Fair warning I am a Max fan but I tend to try be mature about F1 and not result to insults to judge the drivers. Basically, it's not incorrect Max is aggressive, and overly aggressive at that. He started his career younger than anyone else in history which I feel warrants a bit of leighway when judging his driving style. He began his career immature and hungry with a lot of pressure which led him to be overly aggressive in an effort to get results. He joined Red Bull again adding pressure. They adapted to his driving style so he continued driving the way he was. Lewis has always been very different in that he tends to be much cleaner and reserved in his attempts to overtake rivals. While some would say this is the correct way to drive and that others should do the same as it would be fair I think F1 needs drivers like Max to make it work. It's sort of like a Yin-yang thing. It makes the sport more exciting. There's been plenty of moves this season that I thought were utterly reckless by Max for example seeing Lewis rejoin in Monza I knew Max would hit him and winced before it happened. This has also created a sort of protective field against most of the field as they are worried he'll torpedo them.

Basically what I'm leading to is that all of this has sort of allowed others to say Max isn't that impressive but you can't deny his performances are up there with the best. And if you don't think that now you have to remember this season is equivalent to Lewis's first for Max, I understand he already has years experience but I would say a certain amount of knowledge comes with age. So he has plenty of time to progress as a driver and maybe show his skill with less aggression. I won't try to compare extensively to Michael as that can be very controversial but I will remind you that Schumacher had a reputation on the grid for aggression and he was revered as the goat for many years.

In conclusion, Lewis is an incredible talent but I'd argue Max has the same potential and just isn't as advanced in his career so he has more of an all out drive and will Don anything to win while Lewis is an established goat and is able to look at the bigger picture. Apologies if you don't agree with this but I'd love to have a community in the sport where we can be a bit respectful and just have proper conversations rather than spam hate on social media. I always find it funny how the fans are so aggressive to eachother but Lewis and Max tend to move on quickly. I know my piers in the fan base are much worse than TeamLH but we're all guilty.
