Summary of Max Verstappen’s documentary ‘Whatever It Takes’

TRIGGER WARNING: abuse • the whole documentary can be summed up in two words: ‘Jos Verstappen’. he talks more than Max and almost everything is about him and how “he made this happen”. there’s only about ten minutes that actually focus on Max as a person. Max’ karting days: • Max actually played football for a bit and liked that more but Jos didn’t like that so he had to stop • Max’ parents got divorced and Max went to live with Jos while his sister Victoria with to live with their mom Sophie and Victoria said to be separated from her brother hurt her a lot • a close friend of Max said that even when Max won, Jos wouldn’t be happy because Max would have made a small mistake and the friend recalls Jos flipping out on Max several times • literally EVERYONE in the whole documentary mentioned how Jos would get angry if Max didn’t do well on track • Max recalls being called “a (r slur) asshole” and “a stupid pig” by Jos and said that was a summary of how karting was for him • when Max lost a race in Italy, Max started crying and Jos just smashed all of their stuff into the van. a friend recalls being scared of Jos and comforting Max, but Jos didn’t appreciate him comforting Max. Max wanted to drive home with that friend but Jos didn’t allow that. this is when Jos left Max alone at a gas station, in the middle of Italy. Max called his mom crying and then Jos came back for Max but he didn’t talk to him for a week • Sophie said that she missed Max a lot when he was growing up and she thinks Max feels sorry but he doesn’t know how to express that so he visits her often and texts her a lot. she said “I feel as if this is his way of making amends” • they dedicated a whole ten minutes to Jos F1 career and how he was a second driver so his team didn’t focus on him too much and that’s why he wasn’t able to show his potential (sound familiar? lol)

Max’ Formula 1 career: • Mercedes were interested in Max, but Jos lied to them and said Toro Rosso wanted Max for two years instead of the actual one year Helmut Marko offered so Mercedes ended up declining • Max knew they were going to drop Daniil for him half a year before it actually happened. he said “I can say that now, can I? yeah who cares, I’ll say that now” • Jos almost starts crying when he talks about the moment when Max got into F1 and he couldn’t control him anymore (that’s literally what he said) • Max justifies this by saying; “I just don’t feel that emotion cause I don’t have any kids. I mean, not that I know of” • Max says he doesn’t listen to the Dutch fans because “they don’t even understand the sport” • there’s a shot in which Max gets a haircut in Monaco and the hairdresser asks “are you here for the Grand Prix?” and Max says “yeah, yeah I am” and the hairdresser says “back in the day, drivers used to come by my salon” (💀) • Max’ mom burns a candle for him every race weekend because she believes it’s good luck and then she always sends a picture of that candle to Max. Max shows all the pictures to the camera while laughing

the last ten minutes that are actually focused on Max: • on Max’ birthday back in 2019, Daniel texts him “birthday boy, are you ok?” and then they show Max and Daniel getting drunk on the plane the night before. Max recalls “oh yeah, I remember that night…”. then they show a video of Max not being able to find the key for his apartment door and then struggling to open the door. then Victoria and her boyfriend are in the apartment to surprise him but Max just looks drunkenly at them and doesn’t say anything (LMAOOOO) • just a lot of shots of Max getting drunk and partying • Max’ friends talk about how Max pays for the holidays with his friends because he says he doesn’t deserve that amount of money and he wants to share it with his friends • his friends call him introverted, he likes to be alone and just race on his simulator • Max mentions how he loves F1, but he actually doesn’t want to get recognized in real life and he wishes he could change that • Max plays Fifa in his pajamas and screams “SHIT STUFF” then goes to his simulator and says “let’s try something I’m actually good at” • Max just wants to enjoy himself in life and he says he is my honest review: don’t watch it if you expect it to be focused on Max, cause it’s not. Daniel’s name is not even mentioned, there’s no Lando, no teammates and barely any focus on how Max actually is as a person. it’s literally just Jos Verstappen talking about all the sacrifices he made.

Haas Got Talent 2020 Edition

So, Mick did the FP1 on Friday with K.Mag's engineers and mechanics and he'll do the Young Drivers Test tomorrow with Grosjean's.

And after that, apparently it will be decided which of the two teams get to work with him next year.

I think both teams will want him... they’ll be fighting over him

ATTENTION F1BLR

So I’ve just realized I have no clue how large the F1 community is on tumblr. Everyone, if you’re an F1 Blog, or if you frequently blog about F1 reblog this so we can try and get a number on how many of us there are. We could be a small army. We could be a large army. We must know.

I found the interview

Some wholesome romain for your dash

Translation:

Interviewer: so, are you going to coach little Mick Schumacher?

Romain: i don't know if I'm going to coach him but anyway we live near each other and we usually play some sports together and we go biking so i told him that if he has even the smallest question I'll be happy to help him.

To be honest i hoped we'd be teammates, it would have been fun, but this isn't possible.

I think he has a name that is not easy to have in formula 1, but until today he had a super career and being the formula 2 champion he deserves his place in formula 1.

I translated it a bit fast so if there any error im sorry :))

I love this duo really 😻 and just imagining Mick and Romain doing sports together 🥰🥰

Everyone at Haas has already picked a favorite child haven't they?

2020 has been such a chaotic year that 2012 mercedes and their total fucking uselessness made a comeback like. This is not the first time this year mercedes have fucked a driver's whole race with their pit lane antics in fact it's like the third. We just think they're smooth and unflappable because Lewis is smooth and unflappable and can bounce back from almost anything.

Hell, they tried to do it with the safety car last race, but then at the last minute they lost the gap... Mercedes strategy team can be very mediocre at times and Lewis just pulls through when they mess up

I feel bad for all the Mick’s haters… 

They need to put so much work and energy in hating Mick and try to persuaded other to do the same. 

What can you possibly say ? 

The boy won the F2 Championship, he was incredible, incredible moves, he doesn’t say anything wrong or over the line, he doesn’t do anything wrong, he doesn’t bother anyone, he doesn’t react to provocation, he is just there doing his own stuffs. 

To all Mick haters, I am really sorry for you, it really doesn’t seems easy to be you.

THIS!!

Anyways, my dad called me this morning a bit emo "Baby Schumacher in Formula 1, I can't believe that I'm here to see the day" followed by "What's the address for Haas? I want to send him a letter to let him know that however it may go, even if Michael is not at his F1 first race, a lot of other dads will be cheering for him at all his races"
