    Max is good driver, even great.
    But he is not good person. He has no integrity, he is so "above
    everybody". George is right. Finally someone said what was needed to
    be said long ago.
    I've never liked him.

    Max is a excellent racing driver, and has all of the ruthlessness and selfishness that all of the greats have to some degree or other. But that doesn't make him likeable, the guy's a real prick when challenged and
    under pressure, and too easily resorts to playing dirty.

    But it's the Red Bull team itself I truly can't stand. They're just
    impossible to like, arseholes from top to bottom. Horner in particular is atrocious, just the absolute dirt worst. The thing I dislike the most
    about Red Bull is that they are "bad winners"; there's no humility, just smugness.

    I have enjoyed this drama between George and Max, though. It'd be amusing
    to see George keep making mention of Abu Dhabi '21 to stir the pot, he
    could start referring to Max as a "three-time world champion", that'd be guaranteed to rile up the Dutch lad.

    Yeah, I agree to all you mentioned. RBR was somewhat "artificial" team
    from the beggining. And they are for sure bad winners. They are not in
    the league with traditional teams: Ferrari, McLaren, Williams,
    Mercedes.
