@verstappenews if you wanna be annoyed at him honestly whatever atp lmfao but he’s not lying. he too grew up in a privileged family just looked different from max’s, that’s what i take this as. These questions as well are dumb and meant to get this reaction !

@verstappenews Everyone’s going to misunderstand the 4th para deliberately but that’s a very frank assessment. While most drivers have a similar path to F1, few are raised like a thoroughbred the way Max was. Yet, consistency and focus has nothing to do with being able to kart in your backyard.

@verstappenews Norris isn't saying he grew up poor in the last part like the geniuses in the comments are saying. He didn't start karting until 7, Max started at 4. Karts/racing was Max's whole life, it's not an inaccurate statement at all.

@verstappenews 100% accurate assessment that will be hated on by overweight men who can't fit into a kart.

@verstappenews The only kind of driver that belongs in F1 is the driver who firmly believes that they are the best driver to ever live, faster than anyone else in equal machinery. You can win with a better car, yes. Many have. None should ever enter the sport without the belief.

@verstappenews If he had had Verstappen's childhood, he would be in therapy now.

@verstappenews One of the reasons is that Jos was very good in his karting days & went up against one of the GOATs, Schumacher He definitely passed on a lot of what he learnt from being around Schumacher, & Max’s driving style is quite similar to Schumacher. So yeah, I agree with Lando here

@verstappenews What is he even waffling about in the last 2 parts? Norris‘ dad is worth several hundred million and got Norris into the best karting teams in the world the second he switched to international karting. Lil bro is delusional man😭

@verstappenews Bro thinks he's from a modest background lol

@verstappenews Started off well and then he started blaming Jos Verstappen for how much he bottled it

@verstappenews LMAOOOO he is 100% correct of course but also 100% defeated.

@verstappenews All started well until the last 2 paras.....😂😂

@verstappenews it’s fucking disgusting how y’all crawl into every comment section just to hate on lando. he could spend days showing nothing but love and respect for max, and you’d still twist it into something to drag him down. and the truth is, everyone knows what he meant. he meant that with

@verstappenews He’s not wrong but by the same token Lando comes from extreme wealth. Him being brought up like max wouldn’t have made a difference. Strolls dad bought an entire team just to keep him in the sport and look how that’s going..

@verstappenews Ain't his father some kind of a millionaire in England ? Wasn't he born into a rich family ? Why he playin to be David Beckham's wife Can't he just be honest for once ?

@verstappenews As the son of a millionaire who spared no expense on his son's racing career maybe he should skip the part where he passes judgment on other's privileges.

@verstappenews started well but then acted like he grew up poor ahahaha

@verstappenews "And it is hard to beat someone who was born into an F1 seat." Excuse me? Max wasn't 'born' into anything, he's had to work just as hard as anyone to get where he is now

@verstappenews Started so well but bottled by the end a classic acting like he is from a working class

@verstappenews To be honest: I would be probably better at racing than Lando, but I didn’t have rich parents. I hope everyone understand now Lando’s logic ☺️ All the best people! ✌️

@verstappenews This is a very fair and honest take. And I mostly agree with what he said. But people will hate just because it’s the trendy thing to do ATM

@verstappenews You know, I grew up in a middle class family...........i heard that somewhere before.

@verstappenews I really thought he was redeeming himself could’ve ended it at the third part😭 but this is still better than anything else he’s said

@verstappenews what he said is true but off putting, he points towards upbringin and resorces, but theres an individual factor that he is missing, related to resiliance and obssesion with racing, mentality and ability to performe under pressure. Its what you do with what you have what matters

@verstappenews Ppl will still pick words from this and drag lando, poor guy

@verstappenews Testing? He literally barely did one season in junior formula

@verstappenews So now is blaming his genes?????? Omg 🤣🤣🤣

@verstappenews Yeah fuck off lando 🤡🤡

@verstappenews

@verstappenews I think he talking about himself being better than he is now in the last part. Feels like all very fair comments from him

@verstappenews Fair assessment tbh

@verstappenews “If you don’t think you’re the best, you might just stay at home” or something along these lines

@verstappenews Aint no way this guy bottled a fkin interview

@verstappenews Great big words from Lando and yes, Max is one of the best drivers in history. Maybe he is the best. Because he’s talent is impressive in all different fields of motorsport

@verstappenews He is not wrong, and the good thing is he is saying this openly
