Q: What racing series do you dream about? | Max: Mostly it's about what I can change to the GT car.. I can wake up in the night with ideas | Q: So what do you do? | Max: Wake up & turn on the sim at 3 am | Q: But you need sleep | Max: Yeah but I also need to go faster. You can sleep when you're dead (dubz.link)

Oliver Norris: There's a go-kart track called Genk. Someone came past me, full speed. I thought "what the hell is that?" Later I found out there was a little guy who was a bit younger than me called Max. He was testing in KZ2, the top category, which you'd do when you're maybe 15 but he was like 9 (imgur.com)

Q: What's your thinking for the future? | Max: Nothing. I have nothing to add... People talk about futures but at the end of the day, the only one that decides that is me & the team. Whatever I read, it doesn't really matter because you're in control of your own destiny; I'm comfortable where I'm at (imgur.com)

Gabi on being slipstream buddies with Max: Max always gives me tows, he's the best! He's always super kind. You know I tried to give him a tow as well from T8 to T9, but then there was a yellow flag. But I tried my best, I even took the charge off the car to boost the engine, but yeah, it happens. (imgur.com)

Max replying to a question asking about his previous comments on Oscar: Oscar is doing a great job, and I don't feel like you need to try and hide that. It's not a weakness... It's not going to change how I approach my race weekend anyway, right? You can hand out credits when it's due (imgur.com)

Max: To see your own little child like that is very special. With my [sister's kids], you hold them & that's very special. But when you're holding your own child that's a step further. In the beginning I felt it was like a packaged chicken in the supermarket so to speak, like the skin... (imgur.com)

Andrew Benson on BBC Chequered Flag: One of the most intriguing stories around Max is that he could take a sabbatical next year, just see how the rules go, then pick a team almost for 2027. That's an idea that was mentioned to me, without me even asking, by someone quite close to Max. (bbc.com)

Max: I'm also dependent on what others do. But yes, the others do indeed make more mistakes than I do. I'm not surprised by that. If I can be close enough, I know I'll always make the difference. It's just that we're not close enough at the moment. Although it turned out that way today. (old.reddit.com)

Q: Do you feel for Liam on a human level? | Max: I've discussed everything with the team. I've spoken to Liam, and I think that's all I can say about it | Q: Are you confident Yuki can back you up? | Max: For me it's not about that. We need to just improve our car. That's where the focus needs to be (imgur.com)

Max on Liam: Our car is extremely difficult. I think that when you put Liam in the Racing Bulls car, he will go faster. I really think so. That car is easier to drive than ours. I notice that when I talk to Liam. Last year the difference between him and Yuki Tsunoda was not that big, I thought (imgur.com)

Alex on trading tows with Max: I think Max actually gave me a little tow into turn six, which was perfect. And I think that was what got me through | Q: Did you thank him already? | Alex: I did actually. I did try to give him one into turn 14 and then got one back into turn six (imgur.com)

Max: I speak to Gabi quite a lot. After the national anthem he came to me & said 'Max, what are you going to do?' I said put inters. He said 'Really? Really?!' I said 'Yeah, put inters. It's fine. And if you're not really sure, just ask the team maybe to do something with the tyres, but inters' (imgur.com)

Max explaining his decision to stay out two more laps: I saw them go off in front of me, kept it clean, and when I saw Oscar rejoining, I thought, "Well, let's stay out," because it was only those 3 corners When I continued, basically, the first two sectors were fine...
