he is straightforward no drama...even accepts his mistakes when was young and now he is charged also relaxed...GP respect for his behind the scene consistent contribution...

It very nice to hear more from Gianpiero Lambiase off track.

This is the type of working relationship that unites the RB team into the juggernaut they have become. Maximum respect to both guys as they are cleanly 'on top' of their game and work well together irrespective of the curve balls each race throws at them.

So great, and I am so happy to be included with my question! Thanks Max and GP

What you can see is that Max is one of the boys, it is one big team.

Gp and Max you are the best. The best race engineer and the best driver combination. We are so Lucky to watch what you are doing absolutely fenomenal

Thank you for this RBR. You obviously listen to your fans. Now my only wish would be you'd have some of the grunts up on the podium with Max to recieve the constructors trophy. If that's even allowed 😁 Would love to see Callum upthere one day. He's such a character.

Max is a legend, I love him. His relationship with GP is both wholesome and hilarious, but he's always thanking his team for their hard work and emphasizing how everything he achieves is also THEIR achievement. What a team ♥

Waaw Waaw Waaw! What an incredible podcast. The best ever. I'm a Max-fan, but I love GP. So cool. Finally an interview from Max together with GP! Thank youuuuuuu!!

Fantastic seeing them together in a more relaxed setting.. Nice to finally see GP some more... What a calm and collective and skilled man he is.... Max is lucky having partnered with such quality... And that goes both ways as well ofc.... And I agree with other commenters, GP your voice is amazing... If you ever wonder what to do next, do commentary or something audio/podcast plz :)

27:52 That was such a clear front towards Ferrari. 🤣

Nice to know they have very intense relationship😂 Thank you for this, very nice.

This was so cool! GP's voice is so relaxing. They compliment each other really well.

They are completly zen with eachother.

Like as Max says I am also not a big fan of podcasts because of their time length, this was my first ever podcast and I literally wished it was 3 hours or maybe more than that. Thank you so much guys for giving us this ❤❤❤

GP is such an excellent Engineer. a world champion of his league his calmness, and his approach is very different to what other engineers life for example Ferrari which are still checking to this very day.

The best duo on the grid. They have such a great partnership. This has been one of my favourite episodes so far.❤

GP is really like a big brother to Max.

Waited a long time for this one..GP and Max together!. Beautiful! Their relationship is magic. And a lot of fun as well! Two champs. And really nice guys.

Just what I needed to get through my morning shift!

Okay.. Max may not like podcasts, but I LOVED every single second of this! Could listen to these guys for hours!
