this how an engineer should talk to a talkative driver. Gunther also talks a lot more stern over the radio then others and it works wonders.

GP is a wizard with words he always knows the right thing to say and he demands respect without making it obvious 👌

I think there's also a bit of Dutch directness in there. If you beat around the bush or are overcomplicating something to be polite you're not communicating clearly. Especially in high stress situations. So nothing personal, but direct and clear communication. You'll be buddies and have tea by the time you've finished...

GP is Italian!

This kind of relation just fits in the RB-phylosophy and GP and Max picked it up at some point that people actually liked it. I bet that Spa was a bit of a pre summerbreak exaggeration.

Max’s attitude towards total domination, shows he has no interest in leaving

Well they’ve been together thru ups and downs so the trust is hard to break.

Horner describes them as an "old married couple". They bicker with each other, particularly under stressful circumstances, but don't even try to get between them. Apparently Max always apologises after, especially if he's been in the wrong, and will often do things like bring GP an ice cream as a peace offering lol. He said that Max genuinely trusts GP - like a kid brother and his older one. The best engineer/driver relationships have often been the same sort of way. They'll play out a little differently, but they'll essentially be the same. It's all built on trust. (You can hear the difference between the best relationships and those currently between the drivers and engineers at Ferrari. There is little to no trust, especially regarding strategy there. It breaks my heart for those lads, they both deserve their own Bonos or GPs.) The driver has to trust whether his engineer's instructions are a) going to help him get the best out of the race and b) won't get him injured or killed. And the engineer has to trust that the driver will do as he says and not get himself killed. That may seem like an exaggeration, but as it says on the ticket, motorsports are dangerous. I'm trying to think of another, more inherently dangerous sport than motorsports; anything in which one goes fast and has a machine involved. E.g. speed boats and aeroplane races, and anything similar you can think of, come under this "motorsports" heading. Even gliding and parachuting have engines involved at some point. I guess that diving and base jumping (or any other way of plummeting to the earth with or without some sort of mechanical assistance) are probably the only more dangerous ones. Horse riding can also be potentially fatal, but that also includes a relationship of trust in both parts. Thinking along these lines does help one get some idea of how precious a top "couple" is. Heck, Rob Smedley even left Ferrari to go to Williams along with "Felipe Baby"! They were a great couple too lol. IIRC he left F1 when Felipe retired the second time around. Anyway, all this means is don't read anything negative into Max & GP's relationship. They're no worse together than me and my old man and we've been married very nearly 35 years! Sure, we bicker, but I really mean it when I say "don't even _think_ about coming between us". Not if you want to remain intact. I get the feeling that it's similar with them!

I'd be inclined to simply agree with what others are saying that what was heard on the radio is probably just the usual way they butt heads with no real intention of causing any issues. They've been together since 2016 and pretty sure both sides know how important it is for them to trust each other on and off the track and also know when not to push it anymore. Max could have easily demanded to go to the pits but ultimately didn't. That's what he did in Austria for fastest lap and GP relented. So both of them they know it more than anyone that there are times when one side gets what they want and the other doesn't and vice versa. That's all part of that driver-race engineer dynamic that not everyone gets what they want.

GP's dead calm is the perfect balance to Max's hot temper. You have to consider these drivers run on adrenaline all the time in the car. Tempers can flare up even in the most mild mannered man when you regularly drive at + 200MPH. Max has said if GP retires he quits because he doesn't want to work with anyone else. And besides, Max has been working with GP for close to a decade now and people who have followed his career a lot longer attest that Max has matured and calmed down quite a bit as he's gotten older. GP could handle Max as a hotheaded, impatient teenager, he can handle Max now.

GP has a huge role in the success and at the end of the day Max respects him. Its clear.

Imagine Max and Xavi(Leclerc's engineer)

Max himself said (in interview with DC) that it's something he wants from his engineer and if his engineer wasn't critical they wouldn't be as successful. Max knows no-one is perfect and that everyone can always do better, including himself. "i should be able to tell you off, and you should be able to tell me off"

When both are able to bicker with each other it's just bros being bros, if it's one sided then that's when you know it's abusive. For example, if a driver complained all the time and the engineer can only say, 'sorry', 'our mistake', etc.

Every win GP has had Max has been there and vice-versa. They're more like older and younger siblings. Then again I guess media need to make stories and stuff up over the month break 🤦‍♂️😂

Anyone managing a much younger colleague can understand this. Fortunately Max is exceptionally intelligent.

Max always said sorry when he’s wrong in the end or bought GP I’ve cream as a peace offering like a smart little brother to a wise senior older brother.

GP is awesome 😀

No "Valtteri, It's James".

The Golfer and Caddie relationship

It's not spiky... Max is Dutch and usually Dutch people are really direct in their communication and expect the same back... that's what's happening. If you're not used to that it might seem confrontational... take note that their communication never leads to an argument because they're both completely clear about their position from the start... it's just a very direct back and forth.

We need a guy who can talk with lion 🦁.

"Intensity" LOL, a nice way to call him a prick.

the easiest and quickest answer to get rid of RB and max haters that claim negative things about the radio messages: verstappen said he would quit F1 if GP stopped being his engineer... and verstappen doesnt say shit lightly...

People who think they are bickering are the same people who think the movie Whiplash is about being abused or being in an abusive relationship. Achieving greatness takes an extremely focused version of obsession and insanity that average people view as abuse.
